Solve Et Coagula

[ivankiss]

"Yes. We have dismembered Magic. But this is actually just part of a central magical formula. This is the alchemical formula of Solve Et Coagula. 'Solve' means.. it's basically an analysis, it means; 'breaking a thing down to its smallest component.' The second part of the formula - Coagula - is synthesis. It is placing those parts back together in a hopefully improved form or at least better understood form. And it seems to me that that is perhaps what needs to happen with Magic and hence with culture and society."

- Alan Moore 

Is anyone here aware of this and/or any other "legit" source of information regarding Magic? 

Very curious.
