On the cover Is a “Feynman diagram” representing the repulsion of two electrons (e"), with a “virtual” photon (7) acting to transfer the force between them. This essay suggests that a similar sort of transfer operates on the level ‘of human event, one which provides ‘a mechanism for omens and the results of successful conjurations. /DAGON \ © Dagon oie Post Office Box 15284 Portland, OR 97293-5284 USA Inetpy/www.dagonproductions.comSORCERY AD VIRTUAL MECHANICS SORCERY AS VIRTUAL MECHANICS ‘The Actualization of ‘Unseen Forms in Occult Working ‘Second and Revised Edition ‘STEPHEN MACESORCERY AD VIRTUAL MECFANICD For Richard Corey Sorcery As Vinwal Mechenics Copyright ©1988, 1999 by Stephen Mace All rights reserved No prt of his ook maybe reeds, sore in etival system ramet nary fry 2y mes, Incoing techni electing. coding ‘tothe, ites por mien peri of he copa Ova eter et ooo ‘Those wishing to correspond with the author shold address: Stephen Mace P.0.Hox 256 Mion, Connecticut 60-0256 USA. ‘Those expecting a reply shuld enclne self-addressed, stamped envelope.
