    MAGIC: late Middle English (also in the sense ): from Old French , from Latin (adjective), late Latin (noun), from Greek ): magi were regarded as magicians. The term "magic" etymologically derives from the Greek word (μαγεία). In ancient times, Greeks and Persians had been at war for centuries, (THE PERSIANS WERE ANCIENT AFRICANS KNOWN AS THE MOORS CALLED 'PERSIAN' CAUSE THEY DWELLED IN PERSIA) and the Persian priests, called in Persian, came to be known as in Greek. Ritual acts of Persian priests came to be known as , and then -which eventually came to mean any foreign, unorthodox, or illegitimate ritual practice. To the general public, successful acts of illusion could be perceived as if it were similar to a feat of magic supposed to have been able to be performed by the ancient magoi. The performance of tricks of illusion, or magical illusion, and the apparent workings and effects of such acts have often been referred to as "magic" and particularly as magic tricks.
    MAGUS/MAGI: a member of a priestly caste of ancient Persia. See also Magi.

    Similarly, the Lakota language (a Siouan language of the northern great plains of North America) has the word "wakan" which is variously translated as "medicine," "holy," or (potentally) "magic." All of these concepts carry connotations of mystery, as holy beings are mysterious ("Wakan Tanka," the Great Mystery of Lakota religion and roughly akin to an overarching deity, is sometimes translated as "Great Spirit" with "tanka" being a common word to indicate large size or otherwise greatness), or disease and healing is mysterious for pre-industrial or pre-scientific societies. "Mni wakan" (alcohol) is "water" that has mysterious effects. I have to assume that any resemblance to the various "weik" derivatives in European languages is entirely coincidental, at least until linguists/etymologists find a way to trace back further than Proto-Indo-European to connect it with the languages of Native Americans.

    • @patrichausammann
      @patrichausammann 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      "Waka" might come from the "rain maker" or "rain god" (> deity), then rain is "water from heaven", so it might be "holy" but also mysterious or magic. I would guess, that "Tanka" might have an Asiatic influence. Maybe from the Japanese language. Because in Japanese "Tanka" is a form of ancient short poem. So we would get "mysterious poem"(>story) or "holy story" from "Wakan Tanka". And we shouldn't forget that knowledge in the past has been passed on in a poetic oral form!😉
      "Mni" might be related to "Mizu", which means "water" in Japanese. Actually it looks to me like a mixture of Japanese, Hawaiian, Maori and Samoan (Mizuka waiwaivai >> Mni). Maybe they have a connection to the German word "Wasser" (>vasɐ) too. And it might be possible, that the west Germanic word "watar", was probably "transformed" to the English word "water". If we have a look at Indonesian, we can see that the expression for water made a circle, from our "English" point of view. And it seems funny, that Indonesia is diagonal on the other side of Eurasia, viewed from England. And now guess what. It is the exact opposit (> contra element) of the English expression, then "water"(Engl.) is called "air" in Indonesia.😉 And to be honest, it seems really strange that the term for "water" is "udara", in Indonesian (udara >> 1.u >v>W, 2. d > ß, 3. a, 4. r, 5. a >e >> 1, 3, 2, 5, 4>>> "Waßer"(Ger.) "Wasser" (Sui. Ger.) water(Engl.)). It looks to me that some people had a lot of time and fun, to shuffle the things(>words) up. But hey, I am only a hobby linguist.😉
      Another strange point is that a tribe of the Lakota is called "Teton", which reminds me very much to the ancient Nordic people in the region of "Jutland", and around Danemark. But they had also connections to the "Blackforest in Germany and the source region of the Danube river.😉 They were called "Teutons" (Engl. with "-s" as a indicator for a plural), "Teutoni" (Ital. with "-i" as an indicator for a plural) and in German "Teutonen" (also with "-nen" as an indicator for a plural). But a part of their homeland sank and they had to leave😔.
      Here I translated a part of a German Wikipedia article to English:
      "Thiuda (Þiuda) is the earliest surviving lexeme in a Germanic language, in the Gothic language, meaning "people".
      The * þeudō, which was reconstructed for the Germanic language, forms the linguistic basis for the etymology of the term German and emerges as a word element in the field of onomastics." (Source: Wikipedia de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiuda)
      Have also a look at the Túatha Dé Danann in Ireland and the "Isla of Mann"😉/Isle of Man or simply "Mannin".
      As I mentioned in another post, J. J. R. Tolkien already knew the answers, and I think I know them too.😊

