Black magic, White magic!!!
There are two ways to look at magic, one is mythological and the other is cultural that depends on who is peeking into the mystical and forbidden knowledge. The long hidden secrets known only by very few who dared gazing into the deep dark crypt within their haunted souls, craving for power to control their fellow man confiscating his freedom and extraditing his soul to the Devil.
The aim behind this introduction is an attempt to relate events and records from the past with what became a cause to what affected our human existence on this planet.
Our reader will eventually reach to a conclusion that everything from the past is related to whatever the future conceives.
I personally trace back mythology, spirituality, faith and culture to the ancient book of Enoch which I regard to be the primary reference of all events that took place from henceforth…
There in the book of Enoch one will find references to what became the art of magic, mythology, legends, spirituality and much more…
I also believe that the author of the book of Enoch is that same famous author of the Emerald Tablets who is Thoth, Enoch, or Idris nicknamed Al Khodor (the green man), who is also known by many other names in every ancient culture ever existed…
What is magic, where did it originate from and when, these legitimate questions are what we aim to find answers to in this article.
Most of us are aware of the existence of Magic, but very few of us know the details we are about to unveil in what we hope will be an illumination to our reader’s minds and food for their thoughts…
Magic is as ancient and old as humanity; it dates back to Sumeria and afterwards Babylonia, in fact the earliest record that can be tracked historically goes back to 26th c. BC from North Syria and it contains nine incantations written by the first named author in history, Ur-Gibil, who was also a scribe, he personally wrote and signed the text himself. This makes it one of the earliest if not the earliest magical literary manuscripts written signed and autographed ever known to us.
Having mentioned that, one needs to know that there is over 800 magical manuscripts from all continents with a time span of over 4,500 years ago.
The magical collection consists of 654 incantation bowls and jugs from Near East, dated between 5th and 7th c. AD. Most of it is bowls with writing inside it in ancient Aramaic and Hebrew which is protection incantations against demons, with about 200 quotes from the Bible in Hebrew. Some over 90 of these are not found on the Dead Sea Scrolls, which makes them even earlier from the original text of the Old Testament.
The bowls are regarded to be Sassanian as well as Jewish heritage and a witness to the Masoretic foundation period of the Hebrew Bible. It also has examples of HECHALOT or Jewish mystical texts, as well as part of the Shema prayer or extracts from the MISHNA. There is also named Jewish rabbis, demons and information about Jewish legal practice.
Most of the scribes recorded were of Jewish origin while most of the clients were Persians, since greater Mesopotamia was part of the huge Sassanian Empire. Most of the 2,000 incantation bowls known came from Iran and Iraq, including parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey, as well as Egypt, even Uzbekistan on the Empire’s Eastern frontier, attesting to the vast geographical extent of both the Sassanian Empire and the incantation texts.
Ancient Mesopotamian sorcery and magic consisted of two types: prophylactic or therapeutic magic, the prophylactic was mainly for protection against evil and demons while the other was to heal from all sorts of illness which was considered by the ancients as of demonic origin. What is fascinating in this subject is the fact that by observing the modern practice of sorcery and witchcraft in that same region (near the Middle East) one cannot help but notice a remarkable similarity and resemblance to the ancient practice of ancient Mesopotamia. For example: fluid was and still is regarded as one of the major tools used to enchant or cast any type of magical spell on a victim in both forms of ancient and modern practice of magic, by obtaining a fluid generated from the body of a specific target, being a semen or a sweat, scent, blood not forgetting hair. Any DNA carrier of that specific target would be applicable against him since it would be tied with him even when separated; these were referred to as the KA compounds.
There was a belief that if one places semen of a dead man in his grave beside him and cast specific spell one would control that dead man’s spirit even after his death.
Another method of practice was spittle which was regarded as important in ancient sorcery.
It is mentioned in several well known anti-witchcraft texts such as the Maql which hints to spittle as being of important ingredient in practice whether it was the sorcerer’s own or that of a specific victim. Quotes from the text:
lumun ?h nad? ana amli la t.eh? so that the evil of the spat spittle will not approach a man (KAR 72 r. 5, and 11; cf. Or 39:134ff.)
ru-su-?-ki up-??-?u-ki hul.me? la te.me?-ni Your spittle, your evil plans shall not come near me (Maql? III:156-157).
mu?-te-pi?-tu te-pu-??-an-ni…?h.mu il-qu-? The sorceress, who enchanted me…who took my saliva… (Maql? I:130,132)
Although, these examples go back the first millennium, the association of spittle with sorcerers and sorcery is not limited to this period. It is also present in older anti-witchcraft texts.
