The Truth about Magic and of it's Origin, An old thread that lost it's name Options

Some while back I got into a mad frenzy and deleted all my posts...
and with it the title of this thread.
It might be unfair to the others since the thread is not mine alone.
So here I give it back it's original title.

I don't recall what I wrote in the first post. Only that it was the truth about magic and it's origin, haha. (I can't possibly be the only one that has been drunk or drugged while writing posts.)

to me it was magic before it was magick. I also am one who can claim that I deteste the spelling because it attempts to reidentify it. If we all know in our hearts what it was before it was confused with sleight of hand then why must we re-spell or re-label it?

I once heard a tale similar to what thief has said. It is about a group of beings that existed when the universe was young. There were these people called star children who were in fact just that - children. And that's exactly what they did - everything they created and made manifest through their will and desire was an act of play for them. Creating multiple worlds and galaxies and to this effect if they were all destroyed in a day and the children had a whim to do so, they'd create it the following day.

This isn't very different from our current concepts of magic. We still utilize will and desire but maybe some of us are just a bit too serious about it. Maybe we could take a lesson from the carefree nature of the playful acts of the star children.
