interpretation of voces magicae. Prayer, magic, and the stars in the
ancient and late antique world. Ed. Scott Noegel, Joel Walker, and Brannon

* There's also a couple pieces in Stanley Tambiah's CULTURE, THOUGHT, AND
SOCIAL ACTION that might be useful, though I haven't gotten to them yet.
You should probably check Chapter 9 of Crowley's MAGIC IN THEORY AND
PRACTICE for a practitioner's view on the topic.
