As I was telling someone last night, if you are one who is interested in exploring true Catholic magic, I cannot overemphasize the usefulness of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. Venerated since the 14th century, these auxillary saints have been known to be particularly helpful in the prevention and recovery of a wide variety of ailments, making them invaluable to the magician as a source of healing. Further, any saint known to alleviate a symptom can be asked to inflict that same symptom, making them a curse-slinger’s best weapon.
