What does the the Bible say?

Wizards are mentioned in the Bible, which forbids placing one's trust in their supernatural tricks. The wizards of Persia received gifts from daevas (fallen angels before their conversion to !oroastrianism, and the remaining unconverted wizards of the "evant do not seem to have been ver# impressive. The# are lumped in with snake charmers in $euteronom# %&'%% and with fortune tellers and 'diviners' of stolen goods in "eviticus %(')%. *nglish versions of the Bible have translated 'lasseirim' (daemons, half+human children of the fallen angels as 'wizards' in "eviticus %,',, and 'mekasefa' (sorcerer as 'witch' in *-odus ..'%&. The former translation is the kind of slander used to foment genocides b# impl#ing that the intended targets are not human. The latter translation is appropriate enough, since the word 'witch' (never used in the "evant is derived from the *uskaric term for 'shape shifter', and shape shifting (whatever it is definitel# falls under the categor# of sorcer#. /owever, it must be remembered that throughout histor# man# so+called 'witches' have been 0ust medical practitioners unlicensed b# the wizardr# of the north, and have not been sorcerers at all. The word 'wizard' is definitel# in the Bible. 1t comes from the same root word as '#iddeoni', the 'wise or knowing ones', also called 'kenning men' and 'kenning women'. 1n the "evant at the time of 2oses these people were clearl# no more than tricksters, and if their tricks were real the# used familiar spirits (daevas or daemons , which is outright sorcer#. The Pharaoh's magicians in *-odus were using familiar spirits. But there was nothing wrong with being a magician. 2agic was the science of magi, and the converted e-+wizards who became !oroastrians were permitted to remain magi until the advent of 3hristianit#, even though sorcer# was forbidden to them. The wizards of northern *urope were 3haldees who came to the realization that their religion was not the right one, for in ), 4.$. the# converted en masse b# order of the high council, and ever# wizard from that central international bod# down to the local village wise man converted to 3hristianit#, along with all the congregations. 1t was as if the 3atholic 3hurch suddenl# decided, b# order of the Pope and his 3ardinals, that it would disband, and 3atholics converted to a new religion. 1t was that big a change. 2an# !oroastrian magi were deepl# involved in the new religion, and worked

with the e-+wizards of the north to assist its establishment. 1n the earl# da#s of the 3hurch, these missionaries were involved with the north 4frican tabernacle founded b# 5t. 2ark. 5ome of them had not completel# converted. 6ne of the 7ag /ammadi te-ts ('Trimorphic Protennoia' was written b# someone who was still a worshipper of 1nanna, a 2ember of the /eavenl# /ost whom the wizards had worshipped. 4nother te-t ('!ostrianos' was clearl# !oroastrian in those formative #ears. 4nd in 1tal# as former wizards 0oined the 8oman tabernacle, compromises were made with 1nanna worship, but it is important to note that 1nanna had en0o#ed a high status among the /eavenl# /ost. 1t is important to note also that the !oroastrian deit# 4hura 2azda is ver# likel# the patriarchal 4rch+$eit# 4n presiding over /is two 5ons *l and *a (4hura 2ithra and 4hura 9aruna . 5imilarl# in 1ndia 4n corresponds to Brahma presiding over 9ishnu and 5hiva. 4fter ), 4.$. there was no wizardr# in the north. 1t ceased to e-ist, and its former members obliterated all records through which it could be revived. The medieval alchemists who sought the Philosophers' 5tone were obviousl# not true wizards of the north, since the organization no longer e-isted. The# were seeking the recipe for 'starfire', a form of gold which the# believed could transform and illuminate the mortal bod#. 4ll records of the recipe had been destro#ed with the dissolution of the northern wizardr#. 1t had been a massive institution founded for the specific purpose of controlling e-cesses and retaining humilit#, and the ambitions of the alchemists were against ever#thing it had sought to uphold. 5eeking for one's own gain had been forbidden :and (for the record fortune telling as well. The northern wizardr# had been ver# strict. 4nd after conversion to 3hristianit# astrolog# also had been forbidden. The alchemists broke all of these rules. 2an# of the alchemists did far more than this, however. The# were 6impires, notorious for drinking the blood of 'dragon princesses' in order to attain immortalit#. 1n defiance of the 6impires, 3hristians declare that onl# through the sacrifice of ;esus can we be granted immortalit#, and this onl# b# /eavenl# grace. 1t is not to be attained b# ourselves. Thus the 3hristian *ucharist is a statement against 6impirism, with the blood of 3hrist replacing the blood of 'dragon princesses'. 4nd similarl# the bod# of 3hrist replaces starfire, which is wh# the priest performing the ceremon# states <and for us, this shall be the bread of life<. 4fter ), 4.$. man# former wizards entered the fledgling 3hurch and became monks. The# and the people to whom the# ministered continued to teach the

sage advice on secular matters for which the northern wizards had become famous, and the descendants of their congregations still bring up children with this advice. 1t has brought these descendants a strength which seems to be lacking in man# other cultures, and their affection for the sages of the north continues unabated. But an#one who trul# reveres the wizards of the north must be a 3hristian, b# definition. The *lohim are 6ne because of the "ast 3ovenant between *l, =ing of /eaven and *a, our /eavenl# >ather. Thus the ?od of the "ord's Pra#er is *a, but ;esus called in despair to *l upon the 3ross. 4ccording to the "ast 3ovenant, b# the sacrifice of one human being, all of *a's children have a chance to be granted eternal life b# *l. 3hristianit# celebrates the final 3ovenant. The conversion of the northern wizards affirms a condition of the 3ovenant, that humans must not seek immortalit# for themselves, because upon their conversion these wizards destro#ed all records which enabled such a @uest. The 6impires do not want #ou to know that the northern wizardr# ever e-isted, because descendants of its members are true 3hristians who consistentl# oppose ever# kind of empire. 5laves of the 6impires serve their masters in their efforts 'to become free'. The more the# struggle, the more slavishl# the# obe#. /ating their masters, who appear to be 3haldees, the# react with insupportable irritation to an# mention of the northern wizards or upon pro-imit# to their ph#sical t#pe. This is a sure sign of e-posure to 6impires, and cultural aversion is a sign that ancestors were e-posed. 1t is important to remember that an#one who has been e-posed to 6impires has also been through their conditioning process and is doing their bidding. The 6impires themselves are alwa#s protected. Their enemies are the pre#.
