Abaris was a mythological figure, and Hyperborea was a mythological place which the Ancient Greek writers couldn't even agree on where it was located. I couldn't find anything that backs up your specifics above - but you know how the Internet is. Siberian magick makes the least sense; do you mean Scythian magick?Caiyros Arlen Strang KCS wrote:Waall Pardners, methinks that the most important male magick creator and magician already was knnown as a developer and user of this new aspect of the Earth's World, that we have called magic , since the first comings of the magia, and thus lived sometime before 1300 BC (He was known well, prior to the first fall of Troy.
His name is Abaris the Hyperborean
He created the first baseline concept of magick, thus impregnating all the "thinking parts of the planet" and even having that dribble into geographic areas of primitivism.
Thus, he created:
A. The Concept of What we Now Call Magick
B. The Demonstration of various Magicks as listed by Heroditus and Others later on.
His Magick was the Basis of Gnosticism, Phalicism, Creating Objects, and Uses of Mentalities.
C. The Father of Siberian Magick,
D. The Father of Solomonic Qabala
E. The Probable Author of The Enocian Language, first "publicly found by Dr. John Dee in his collection of extremely ancient manuscripts (now lost or hidden) of this language
F. The healing of some diseases by hypnosis (which he probably was one of a few who discovered this ability. But may have been the "Primary Spreader" of this knowledge as he selected some people to "Carry On".
G. I could have mentioned a few people in Ancient Egypt, BUT, while their Occultism was Very Advanced, it was not Magick per se.

It started off sounding good until it veered into stage magic. Ah well pretty neat to see a mention at all anyway.Ravechaosknight wrote:Oh, here is another entry.