Spittle is often referred to as venom in ancient cuneiform texts. In fact, it was common to regard witches as manipulative and venomous at the same time which suggests their resembling to snakes which spits venomous poison on its victims.
Therefore, we can conclude that spittle had major applications, one is using the spittle of the sorcerer against a victim and the other is using the spittle of the victim against him/herself…
Another tool was used in magic and that is a description of a victim or a situation in any citation which also suggests the application of psychological effect to influence their victim.
In erotic magic there is usually an invocation of a strange creature said to dwell in Ishtar’s heart, or sometimes in her lap, it has two horns and a tail, and it is role is to influence a woman’s mind about a man and change her feelings towards him, it was called i/ermum, some legends associated with a scorpion.
It’s noticed that magic was a tool to early civilizations to tackle social and health issues whether it was approached by the good and evil concept or the well being of the community.
Magic and religion did stroll steadily side by side since the dawn of civilization, when religion was attributed to a unique act in regards to supernatural’s it was categorized as a miracle, but when it was attributed to magic is was categorized as evil and work of the devil.
Later in time alchemy started replacing magic then science replaced alchemy…
Conclusion: religion, magic, and science are all connected from the point of view of having them all used as instruments of early and modern civilizations to answer questions of the unknown and help bring a better meaning to our existence on earth.

Portraits for Political Figures
March 4, 2012
A magician, mage, sorcerer, sorceress, wizard, enchanter, enchantress, thaumaturge or a person known under one of many other possible terms is someone who uses or practices magic that derives from supernatural or occult sources. Magicians are common figures in works of fantasy, such as fantasy literature and role-playing games; they draw on a history of such people in mythology, legends, and folklore (see Magician (paranormal)). Although occasional practitioners of sleight-of-hand appear in modern fantasy, they are usually simulating the magic that others perform — or sometimes concealing their actual magic. Fantasy magicians have powers arising from either study, innate talent, or by having them granted by another source. (Other fantasy characters can use magic or be magical, but they have generally not acquired their powers by study or innate talent). Still, most fantasy wizards are depicted as having a special gift which sets them apart from the vast majority of characters in fantasy worlds who are unable to learn magic. Magicians, sorcerers, wizards, and practitioners of magic by other titles have appeared in myths, folktales and literature throughout recorded history, and fantasy draws on this background. They commonly appear in fantasy as mentors and villains, as they did in older works, and more recently as heroes themselves. Although they are often portrayed as wielding great powers, their role in shaping the fantasy world they inhabit varies; much of fantasy …
Portrait artists are some of the most award artists that are around today. Some of the certain types of portraits commission with portrait artists are political portraits. In fact there are many famous portrait artists who specialize in on doing certain types of portraits. For portrait artists to be commissioned to do that particular type of art, they would have to be very experienced and come highly recommend by some very influential people.
There are so many more names to choose from, these are just some to show that if you are able to get just one break you too could be painting political portraits and making yourself famous. Some of the well known people that have had paintings completed by portrait artists from American politics are the honorable Ms Hillary Clinton, Lawrence Eagleburger & James A. Baker, the then president Bill Clinton, President Gerald Ford, and the then Secretary of State Colin Powell.
It is said that you can spend days in the building just walking around looking at the portraits of all the past presidents. With so many influential people who have been in the white house, they have dedicated a special room just for portraits; they say that there are several portraits of previous presidents throughout the building and home.
Although presidents and major political people have lots of memories and material things that they can take with them, there is something very special about hand painted family portraits. It doesn’t matter where you move to, or who you are it is very special to have a family heirloom such as a portrait to hand down to your children and eventually your grandchildren. Family portraits can capture what was going on in your life at that time and they have the ability to capture private intimate moments that are kept out of prying eyes. Most of the presidents and their families have had at least two portraits taken and will have the best piece of memorabilia to take with them when they do leave the white house.
Most people take their privacy and freedom for granted, if you are a political figure, as we have all read at one time or another there is no such thing as privacy and there is very little private time that you can share with your family. How nice would that be for political families that get to have very few private moments?

Red has a wide array of creatures which seems as a very fun color to play in M12 limited. Red deals damage – quick and powerfully. If you want to be aggressive this is definitely the color for you. Here for you some important and top sale red cards in magic 2012 M12 core set.
Chandra the Firebrand 3RType: Planeswalker – ChandraP/T: 3Rarity: Mythic RareRules Text: 1: Chandra, the Firebrand deals 1 damage to target creature or player.-2: When you cast you next instant or sorcery spell this turn, copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.-6: Chandra, the Firebrand deals 6 damage to each of up to six target creatures and/or players.