Naturally there are false friends and some changes which are based on historic divergences, but when I realize how to interprete with my system I was really astound that I understand many words.
      What amazed me most was that when I saw a documentary about American natives, I understood practically everything, and that before the actual translation was told.
      Since I taught myself the Cyrillic alphabet, I now often understand Russian words.
      I mean look at the example of the word "water" in Russian or German. In Russian it is "вода" (> voda), pronounced "vada" and then you look at "water" in English. Or in German it is "Waßer" or "Wasser".
      I mean, there isn't much of a difference in Italian either, since it's called "aqua" there.
      Maybe you ask now why. Look at "voda" (pron. "vada"). Just two simple adaptions and you see what I mean. You just have to invert the "d" to a "q" and change the "v" to "u" and then rearrange the letters.
      Actually it does not surprise me at all. It just remembers me to "one ring to rule them all". This ring has to be uncovered, that its power fade away. I want the world to become a better place, but to achieve this we have to disclose that our "mighty leaders" don't want our best. They want to play us off against each other to gain even more power and wealth.
      Some teachers told me that I could never show the connections between the different languages, ​​and that languages ​​have absolutely nothing to do with mathematics. However, I disagreed and the older I got, the more convinced I am that I was right as a little lad.

    The Magi would light their fires, chant their mantras and make their offerings to their God “Ahura Mazda”. They were the old world order, priests of Zarathustra, teachers of Avesta, and as Brahmans were to India and the Druids to Europe, so were the Magi to its capital Iran and the surrounding areas of what came to be known as Persia.
    ~
    “Magi” means “priest” its source is the Sanskrit “maga” meaning “priest of the Sun” which then becomes the European words “magic” and “magician”. Zarathustra was their prophet, born into a family of animal traders, his name has been said to mean “one whose camels are old” the “ustra” from the Sanskrit “ustra” meaning “camel” and “zara” seems to come from the Sanskrit “jara” meaning “old” the same “jara” which becomes the European “geriatrics” and “gerentology".
    ~
    Their object of worship, their supreme deity was Ahura Mazda, the “ahura” being the Sanskrit “asura” meaning “divine” from the root “asu” meaning “spirit” and the word “mazda” is the Sanskrit “medha” meaning “wisdom" his name meaning “divine wisdom”. Their beginnings are said to go back some 3,500 - 6000 years and the names for their God, their prophet and their priests are all Sanskrit.
    ~
    In his book “the science of language” Professor Max Muller writes “ It was more faithfully preserved by the Zoroastrians who migrated from India to the northwest and whose religion has been preserved to us in the Zind Avesta, though in fragments only. The Zoroastrians were a colony from northern India ”. The wisdom of the Magi was once a vast library of knowledge known as “Avesta” their language was called “Avestan” a dialect of the ancient Sanskrit language.
    ~
    Iran was originally called "Aryan" its citizens were originally known as "Aryans" they were the centre of Avestan culture. “Arya” meaning “nobel” describes the character of a person and has no relation to skin colour nor geographical locations, its emphasis reflects the cultivation of spiritual knowledge. This was emphasised by Lord Krsna some 5000 years ago where he accuses Arjunas decision not to fight, as non Aryan, as indicated by the word “anarya”.

    “ The Supreme Person ( Bhagavan ) said, My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you ? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the progressive values of life, they do not lead to higher planets, but to infamy.” Gita 2.2
    ~
    The etymology of “Arya” is “ar” meaning “to move” and “ya” meaning “advance” as in that which “moves (ar) in order to advance (ya)”. The dictionary defines “Arya” as “noble” “leader” “kind” “polite” “honourable” “wise” “master” “gentleman” and one who “behaves like an Aryan”. The land which became known as Persia was once “Aryan” and the scriptures known as “Avesta” reflect this in their hymns.

