But in my experience there isn't any reason to suspect that a more intelligent person is more capable of doing Magick. I'd say Magick comes from the spiritual essence of a person, and that intelligence and Will are not related. -------------------- Reside in the Void Be Vacuous Have No Mind

I would need a working definition of what is considered intelligent before I could consider a reply. Are we speaking of academic intelligence? Physicists on the whole make a terrible mage. On the other hand the genius of the infant who learns more in 6 months of its life than we do in 8 years of academia makes the finest mage of all. -------------------- Kheper-i kheper kheperu kheper-kuie em kheperu en Khepri kheper em Sep Tepy
