yeah, i know what you're talking about. i was confirmed and everything, big guy. i'm here to help you. calm down.   it's a good introductory work to the fundamentals. this doesn't teach you fundamentals.    this is exactly what i was referencing here    . anyway, let's review the basics: magic comes from chiron, from apollo, from orpheus. these guys are all linked, just like the muses are linked via music. music is a very specific form of magic, of vibration. words, anon, are also magic, like when you "spell" a word you write or vocally incant.  yes, i very much agree with you. we're being way too liberal with these definitions here. but it's supremely important to include music as magic here, as it specifically needs to be brought along on the ride. anon did correctly identify music in the broader sense as being magical. it's intrinsically connected to all of the "magic" stuff. hell, egypt was obsessed with music. we got most of our instruments from them. some say the first musical instruments were used to calm or enthuse bees (apparently both of the human and animal variety).
