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.)

Magic has been around as long as humans have gathered together in groups or societies. Used by practiotioners to either to heal, conquer or to control events going on around them. Magic is the doing of something unseen and unexplainable which does not fit into our concept of the way of things. The real question is, does it really work, from my point of view it does.
For most people though the tendency is to dismiss what is not proven or cannot be seen, strange when one considers that we use ielectricity every day. This is accepted as existing despite us not being able to see it.
While in the forces I was on a short tour of an African country. I had some free time and took the opportunity to visit the local Shaman. I saw him do things which were unexplainable (and without the gadgets and special effects of a Mr Copperfield), more importantly I could feel the flow of energy.
To know and understand magic you must have an open mind, the will to work and study hard combined with a hunger for knowledge. In short don't knock it 'till you've tried it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wizard.gif)
