Sun drinks Moon laughs.
Throughout his itinerant life, 15th century magi, Cornelius Agrippa, in one way and another, was constantly dogged by accusations of heresy, and in his book ...Occult Philosophy, he lays out a method of what has been called mind transference, others might call it telepathy, or even entanglement, and I’m just going to paraphrase a little from said book …
Agrippa felt that Air causes dreams, and many other impressions of mind, through prolonging of Images and similitudes, articulating as sense. He felt possible, and far from all manner of superstition, that a person should be able in a very little time to signify their thoughts to another, abiding at a very long, even unknown, distance.
So as ritual, as identity, he would go out into open air, sometimes just opening windows, and face a quarter where a being with whom he wished to communicate was, or if said quarter was unknown he would face in turn each cardinal point, and audibly call out name of person three times, each with added emphasis. While he was doing this, he’d extend his arms and hands, as if in appeal, clearly picturing being’s features with mind, and then, he felt, his message would be heard. At this juncture he would speak as though being stood before him, clearly and decidedly. Having done this he would listen for a reply, which would come, he said, as though one were speaking to mind without ear’s aid.
