Witches and Devils are they really the evil characters or just misunderstood beings? There’s this new book on sale: “the witch of oz”, that explains how the witch of oz is misunderstood; even the StarWars prequels served to explain that Darth Vader isn’t that bad... But I’m not here to defend the dark side J or even any Satan worship of any kind. My question is this; since people are always afraid of what they don’t understand; aren’t witches simply misunderstood characters because they’re in a level above normal people? Aren’t they simply fighting a system using extraordinary knowledge that some of us simply wish to understand through science and machines?
1# you find all those magic potions inside big pots disgusting and horrifying? Analyze what they put in some of the things you use daily and tell me what’s more disgusting: multivitamin formulas usually take fish’s sperm; most of the perfumes are made from the insides of many endangered species; red bull has that name because of something they use from a bulls testicle… and the list could on! Some bat wings and crow’s beaks from the big witch’s pot aren’t that bad after all. The ingredients used may look strange but, after all, they’re no better than the ones of modern science. At least they use only natural sources, not some strange additive nor chemical preservant.
2# magic spells. They whisper some magic words on your ear and then you do whatever they want… NLP have you ever heard about it? We only start to understand this amazing tool only used up until now by hypnotists and some psychologists. Neuro-Linguistic Programming is based on the idea that the human mind is a sort of computer - our verbal and body language are the programmes which allow us to change our own thoughts and influence other people e.g. using body language and speech patterns to create instant rapport with someone else. We already use such techniques on a sub-conscious level - NLP simply helps us crystalize what we already know.
3# supernatural abilities. Invulnerability, strength, speed… some of these things are all basis of proper knowledge of the human body and perfected skills. Watch any Shaolin Monks demonstration and you’ll understand how most of the limits of the human body are far beyond what you might believe. Given the proper knowledge and training your body can become harder, stronger and faster than you might expect. Ninjas also we’re said to be magical, just because they could appear and disappear out of nowhere and kill with amazing speed. Today we know they’re not magical but they have a rigorous training method to achieve amazing balance and stealth, they understand human anatomy and human weak points. Not magic just the right knowledge.
Well there are many more aspects, but you get the picture; I’ll explore this in later posts.