    “Bagastan” known today as ( Behistoon ) is an ancient city of Iran, its name is the Sanskrit “bhaga” meaning “God” and the Sanskrit “sthana” meaning “land” as in “the land of God”. We see the same in the capital of Iraq known as “Bhagdad” the “bhag” being the Sanskrit “bhaga” meaning “God” and “dad” being the Sanskrit “dada” and “dadati” meaning “gift” as in “gift of God”. Upon the cliff face of Bagastan in Iran we find written the following words.
    ~
    " I am Darius the great King, King of Kings, King of many countries and many people, King of this expansive land, the Archaiemenid, son of a Persian, Aryan from the Aryan race ”. Herodotus the famous Greek historian also writes “ These ( Medes and Persians ) were called anciently by all people as the Aryans”.
    ~
    This was the Middle East over 2000 years ago. Prior to the Greeks and Europeans naming the land “Persia” it was known as the Kingdom of the Aryans, an extension of Vedic India where even the name “Iran” is a corruption of the word “Aryan”. And their kings such as “Cyrus the great” and “Darius” both Sanskrit names “Cyrus” a corruption of “Kurus” a name of the great Vedic dynasty and “Darius” is the Sanskrit “dharya” meaning “holding” his name according to academia “holding firm the good”.

      You’re going the wrong direction with the assumption that Avestan came from Sanskrit or that one was a corruption of the other. They were contemporaries and one would likely have understood the other in those times. It is useful to compare the languages to make sense of the other, but they both came from the same proto languages.

    Magic started in the city of Babylon. The one true God (Allah) sent two angels, Harut & Marut, with the knowledge of magic as a test for the people.
    " And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Hārūt and Mārūt. But they [i.e., the two angels] do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]."1 And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And they [i.e., people] learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But they [i.e., the Children of Israel] certainly knew that whoever purchased it [i.e., magic] would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew. " -- Al-Quran, surah Baqarah, ayah 102.

    It comes from the codes that command the matrix. The matrix we live in is commanded by Combinations of tones that can be used by putting the tones into word commands for easy remembrance. Words are used in combination to create the tones needed to produce the command. There are beings all around us that we can't see some are to assist us with certain problems but not if its part of our training. The commands are there for the certain beings who took bodies for higher purposes. But we have learned from them or witnessed them being used and wrote them down in a way for us to understand. Hope this helps the matrix is made from waves of energy from another Dimension.

      It showcases the theory you mention. Code (frequency) is the basis of the language and strings of code form commands. I wouldn't consider the commands magic themselves, like you wouldn't think of a computer command as magic. The Matrix was designed with a fixed number of commands. I think magic refers to using non-native(artificial) commands that are created within the Matrix to alter reality.

    The proto-Celtic root of druid was specifically the oak tree, if I remember correctly, though it did come from the PIE word for tree. So the druid was the oak-knower. With the oak tree being _dair_ in modern Irish. The Irish for magic is _draíocht_ which comes from the druidic arts which over time became magic or enchantment in general.

      ​@@mladendjukic1061 It's pointless giving words without saying which language they are from. Writing the letter V immediately marks this out as suspicious. It wasn't used in Old Irish. The 'v' sound does exist but it is produced by what is called lenition of the letters 'b' and 'm', with another 'v' sound being produced by what is called eclipsis of the letter 'f'.
      None of these changes were written in Old Irish, which was first written by monks using the Latin script. It was understood that the changes were triggered by the placement of the letters. Later lenition was written by putting a dot over the letter, and eclipsis by the use of consonants.
      And not of these sounds would occur in the Old Celtic root, from which Old Irish and the Gaulish forms would have come from. The Old Celtic is reconstructed to be something like *derwijes, broken down to *derwos "true" and *dru- "tree" (especially oak) + *wid- "to know".
      The Old Irish form was written as 'drui' with the dative and accusative forms being 'druid'. The plural was 'druad'.
      The modern Irish hasn't changed much, being 'draoi' meaning *druid*, with later meanings of wizard and magician, or someone who read auguries.

