What Is Wizard Magic?

A modern day fictitious wizard is Harry Potter, the creation of the best selling author, J.K. Rowling. (Ms. Rowling is one of my personal heroes because she single handedly made it “cool” for kids to read.) What exciting books she has written! Witches and Wizards, magic wands and Hogwarts!

These best selling books have been made into wildly popular movies that have made (and continue to make) millions of dollars. The seemingly endless interest all goes to prove how fascinated the world is with the possibilities of the supernatural.

Way back in recorded history Magic, supernatural magic, the kind you read about in Fairy Tales, was another name for the art of sorcery. And Sorcery was the art of getting what you wanted through supernatural means.

These means could include, acting out the hoped for result, casting spells, chanting and combining, supposedly powerful ingredients like eye of newt, with the spells and chants.
Magicians or sorcerers were thought to be able to control natural forces like lightening, rain and thunder, by use of supernatural powers. Magic was part of many religious rituals and celebrations.

Its worshipers believing their gods would grant good harvests, health and success. King’s often employed personal magicians, who were supposed to be able gain favor with the gods and guarantee victory of all kinds, over enemies, famine, and disease.

Merlin, the wizard featured in the King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table Tales, was such a magician.

Tom Cross describes a Wizard as one who understands and seeks to protect nature; both his or her own Nature, and the Nature of the whole Universe. The abilities of a Wizard come from the rhythms of Nature, centered around the axis mundi.

Magic…performed by modern day magicians continues to draw crowds where ever it is performed. Like the wizards…magicians make their own magic.
