N evertheless, science is at the bottom of Magic, as love is at the bottom of Christianity, and in the evangelic symbols we see the incarnated Word -verbe or Logos) worshipped from its infancy by three Magi led by a star: (the ternary and the sign of the microcosm): and receiving from them gold, incense and myrrh; another mysterious ternary under whose emblems are contained allegorically the highest secrets of the Kabala.
Hence Christianity did not owe its hatred to magic; but human ignorance is always afraid of the unknown. Science was obliged to conceal herself to get away from the passionate assaults of a blind love. She veiled herself in new hierogly phies, dissimulated her efforts, disguised her hopes. Then was created the jargon of Alchemy - a continued deception for the vulgar that were thirsting for gold, and only a living language for the true disciples of Hermes.
