Alan Moore on The History of Magick

I disagree with Moore's stance on paganist forms of magick involving the worship of many gods. There are a multitude of practical and supernatural applications of magic in the pursuit of revelation of art and wisdom, but these should be pursued in the worship of The Great Spirit, bound to His Laws of Nature. The Christian Mystic Jacob Bohme understood God in a monotheist perspective while appreciating the trinity and Elohim referenced in The Bible for what they are- aspects of a greater whole more perfect than the creation He has created. We are meant to worship The Creator and are ordered not to commune with spirits or false gods. I agree to an extent with Moore's criticisms of The Church State (Theocratic Government and Religious Cult Societies) and his depiction of the history of magic otherwise, but I believe Moore sees the spirits of the spirit world as entities to worship, saying that mortals can become god-like. While God can show us many wonders and great wisdom and there is a great difference between those who are awakened and saved, the idea that we can can become gods or are not subject to the Law of God & Nature is insane blasphemy.
