TOMAR
Tomar
was ( perhaps it still is ) the home of the Knights Templar. The
history of the Knights Templar, as well as their current activities, is
well worth a magician's time and effort to look into. The picture
will link you to the website tour of the Magic Castle in Los Angeles ---
considered by many current magicians to be the home of modern magic.
THE
MOST MAGICAL PLACE ON EARTH...
Frank Morgan ( The Great and Powerful
OZ )
The
Wizard was, in my opinion, the closest portrayal to a true magician to
ever appear on film. Certainly, as a model of magical existence,
The Wizard, as well as Morgan's portrayal of the character, should be studied
closely by all aspiring magicians. In keeping with the aspect of
The Wizard's duality of being, I have linked his picture with a website
offering their continuously updated collection of spirits and hauntings.
VARDO
... the wizard's strategic presence
The Gypsy Vardo symbolizes a life of transcience,
and suggests the presence of the powers of precognition, and non-traditional
knowledge and affective arts. To this picture I have linked the website
of Vanteen, whose story of a life as a circus magician is a must
read, while it is available.
OZ ...
... to this picture of The Wizard, I have linked
what seems to be the foremost performance venue in the current magical
experience -- Caesar's Magical Empire Tour.
The HAND and MIND ... exposing
Primal Perception, after all, this is ultimately the reason that anyone
pursues the study, and practise of magic. The picture of the Tarot
Card will link you to that portion of my Grymoire that I've allowed to
be released. You will find a couple of tricks explained there for
your approval. From time to time I might add another trick, or two
if anyone shows interest.
GEOMETRIES ... the Power of Myth provides one of the strongest catalists
for change to ever be experienced. Sometimes events, and constructs
are not entirely within our ability to be fully aware of them until pointed
out... such as the Masonic Capstone located in the main concourse of the
New Denver Airport ( pictured above ). There is, also, much more
to that airport than meets the eye. The picture, however, is linked
to the website of the ICBM -- a collection of magi, who appear to present
a full range of magical experience.
"When the iron bird flies
and
horses run on wheels,
the Tibetan
people will
be
scattered like ants
across the
world and
the Dharma
will come to
the land of the Red Man."
- Padmasambhava (8th century)