    ..This book talked about all the most important things; about what makes us weak and what gives us strength of Spirit. The servants of God called this book of magicians (Slovienes (from [slovo] {rus} = word), the correct name of the Slavs) in different ways; most often the "Black Book", and the giants-magi, the creators of this book were called warlocks. Later, the servants of the Lord declared the Deep Book to be witchcraft and blasphemous, why, it is not difficult to guess, besides, the Deep Book easily competed with the Bible, showed the inconsistency and falsity of the lunar book of Yahweh. Many called this artifact the book of Prince Rocha from the land of Magog. The descendants of Aryans and Russians - Arabs - still call the Caucasus the land of Magog, now they are peoples of Jewish orientation living in the Middle East...
    ... The Angels of the Heavenly Powers taught avatar-punishers to identify magicians in different ways, one of them is weighing. The weight of a PERSON was different from that of a HUMAN, it was about 13-15 kg, because there was less than 30% water in a PERSON, the "inhumans" did not drown in the water and burned badly. God ordered his viceroy sons to destroy all people with long memories...
    ... In the primary language of Magicians, with the correct pronunciation of combinations of sounds, the frequency matrix of the word created an instruction frame - a holographic image for the Power of Ra. In the presence of great energy capabilities of the body or other technogenic instrument (for example, a dolmen), the healed (whole, with an electric body) and the chaste (wise in everything) could create and transform the matter of the surrounding World. Magicians, magols are men (people) who create with their hands, Mind and True speech. Hence the concept of True Speech or First-speech is born...
    ...(Job 40:1-27) 5. Adorn yourself with greatness and glory, put on splendor and splendor. 6. Pour out the fury of your anger, look at all that is proud and humble it. 7. Look at all the arrogant and humiliate them, and crush the wicked in their places. 8. Bury them all in the ground and cover their faces with darkness. Most of the Aryans did not want to move to underground cities, they almost did not experience pain, and with the help of the Slovenes, they successfully fought against other misfortunes. Of course, it was harder for the magicians to protect the brothers, but thanks to their hands, the world on the surface did not turn into an abandoned garden. When meeting with magicians, arias shared their feelings; that it took a lot of effort and time to do the work, but before everything could be done effortlessly. A whole day was not enough to solve seemingly simple problems.Only the Slovienes living underground noticed how the arias began to change - they themselves did not notice it. Their movements became slower, their speech slowed down, old grievances against their fellow tribesmen began to return, the brothers tried to isolate themselves, they became very closed...
    ... .. Usually "Gog" is the name of the leader of the people, "Magog" is the name of the country and people. Magog (Gog) is mentioned as the son of Japhet (Gen. 10,2; 1 Par. 1,5), as the ancestor - eponym of some northern people in relation to Palestine, put in connection with the Medes and Cimmerians. As you remember, in the Greek tradition, Japhet (Japhet Bible Gen.10,2; 1 Par. 1,5) is the titan father of Prometheus - Gogol (bird), so everything fits together. In the Book of Ezekiel, Gog is the prince of Rosh (Russia), Mehesh and Fuwal. Gog will lead the army "from the borders of the north" in alliance with other nations, it will be "in the last days" when Israel (the World) will live safely. Yahweh himself will come out against Gog, a terrible earthquake will occur and strike Gog's troops "On the mountains of Israel" and send fire to the land of Magog (Ezek. 38-39). The Jewish tradition directly connects the invasion of Gog with the coming of the Messiah and the Last Judgment. (Jewish authorities argued: 7 years or 12 months it will last). The invasion of Gog is timed to coincide with the expiration of the millennial reign (of the Jews over "Rosh" - Russia)...
    ...Tartars from the country of Magog (Magols - Magicians) and the so-called "Circassians" restrained Christianity in the north-western Caucasus for another 300 years, already after the Kievan Vladimir Malkin (son of Malka-Malusha) baptized Russia with fire and sword from the west and north. The word "Circassian" probably means "cutting a demon". The word "cas" [kes] in the Turkic language means to chop, to cut into pieces. This could be the name of the first warriors of Allah who invaded the Caucasus. Then the word "Circassian" united a large and diverse formation of the population of the old Caucasus. On the other hand, from the eastern part of the Caucasus, Byzantium has long built a nest in Armenia, thereby creating an oasis and a buffer religious zone around the Mystery of the Third Planet lying under the Caucasus...

      They do not want a population which thinks and forms their own opinions...They long for a day in which the generation that walks upon the earth, exist in a world where no other sources than, the "approved" sources have survived.

