However, when all is said and done, its workremains a foundation stone and springboard for most modern magical training andexperiment. "Chic and Tabatha Cicero, as representatives of a stalwart band dedicated topreserving [the Golden Dawn's] teaching and powers intact, deserve praise indeveloping such specific instruction as an aid to any modern student, experiencedor beginner, who seeks to tap into this important magical current."
