"Pernety gradually assembled a circle of followers in Berlin. At his instigation, they launched what one historian has called "a sort of religion of the occult, a mixture of casuistry, ecstasy, astrology, cabalism, and alchemy." Pernety's circle acquired two protectors: an angel named Assadai, who Pernety said aided him in his work; and Prince Henry, brother of the king."
