High Magic versus Low Magic and Ritual Results

Elliott distinguishes between "high magic" (theurgy), which calls upon divine names and archangels, and "low magic," which involves nature spirits and elemental beings. He describes his methodology for rain magic and notes that he uses a pendulum to confirm if a spirit has heard his petition. While he doesn't aim for visible manifestations, he reports physical signs like sudden gusts of wind or falling trees during rituals.
