Rabin, Sheila J. in Dougherty 157 "Among the "Theses according to His Own Opinion" in the Conclusions, Pico frequently invoked Kabbalah within the magical theses. Kabbalistic references appear in the mathematical theses (7a:67,68), Zoroastrian theses (8:14), magical theses (9: 7, 9, 15, 188, 22, 25, 26), and the Orphic theses (10: 4, 10, 13, 15, 21).

"All magic that is in use among the moderns, and which the church justly exterminates, has no firmness, no foundation, no truth, because it… depends on the enemies of the first truth, those powers of darkness, which pour the darkness of falsehood over poorly disposed intellects," but "natural magic is permitted and not prohibited."