    It's interesting how Polish "wiedźma" (a witch) doesn't seem to have negative etymology, yet it suddenly got this connotation, probably after the The Grimms' Fairy Tales publication, most notably Hansel and Gretel, so it would seem.
    "Wiedźma" comes from *vĕdьma meaning "she who knows" similar to how "wieszcz" came to be meaning originally prophet, wiseman and later an inspired poet.
    Both praslavic *vĕdĕti (to know) and *vidĕti (to see) come from PIE *weyd-, yet somehow "wiedźma" feels more connected to sanskrit वेत्ति (veda) than "wieszcz" is... at least it feels that way - if I were to form a feminine version of "wieszcz" I could do it ("wieszczyna" seems the most plausible form, as the tree "wierzba" which is a feminine tree has another form that is "wierzbina", coming from *werb- or perhaps *wer-), yet I can't do it the other way - there's no way to make a masculine form of "wiedźma" other than "wiedźmin" which is a word created for the witcher series, so it is plain fantasy.
    I find this discrepancy between Slavic and Romance/Germaic etymologies really amusing.

    ancient Kemet word Heka is the earliest from of magic... the first Magic trick is 2700BC in ancient Kemet... it was also a religion... Magic started on the African continent and Arabia... today we look at the Red Sea as the separation.. but in ancient times the people didn’t see a separation...

    I think it's neat learning about different stuff. I remembered that magic was in the Disney movies like Snow White and the seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. It's nice learning about different stuff and I think it's educational.

    See also "watch hazel" a bendy type of wood, . "Wick" ,lively, or moving, "wych/wich" a bend in the road, ( a Yorkshire farmer may describe a dead sheep as being wick with maggots, moving) . Thereby a witch would be one who moves of bends reality, as seen in the animé series, last airbender, where airbenders, waterbenders, firebenders, earthbenders can each manipulate their respective elements, , thus bender = wizard/witch

    To address some repeated comments: This video is about the origin of the word "Magic" and the tradition and concepts the English word refers to; therefore it covers some (not all) of the history of magic within the cultures that affected the word before and as it came into English. It is not intended to explain all magic everywhere or all the various magical traditions across the world. There are many rich and important traditions of magic in other languages and cultures. Also, the audio for the guest is unfortunately only on the left track, so if you can't hear it, try the other earbud. Our apologies for that technical error.

    There's a series of children's books called "Hilda" that have a character who's a Mara, and she makes the main characters have nightmares. It's pretty cool to know the author probably knew about the etymology of the word and used it on purpose. Also, the idea of the Mara comes, as far as I know, from "night terrors", a disposition common in teens and young adults caused by stress, anxiety and others that make you suffer constant nightmares, that are quite severe. Sleep paralysis, that can make your mind distort reality, forming monsters, creatures and faces that are "not allowing you to move or breath correctly" and the horrible misogynistic idea of female lust.
    On another comment, not so much about the video itself. The 2 ads before your video were quite... interesting. One is for an app Gaia? that was talking about ancient powers (aliens, magic, etc) and the 2nd was a catholic ad for this coming Easter... I couldn't keep from giggling.. xD

    I really love this video - just like the rest of your work. :)
    I find the PIE *ser root interesting. There is a proto-uralic root basically meaning the same (en.wiktionary.org/wiki/szer) but I never see them connected. It is the root of many words is my language, Hungarian. They are all about order and connection: szerszám (tool), szerelem (love), szerez (acquire,), szerint (according to), szerkezet (machine), -szor/-szer/-ször ( a counting word) and so on.
    Do you think these PU and PIE roots are connected, and this is a very ancient word?

    So if Moses staff was turned into a serpent, wouldn't that validate majic had been in existence nearly 4000 years before Zoroastrianism, Greek or pro European existence? My point is, in ancient Egypt majic was first linked to IsIs and Osiris. The wand pertains to phallus and kteis the vigina. Do your research.

    • @enemyofwolves
      @enemyofwolves 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Except the story of Moses is specifically anti magic, and his staff turning into a serpent is from the will of God, and not magic.

      @@enemyofwolves the (Will) of God. And you are correct, the word (Will) is that which is working through mere man or matter by the power (Will)of God. Magic today is nothing compared to what Moses demonstrated during his day. Majic was just that "the (Will) of God" (emphasises on the word Will). Excatly, the word (Will) was what it was all about. Man has always had the God Will or (Will) of God naturally incarnated.
      So today the word (Will) is replaced by the word magic. In the occult by Crowely the K is an essential part of modern day magic that links to khu, Khufu of ancient Egypt. Do the research?
