eheheh - post the yahoo page - the answers on those things are funny sometimes Razz

prime example:

Quote :: i am a real life true to the arts divine and devious wizard and sorceror, able to conjure up many megatonnes of magical energies that flow all over and give me a tingly feeling.
i know this because i made a whole cookie dissapear. didnt know it was laced with drugs though

anyway - of course wizards exist. some inside and outside the stereotype, hence there are us - doi Razz

Merlin? If you only knew. Yes, wizards really exist. But Merlin? One is not something just because that is what they become in legend. True, Merlin was very barbaric, and wizards have existed sense before we took human form. Ever hear of a Weir Wizard? They do indeed exist. My familiar is both Weir Wizard and Alpha by design. The Weir Wizard are natural crystal gazers and entheogen users. When developed into Alpha through diet and training, they are the deadliest of killers. They are seemingly telepathic and can kill a man in seconds or leave him to bleed to death without realizing he has even been wounded.

In the wild, weir wizard are timid and fulfill the function of a tribal shaman, directing the tribe by subtle gesture. If an Alpha reacts, the tribe reacts in an agitated way and tends to be nervous and unstable. The stronger the Weir, the calmer the tribe. They react and move gently from danger and towards abundance. Tribes thrive by the weir. The Weir are NEVER Alpha in the wild but are revered as highly as the Alpha. Forcing the combination requires breeding, diet, and training.

It is interesting that the range where civilization arises…where the occult does as well…where THE THREE - magic, magick, and Majik, dawn in man is throughout the region were mankind worship the Weir ~ from the Middle East down through Southeast Asia and southward past Japan.

If you want an example of a wizard to wrap your head about the concept, the best in recent times was Salvador Dali. Though it is not widely acknowledged, it is very clear from his own writings...and if you eyes to see, from his work. Even some of his public events, like insisting on sitting on the rhinno on the Tonight Show was consciously meant to be a collective subconscious sculpture in the minds of a generation. He said of his mustache that it empowered him by suspending him from heaven. He sometimes walked about with crutches at home…because it regally propped him up like a monarchy. He had very beautiful and original rituals he performed before beginning to paint. Oh, and unlike Merlin, he bathed.

There in lies the problem...which definition. One goes back to northern Europe...but it has its roots in one that is Arabic. And that one is based on some very basic prehistoric eastern concepts. What is a philosopher? In the west it has come to mean something quite different than what it did in the east. Do you know the difference between philosophy and dialectics related to philosophy? That gets to the root of the problem addressing this issue in the western conception.

A Mahatma is a wizard. He sits beside the fountain drinking his fine wines…he dines with royalty…he beds the best…he does all with such grace and perfection that he is BUDDHA and impacts thousands of years. This is because he loves the purest form of all things in mind. In the east this is wizard. This is philosophy. In the west philosophy is watching that BUDDHA freight train leave a whoosh in the tracks of time and then discussing it to tears when, “what the fuck was that”, would have sufficed ~ dialectics.
