The Christmas magic key is a concept that is often associated with the holiday season. It is said that on Christmas Eve, Santa Claus uses this special key to enter houses and deliver presents to children around the world. The idea behind the Christmas magic key is that not all houses have chimneys or traditional entryways for Santa to come in through. Therefore, the key serves as a magical tool for Santa to gain access to homes and leave gifts for the children who have been good throughout the year. The key is usually depicted as shiny and ornate, embellished with symbols of Christmas such as snowflakes or Santa's sleigh. It is believed to possess magical powers that allow it to unlock any door, regardless of whether it has a lock or not.

About the Book
Occult traditions have inspired musical ingenuity for centuries. From the Pythagorean concept of a music of the spheres to the occult subculture of 20th-century pop and rock, music has often attempted to express mystical states of mind, cosmic harmony, the demonic and the divine—nowhere more so, perhaps, than in the music for films such as The Mephisto Waltz, The Devil Rides Out, Star Trek, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Omen and The Exorcist.
This survey explores how such film music works and uncovers its origins in Pythagorean and Platonic ideas about the divine order of the universe and its essentially numerical/musical nature. Chapters trace the influence of esoteric Freemasonry on Mozart and Beethoven, the birth of “demonic” music in the 19th century with composers such as Weber, Berlioz and Liszt, Wagner’s racial mysticism, Schoenberg’s numerical superstition, the impact of synesthesia on art music and film, the effect of theosophical ideas on composers such as Scriabin and Holst, supernatural opera and ballet, fairy music and, finally, popular music in the 1960s and ’70s.
Some families even create their own magic keys, using different materials such as gold-painted cardboard or sparkly ribbons, to make it more personal and special. The tradition of the Christmas magic key is not universally practiced or believed in. Different cultures and households have their own unique customs and beliefs when it comes to Santa Claus and gift-giving during the holidays. However, for those who do embrace this concept, the magic key serves as a charming symbol of the magic and joy that surrounds the Christmas season..