Chandra the Firebrand is cheaper, easier to cast, and yet her abilities are better than other Chandras. She is the first extremely splashable red planeswalker and the first ever to have a single colored mana cost which should be the major difference from other cards. Firebrand only needs 3 colorless and one red. Her +1 ability can deals 1 damage to target player or creature. And her -2 ability is essentially a Twincast, where you can copy your next instant or sorcery.Grim Lavamancer RType: Creature – Human WizardP/T: 1/1Rarity: RareRules Text: {R}, {T}, Exile two cards from your graveyard: Grim Lavamancer deals 2 damage to target creature or player.
As useful as it is Constructed, Grim Lavamancer will be even more powerful in Limited. It’s a fragile creature at 1/1, but for a 1-drop, his effect is pretty good. It costs just one red mana and exiling two cards from your graveyard.
Chandra’s Phoenix 1RRType: Creature – PhoenixP/T: 2/2Rarity: RareRules Text: FlyingHaste (This creature can attack and {T} as soon as it comes under your control.)Whenever an opponent is dealt damage by a red instant or sorcery spell you control or by a red planeswalker you control, return Chandra’s Phoenix from your graveyard to your hand.
It is never too bad to play with 3 mana for a 2/2 flyer with haste. This card is going to be returning to your hand a lot. A 2/2 flier with haste is pretty solid. And it will come back to your hand whenever you deal damage to your opponent with a red sorcery spell or a red planeswalker’s effect. Until then, it’s a nice card that most Red Deck Wins players don’t run only because they just have better ammunition available to them currently in Standard.
Inferno Titan 4RRType: Creature – Giant P/T: 6/6 Rules Text: {R:} Inferno Titan gets 1/ 0 until end of turn.Whenever Inferno Titan enters the battlefield or attacks, it deals 3 damage divided as you choose among one, two, or three target creatures and/or players.
Inferno Titan is an extremely powerful card. This card can pretty much finish the game in mono-red decks, and plenty of decks, including Splinter Twin have utilized him quite effectively. Inferno Titan will be a very valuable card to have in your deck and your collection.
Furyborn Hellkite 4RRR Type: Creature – DragonP/T: 6/6Rarity: Mythic Rules Text: Bloodthirst 6 (If an opponent was dealt damage this turn, this creature enters the battlefield with six 1/ 1 counters on it.)Flying
Maybe seven mana is a bit high, but if for a 6/6 flier in itself isn’t too bad. You have a 12/12 flyer absolutely ready to pounce while Chandra just pokes your opponent for one damage. It is certainly a card that casual and Commander Players will greatly enjoy.

Magic Spells – How To Prepare To Maximise Success
January 28, 2012
A video covering the basics of an Esbat, a meeting which is often performed on the full moon, but can be under other moon phases too. Music: Energize! by John Richardson.
Article by Crystal Whitestone
Casting magic spells spells is not just about chanting incantations and waiting for the outcome. For some people casting spells is a part of their religious belief. A magic spell could be the equivalent of a prayer. Casting spells is a deliberate and intentional use of the universe’s power that already exists around and within us all.
There are strict guidelines to follow when you are casting magic spells. Wiccans would follow the “The Wiccan Rede” which states that “do what ye will, harm ye none”. Wiccans can perform rituals and spells but any effects or consequences should be recognized first, and no harmful or ill effects should be intended or desired. Spell-casting should not be used for anger, revenge, jealousy or other evil thoughts.
Some spells can be changed or altered to suit the specific needs of you, the individual spell-caster. There are other spells which require the spell-caster to follow the spell to the letter, using the same exact words. Some people say that spells which are peroformed using the spell-caster’s own words are more pure and powerful because of it.
When you are casting spells, you can also use different tools or methods. These tools contain the energy which can be used to represent your desires and goals, and help you direct and aim your own energies. There are different kinds of tools such as oils, candles, cards, stones, runes, etc. Most of the time the object used is something personal to you associated with the aim of the spell you’re casting.
The location you perform the spell is also important. Wiccans believe that we are one with nature – some spells may require you to be in natural surroundings, however, spell casting can also be done indoors. Many Wicca followers practice their magic secretly, not only to avoid public persecution but to help remove distractions and wasted energy.
When performing a magic spell, it is vital to keep in mind that you are using your own energy and directing it with the help of the powerful universal forces to achieve a desired outcome. The universe is full of energy, therefore there could be negative energy which may interfere with your positive energy. Practicing magic privately helps ensure that your energy and your spells are not disturbed.
Another common problem is timing. Some magic spells may require that they are performed at a specific time, or over a specific time period. But adapting to time constraints can be hard. Fortunately there are some expert witches and wizards who would say that performing spells under a full moon, for example, is not that important. While it can increase the potency of the spell, it is your intentions which are more important to success.
