“Art, being separated from the living organism of the unity of the Tetragrammaton (i.e. Mysticism, Gnosis, Magic, and Hermetic Philosophy - Channel Note), is necessarily removed from gnosis as well as from sacred magic—from which it springs and to which it owes its substance and the sap of its life. The pure revelation of gnosis has become more and more a game of the imagination and the power of magic has degenerated more and more into aesthetics. Richard Wagner understood this and wanted to remedy it. The work of Wagner followed the aim of the reintegration of art—to effect reunion with gnosis and mysticism so that it becomes sacred magic again.”
