論劏這回事，還是伊斯蘭最講究，他們認為“劏”與“殺”不一樣，“劏”只能是刀切，一刀過，會刻意減少動物的疼痛，而“殺”，則內有“惡”心的。阿拉伯人和我說“是切，不是殺”，他當時是這樣和我說的："cut, but not kill." 就這樣變成一個梗，一語雙關——“砍他但不殺它”（那豈不是更殘暴！）。在劏羊的時候，會把三隻腳捆住，只留出一隻腳讓它掙扎，這樣血流速度會較快就不會那麼疼痛。他們還有特殊的切法，所以伊斯蘭的屠宰場都不會以機器來切。

畫符本身不太需要魔法圈，但是還是要提一句，畫西方的符有一種現象，當你畫完符念咒的時候經常會有阿飄會來到你附近，這就有點像寺廟和教堂周圍會有很多阿飄一樣的道理。東方符則不會，所以還是建議沒事弄個圈。很多人都以為魔法圈這個魔幻的東西來自于西方，其實來自2500年前印度的《羅摩傳》（Ramayana）拉卡斯曼在地上畫圈保護Sita的那段典故，影響了當時快滅國的亞述人，在Ea Nisaba中用水合麵粉灑一圈，埃及人覺得太浪費糧食了，改用做木乃伊的材料泡堿來畫圈，巴比倫拿下亞述後也開始使用魔法圈，攻打了猶太人後，猶太也跟著學做起了魔法圈。隨之傳入波斯，波斯再到希臘，因此PGM才有出現一個魔法圈稱為“太陽影子”的魔法圈，用粉筆在地上畫圈，後世使用粉筆就是從此時開始的。而中世紀的魔法圈開始複雜起來就要怪《何諾流斯宣誓之書》，之後Peter de Abano抄了這個魔法圈下來寫成《七天之書》，這本小冊火了，隨後就影響到很多儀式。到了文藝復興，圈變得越來越多樣化，就像麥田怪圈一樣越來越複雜。近代的魔法圈則有克勞利的版本統一使用，在魔法四書裡還有幾種國外流行使用的魔法圈。
