THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR OF TWO WORLDS(ANCIENT-TIMES) A STORY ABOUT
BATTLES  AND  SOURCES OF POWER OF WIZARDS HI!  Men here I am again 
trying to explain the continuation and reasons to exist for a war of 
two worlds. The origin of magic and the battles behind the simple 
knowledge OF WHAT I HAVE EXPLAINED BEFORE. In this ¿short story I 
explain the meaning and honor code of a mage, wizard, witch ;etc. I 
will continue with the war before the war of two worlds in another 
occasion but by the moment   I jus to explain some definitions that 
will make a better understanding  of magic. Witches & Warlocks 
(wit-chez and wor-locs) A person believed to practice magic, usually 
black magic. These people are usually mean, ugly and old. They hide in 
dark places such as caves and cast spells of evil upon their victims. 
Warlock is a fantasy name most refer to the meaning to wage or lock 
into battle or war. Witches and warlocks have roamed the earth for 
thousands of years and still widely exist today, though they are masked 
as everyday people. They have jobs and families and look like any 
normal family. But when the night comes they shed their civilian outer 
layer and become spell casting, evil worshipping fiends. In earlier 
days, witches and warlocks were persecuted by the public and burnt at 
the stake. It was believed that if a person could survive after being 
thrown into a body of water, then that person was a witch or warlock 
and was to be executed. As any culture, there are good witches and 
warlocks as well. These good people help society and have even helped 
law enforcement officials to track down murderers though the use of 
meditation and crystal balls. Some of them can see the past, present 
and future and can relay the messages to the proper people. 

For all the sophistication of our high-tech civilization, we're not that
far removed from our ancestors: the nights are still dark, winter is 
still cold and the future is still unknown. And we still turn to magic 
to help us make it through. Part of the explanation is historical. 
Twentieth-century writers such as Gerald Gardner and Aleister Crowley 
brought about a widespread revival of interest in magic and witchcraft. 
Gardner's Witchcraft Today described Wicca as an ancient religion based 
on celebration of the seasons and the lunar cycle ('wicca' is the Old 
English word for a male witch). Wicca is now a fully-fledged neo-pagan 
belief system, with hundreds of thousands of adherents worldwide. 

Crowley revived the word magic, which he used to distinguish authentic
magic from the magic of conjuring tricks. In his Magick in Theory and 
Practice, Crowley wrote: 'The question of Magick is a question of 
discovering and employing hitherto unknown forces in nature.' Magic 
could be both a scientific investigation and a way of getting closer to 
nature. This approach has been hugely influential in the New Age 
movement, which embodies many of the elements of magic. 

But these historical and cultural explanations tell only part of the
story. Our society is pervaded with magical thinking. Every one of the 
main features of the magical worldview finds an echo in our culture: 
From fortune telling to homeopathy, magical thinking is ultimately an 
expression of our desire to have an effect on the world: 'Magick is the 
Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will,' 
Crowley wrote. 

A pessimistic view would be that magical thinking expresses our
powerlessness in the face of a reality too complex for us to change. 
But it is surely also the case that magic expresses our hope for better 
times and our desire for intense, transcendental experience. It also 
answers some very basic fears. Wizards. Our fascination with the 
wizards of Hogwarts echoes the faith we all place in therapists, 
scientists and political analysts. Among users of the Unix computing 
system, expert programmers are even called wizards. Our ancestors 
relied on witches, druids and shamans - people who knew the hidden laws 
of the universe and could say what was around the corner. Maybe we're 
not that different. 

Divination. We may not consult witches but we all read our horoscope.
Not to mention palm-reading, rune stones, the Tarot and the I Ching. Is 
Russell Grant a 21st-century wizard? Trance. It used only to be shamans 
who danced for hours to repetitive beats. It's no accident that 
'trance' is now a musical genre. Some clubbers report experiencing a 
mystical sense of community. Drugs. Some people use chemical substances 
which help them attain altered states of consciousness. Others take 
herbal remedies - or drink herb tea. Both are traditions which go back 
to the secret lore of witches. Ritual. Hundreds of years ago, entire
