{{Style S-Small capitals|HENRY KUNRATH}}, in his ''Amphitheatrum Sapientiae Aeternae, ''gives a (physiognomical description of the forms elementary spirits present to the Magus when he approaches the threshold. Their forms are gossamer-like, and therefore cannot be seen by the physical eye unless aided by Magic Science. Some of them are horribly malignant, some as hostile as fiends, others more gentle and penitent. The latter soon pass from the abode of darkness, or the earth's atmosphere, to that of light, or the celestial spheres. Before the change of location can take place, the subjective faculties must be unfolded, which, we stated in a previous article, should occur, before the spirit passes from the mundane to the spiritual life. The malignancy of elementary spirits has been a terror to Cabalistic Neophites in their initiation, or when they have attempted to approach the threshold in search of knowledge from the causal world. There is no danger, however, attending the ceremonies providing the will is properly schooled and ''talismanic power ''is at hand in case of emergency.

A well-known mystic writer states: “He who would establish intercourse with these varying beings resembles a traveller who would penetrate unknown lands. He is exposed to strange dangers and inconjectural terrors. Let those remember that when this intercourse is once gained, there is no security from the chances to which this journey is exposed. No one, unless he is properly educated in mystic philosophy, can traverse paths free from wanderings of the deadliest foes. If he attempts it he must face and hazard all. Amidst the dwellers of this threshold is one, too, surpassing in malignity and hatred of tribes, one whose eyes have paralized the bravest, whose power increases over the Neophite in proportion to his fear and his deficiency of wisdom.”
