John Dee, the alchemist and occultist, used scrying (among other things like sex magick) to conjure. He was the original 007 – ‘for your eyes only’ – to Elizabeth I. That’s where Fleming got it from.
He was a spy and a prototype for British Intelligence. I believe that he was also an early advocate of British Empire building.
Aleister Crowley, another alchemist and occultist (in the same tradition) was also a British Intelligence spy…and did the same things…
Hand washing, mask-wearing and hypnotic states are all ritualistic.
We went on holiday once, to an island off the coast of Africa. The owner of the resort had been a costume designer on the movie, ‘The Dark Crystal’, directed by Jim Henson, whom she had gone on to marry…and divorce.
Anyway, the interesting thing is that the islanders did not allow anyone to take their photos…as they believed that it would be stealing their souls.
