The Soul of the World is defined by Cornelius Agrippa as "The ever-changing force, from the bosom of which so many wonders flow and rush upon us". de Plancy, J. C., (1863). Dictionnaire Infernal. 6ed. pg.27
De Plancy states that the Soul of the World is in everything, both natural and artificial, and that it infuses them with celestial properties. He says that, through science, we can use these properties to our benefit for a wide variety of purposes. 
According to Chevalier Gougenot des Mousseaux, it is by manipulating the Soul of the World that people can create magical objects and perform spells.
