Power Of Magic

Many people consider magic to be a fanciful notion while others believe strongly in the unexplained. Can words cast spells over people? Is it possible to determine the outcome of an event with an incantation? In this article, we'll go back in time to examine mysticism and the role it plays in a modern world.

The earliest signs of practical magic are found in the history of ancient Egypt. A 'magician' during that age was a class of priest or 'magi'. A large number of Egyptian magical papyri in Greek, Coptic and Demotic have been recovered. They contain early examples of the use of "magic words", believed to have had the power to command spirits, as well as the use of wands and other tools.

Practitioners of illusion believe that it works in a variety of ways but is based in natural forces. These magical forces are said to exist alongside the four fundamental forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and the weak force.

These believers are said to manipulate the elements using symbols and other objects. Symbols are believed to magically take on a physical quality of the phenomenon or object that they represent. By manipulating symbols, users can manipulate a target.

Concentration or meditation can be a source of magical powers. Renowned writer and mystic Aleister Crowley believes that focusing on an imagined object produces mystical attainment. Others believe that the subconscious can contact spirits who can fulfill the wishes of the individual. Forms of this type of magic are still used in modern societies.

For example, a runner about to compete in a race will visualize crossing the finish line in victory. Or, an addict will find the road to sobriety by picturing a happy and productive life. The single element that magic and prayer share is roots in religion. Both magic and prayer involves worship and possibly sacrifice to a supernatural being or god.

This divine being is then expected to act in favor of the individual praying. However, prayer requires the approval of a god. Magic does not require this kind of consent. A master magician can achieve his desire by performing a ritual or controlling spiritual beings addressed by his spells.

Mysticism may have taken a backseat to science, but the magic of the unknown continues to be a part of our society. It's easy to think that magic is nothing more than the musings of primitive peoples, but we must ask ourselves why some individuals cling to these beliefs. Is it possible to commune with the gods via prayer and rituals? Consider this - countless people are afraid of black magic. Why would they experience fear if history didn't show that there was something of which to be afraid?
