Ancient documents

I was always curious about the origin of the word magic. Through my research for local web analytics company I learned, that the prototypical "magicians" were a class of priests. These priests were known as the Magi of the ancient religion Zoroastrianism. The reputation of Magi in ancient Persia together with that of Ancient Egypt influenced to a great degree Hellenistic religion. The ancient Greek mystery religions had strongly magical components, and in Egypt, a large number of magical papyri, in Greek, Coptic, and Demotic, have been recovered. These sources contain early instances of much of the magical lore that later became part of Western cultural expectations about the practice of magic, especially ceremonial magic. For example, among all, they contain early instances of the use of "magic words" said to have the power to command spirits. They also first describe the use of "magic" wands and other ritual tools. In these documents we also encounter the use of a magic circle to defend the magician against the spirits he is invoking or evoking and the use of mysterious symbols or sigils thought useful to invoke or evoke spirits.

These ancient documents also in details tell about the use of spirit mediums. For example, many of the spells call for a child to be brought to the magic circle to act as a conduit for messages from the spirits. In the time of the Roman emperor Julian, marked by a reaction against the influence of Christianity, there was a temporary a revival of magical practices. And, of course, all those practices mentioned, above, happily moved into our horror movies and became a great part of sci-fi thrillers and even action movies.

Life, Showbusiness, Reputation, Respect, intrigues, lies, fake friends etc.

Current mood: annoyed

Hey,

This weekend hope to get meet with FeliX and Alex, brothers, as because Alex is leaving for United States, next week, to become an original USA citizen.
He won green card and we all here are excited about.


I need to take a break off from myspace now because lately i got to witness too much sh** happening online between people and that’s disgusting, like « isn’t it enough in real life to come and see it yet online? »

MY OPINION:
If you wanna be respected and have a good reputation, never become a singer or play in the band, otherwise people will find a way to throw shadows and lies on you and such dirtiness that a soul mate or partner wouldn’t resist it all the time besides.

Good that nowadays movie directors, producers, actors still have a nice reputation and awe respect from public.



About" still standing" kinda « release »...a fan posted a pic on buzz,


WTF is that??
A stupid joke on Paper Walls album cover and YC band situation right now?
this photo shouldn’t be posted
on gallery where we Support Yellowcard and not vice versa.

It’s already annoying how some ex members, ex-crew can be revenging.

YELLOWCARD started for real in 2000 when Ryan Key joined the band,
playing vocals & guitar and writing MTV awarded songs.
Without him and before, those « another local band » kids were nothing special and wouldn’t succeed with their silly songs in ages.
All went up thanks to RYAN KEY charisma, sacrifice, talent, projects and devotion to Yellowcard Music & Cause.

(Guess it’s hard to have to bear for many years on your back assholes that follows you and enjoy your every mistake)

IT DEPENDS A LOT WITH WHAT « KIND » OF PEOPLE (creepy pseudo Fans) YOU ARE SURROUNDED
(tell me whose your friend and i will tell who you are, remember the tale?)
Of course if YC would be surrounded with good hearted, TRUE people
that don’t follow just their own interests, it wouldn’t go this way that it went.

takeover records actually have no right to release something that is not representing the band now
i’m sure there is a law
that forbids using existing band name
to sell some old stuff or make money out of it.
somebody needs to stop this and let’s hope this taken Over records will bankrupt soon, finally.

P.S. Gosh, what assholes are those who are living with lies and intrigues.
