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.

Caiyros
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?
I'm certainly open to the idea of figures like Merlin and Abaris having actually existed though.


I see. So this is it. It lies here within this palm. The heart.

Oh, here is another entry.

Representative Pete Sessions from the house of Congress. http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/bi ... ex=S000250

Because of this: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-con ... n/642/text

While not the Magick we think of, it is a step in the right direction. lol Could have big ramifications.

It started off sounding good until it veered into stage magic. Ah well pretty neat to see a mention at all anyway.

Personally, I would say Solomon. His ability to bind demons and spirits, to have them do his bidding and give him more knowledge.............he was probably the best known "spirit Keeper", an ancient Ash and Magnolia lol His keys and works are still studied, and I personally believe it is because of HIS magick work that inspired Crowley, inspired Dee, actually inspired all of the magicians to "push the envelope", to delve deeper into what is possible, to seek out all of the truths and hidden and forgotten knowledge. If not for Solomon's works, and the inspiration that came out of, there would have been no advancement or experimentation.
