July 18 (Fire) Liber LXV, Cap. IV, v. 17-18

**17. Then the scribe took note, and was glad. But Adonai had no fear of the Magician and his play. For it was Adonai who had taught all his tricks to the Magician.
18. And the Magister entered into the play of the Magician. When the Magician laughed he laughed; all as a man should do.

The scribe observing and writing is glad as the focus is ever on Adonai who has no fear and furthermore is the One source. Knowing this the Magister takes part in the play with the Magician. The Master of the Temple engaging with the Magus. There is a seeming danger here, but it seems natural for the Magister to do this in the text. However, the MT is nemo, no-man, and it may be unnatural to enter into discourse in this way leading to illusion and it's snare.
It is tough for me to grasp much from this. I guess I am trying to summarize what I can gather to kindle something. Still searching....
