For a well-written summary of the "laws" of magic, see P.E.I. Bonewits,
*Real Magic* (1978). See also Arthur C. Clarke's story "Superiority"
(anthologized in numerous collections), which includes his famous statement
that "sufficiently advanced technology is indistiguishable from magic."

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are sordid
matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
