The terms 'Witch' and 'Sorcerer' both boil down to 'magick-users', but witchcraft and sorcery here have been put in two seperate categories. I was just curious as to what you think seperate the two paths, or if there is any seperation at all. This post has been edited by Thorn: Sep 30 2006, 10:04 PM

I think of Sage as MASTERS -- MASTERY. I always think of the sage as a MASTER of the art. By the way, the origin of Sage is Middle English, originally from Old French and Latin... SAPERE , which means "BE WISE" Of course, that's also the definition of WIZZARD... which came from Middle English WISE and ARD Cool.
