| Article 04-Magic | ||
| Canon 3442 | ||
| Magic is a term defining a wide variety of knowledge, rituals and practices whereby it is claimed a competent practitioner may alter Form or Events by supernatural or occult means. | ||
 |
||
| Canon 3443 | ||
| The terms Sorcery, Occultism, Wicca, Wizardry, Witchcraft and Theurgy are equivalent to the term Magic. However, the term Necromancy is a form of Magic literature, belief and ceremony and therefore a sub-set of magic. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3444 | ||
| By definition, there are two main forms of Magic: (1) Magic based on exploiting the ignorance of believers and followers and (2) Magic based on deep occult knowledge and genuine skill. The most common magic is magic based in ignorance, or trick or “illusionary magic”. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3445 | ||
| Trick or Illusionary Magic is founded on manipulating the minds of the living or deceased involved in the ceremony that some kind of supernatural powers are possessed by the practitioner(s) through knowledge of ceremony, dress, procedure and the demonstration of tricks of misdirection and sensory deprivation or distortion. Hence, apart from ignorance, the most important ingredient to successful trick or illusionary magic is Belief. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3446 | ||
| Deep Occult or Wisdom Magic is founded on the possession of superior knowledge, connected to Natural Law and Divine Law and does not require tricks, misdirection and sensory deprivation or distortion. Belief is not a key ingredient to Deep Occult or Wisdom Magic. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3447 | ||
| Trick or Illusionary Magic uses a wide variety of manipulations and frauds to convince an audience of its authenticity, from natural skills of hypnosis, alteration of mind state, auto-suggestion, implanted memory work, sensory deprivation as well as time honored tricks such as smoke, fire, tricks of light, drugs, chemical reactions and the use of tools and animals for magic. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3448 | ||
| Most Magic is based on trick or illusionary magic. All Trick or Illusionary Magic is based on defrauding and tricking the audience of living or deceased minds. Whilst it is less powerful than deep occult and wisdom magic, the power of belief and consequential effects upon convinced minds is stronger. Therefore, while trick and illusionary magic is without any valid spiritual basis, it is the stronger of the two forms of magic because of the theatrical effect of a powerful magic demonstration. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3449 | ||
| All Magic known as Sorcery, Occultism, Wicca, Wizardry, Witchcraft, especially Black Magic, Necromancy and ceremony derived from Grimoires is trick or illusionary magic, requiring a high level of ignorance and belief. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3450 | ||
| Knowledge and reason are the enemies of trick and illusionary magic. All Religions and Cults include aspects of magic within their rituals and beliefs. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3451 | ||
| The origin of the term “Magic” is derived from the term “Magi” being the priests of Zoroastrianism of Persia. However, the creation of the word “Magic” from Magi should not be assumed as attributing the origin of magic to Zoroastrianism, but a deliberate and misleading historical misdirection to depreciate their knowledge and behaviour to mere “trick magic” rather than ancient magic practices. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3452 | ||
| The oldest practicioners of trick and illusionary magic are the priests of Ur, later the Amorties and Akkadians, then the Ur-Ga-Rit and Tar-Sur (Tarsus) and then Ur-Sur-Lim (Jerusalem). | ||
|
||
| Canon 3453 | ||
| The oldest practitioners and master of deep occult and knowledge magic are the Cuilliaéan, also known as the Holly, also known as the Holy, also known as the Serpents, also known as the Hyksos and the Davids, later corrupted to Druvid and Druids. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3454 | ||
| By definition, the most powerful collection of occult and magic wisdom in history is the laws, covenants, charters and texts of Ucadia. No magic is more powerful. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3455 | ||
| When speaking of “Magic”, “Highest Magic” or “Real Magic” it shall mean the laws, covenants, charters and texts of Ucadia and no other. | ||
|
||
| Canon 3456 | ||
| Any curse, spell or invocation issued against these canons, or any text of Ucadia is by definition lesser magic than Ucadia and so by definition has no effect, with the person or persons issuing such a curse, spell of invocation immediately liable to receive the full force of such ill intent upon themselves and their agents. | ||
