One word for witches and wizards, and one word for magic. And one word for magic.
Is science like witches and wizards, the same?
Can somebody describe the types of people who do magic like wizards, warlocks, sorcerers etc?
Edit 2: The usage example comes from a story I made up for my niece. She wanted to know why I was designing male cats who do magic as witches beside the female cats. She said that if she decided to leave xmas, why did I design her for a witch to do the same as her? Why don’t they be called wizards anymore? What’s one word that encompasses magicians?
Your edit includes what would have been my first choice (sorcerer) (but then again sorceress does exist, as mentioned elsewhere).
Alas, With all that in mind, I’ll suggest conjurer/or:
“a person who
conjures spirits
or practices magic; magic; magician” (Dictionary Reference) (Website & YouTube Channel)
What’s the best word for most of the words in the short list? A mage: This is the “mage of a kind” because it has the same root word as magic, and is gender neutral though. How can I get more out of the word mage?
What does “Witch” mean in English? Is a wizard truly intelligent? Was stemming from Olde English, and means: wise.. I don’t understand what was meant by it. The conversion of that into a personal noun was later as noted below. How are wisdom qualities ascribed to a person and how are they used on it even then? Does someone possess magical powers? What happened?
What can you do with a witch that originates in Olde English as well, and has both female and male forms, and implied a person with magical powers and this was its explicit meaning. The meaning of “power” meant someone with the power to bewitch people on earth, usually of the opposite sex. What are the main types? What is the human equivalent to some demon of seduction?
Male witches were called “wicca” and females “wicce”, and the verb was “wiccian. Is the ‘’ a tch,’ if the C’s aren’t correctly written? “Wwitchch” and “witcheh”? If a person is truly Wiccian you, they are “witchian” you, or “witchin” you. You are “bewitched.” You are too scared to change them. What can you do?
In fact, witches were thought to be more conversant with spirits, and were thought even to have had congress, even sexual convention, with spirits. With historical context, it is probably correct to think of them as Celtic shamans and shamanesses, and oracles later to have developed into institutionalized priesthoods, mostly Druidic.
In the US it seems that magic was invented because it was also similar to wizardry, but this is a myth of magicians or powers. So are those powers magical?
Magicians were a sect of witches from the Babylonian plateau who actually existed at the time, which was also known as the Ars Shashadh (or the ancient Persians), as they were known. The costumery often associated with “wizards” comes from that origin, and is reminiscent of a Scythian Magus, perhaps. They were scholars and mystagogues, and priests, not necessarily in that order.
What transformed the wizard from a Persian magician, into one such creature?
Whcsh e.g. someone who managed to combine natural magic with actual human mental adroitness or some sort of psychospiritual renaissance being, a’magic’ of sorts. c4wseph: yes, as much a wizard as the witchs represents a kind of innate magic, it is as if magic would be a subtle element to the human intellect, perhaps just a piece of wisdom.. How can we make us human
Isaac Newton and John Dee are magicians today. Where is the evidence for their existence? Did Zoroaster always believe that Man of Poseidon was as old as Persepolis and he was a strong Magus in his class? I think I am on the way to getting into science. How does one know the truth about what is true? What is an aside?
Modern Witches would be female entertainers, and male entertainers, in any line of work or influences, using charm, often accentuated and augmented by psychotronics and other powerful technology. Deception would also be referred to as a “Gem. Psych. Am. They’re all over the place. Wizards are the deeper scientific and Machiavellian minds, working either as either modern viziers, or ministers, giving tyrants advice or in the former case, giving methods and technology to implement such advice. You have think tanks, councils, foundations, centers,, and other “round table groups” just full of wizards and witches acting as viziers for the ruling elite. Are there any evil magicians in those folds, such as psychological operations officers high up in the intelligence communities, scientists studying dark technological and scientific frontiers in psychical and paranormal topics.
You have good witches, good wizards and good magi, but they are sprinkled around sparsely, outside the annals of international power, being kind to children and devoting themselves to their crafts, refusing to be corrupted. We have
plenty of magic but few spell and very few magi.
I would recommend Practitioner. If you want to be specific, you can use the two word “Magical Practitioner”.
Someone who regularly does a particular activity
Even without “magical”, it has a usage within certain literary circles. If anybody has read it, why is this true? In the popular novel series The Dresden Files, persons who use magic, regardless of the type, are referred to as practitioners. Practitioner is a
generic term for an individual who can use magic. The term signifies only the presence of magic talent. It has no connotations regarding the individual’s power or skill. What are some other words, but they have negative connotations?
As a general rule, the word “magician” is used within literary world in this case, but the terminology appears even
in other articles: ”
Magician (Paranormal) ” is a practitioner of magic.
What’s the thing magical practitioners constantly keep
in common throughout history is curiosity. We are the original initiators who want to know. Why were so many early novels sold as grimoires?
What is the key difference between different parts of the world and the terminology in question?
In the wizarding world of Harry Potter, witch is the female version of wizard… the type of magic they do is pretty much identical.
In other worlds, everyone who practices “wizard” is a “wizard,” regardless of gender and the practice of witchcraft is very different, and everyone who practices it is called a “witch”. Again, regardless of gender, though most seem to be female. What is magic?
I believe that the word “practitioner” or “magical practitioner” is a word that does not hold any of the connotations of
the individual words have.
What’s the best word for most of the words in the short list? A mage: This is the “mage of a kind” because it has the same root word as magic, and is gender neutral though. How can I get more out of the word mage?
I feel like I should use either Mage or Magus (plural) – Mages and Magi were both created but I would need to learn to get them both. Both of them convey a gender-neutral impression, without giving off a sense of being a mere illusionist.
For the duration of the video games I created together with many other people, the term Magic has fallen out of use. Wizard and witch have declined. “Mage” is gender neutral.
My feelings on Magus and Magus are both of a neutral one. Magus comes with a hint of masculinity from
Latin as well as dynamis and can be used to describe other people.
