“The only way Magick ever has power is when its secrets are truly secret. Once too many people know how it works, then it doesn’t work anymore.”
“Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them.”
“Once exposed, a secret loses all its power.”
“The secret of joy in work is contained in one word-excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.”
“Secrets, I've discovered, have a way of working free of their keepers.”
“Secrets have power. And that power diminishes when they are shared, so they are best kept and kept well. Sharing secrets, real secrets, important ones, with even one other person, will change them. Writing them down is worse, because who can tell how many eyes might see them inscribed on paper, no matter how careful you might be with it. So it's really best to keep your secrets when you have them, for their own good, as well as yours.”
