Missteps of Devon is a philosophical text on the subject of sorcery, a critique of the Devonian School. The critiques attack belief that sorcerous meaning is found in underlying laws of Creation, drawing evidence from disparate other theories and approaches to sorcery to show that each achieves the same results without adhering to the supposed ‘laws’ theorized by Devon. Instead, perhaps a sign the author was associated with the Silurian School of Sorcery, it is proposed that sorcerous meaning is found in the interplay of symbols, whose relations and positions can explain sorcerous effects.
