If you want insight about the history of magick, read the book Magic and Superstition in Europe by Michale D. Bailey. It is a scholarly book written by a history professor who is an expert on the history of magick. That is, it might be dry, dense reading for you but it is very insightful. Magicians (sorcerers, magi, wizards) have been around since the beginning of mankind. People tended to think that magical and superstitious things that went on in their own official culture were religion or just "culture." The equivalents of those practices when performed by other cultures or practices that were a little alternative where considered "magick" and possibly threatening or evil. the Biblical story you allude to is an example of this kind of reasoning. Mose's magick isn't really magick--it's God; but the Egyptian sorceress' magick is nasty magic. This was the thinking. As now--same as thousands of years ago. The Catholic Mass or the Hindu puja isn't "magick" but rituals performed by Wiccans or Western occultists are magick. It is really all the same, though.


Ancient records of the matter do claim that sorcerers, etc. did exert power. Whether this was actual or not cannot be proven. Note that some in ancient times (the Romans) thought that Jesus was a mage and that his followers were occultists. This was one of the reasons why Jesus and the early Christian movement was threatening to the Roman empire.

A sigil is a kind of glyph ( a little symbolic scribble). The parts are short hand kind of symbols related to planets, elements and energy movements that relate to the entity that the sigil is suppose to represent. Sigils are used (either drawn on something or "drawn" in the air) during rituals or invocation or conjuring. I've come across books that contain sigils but haven't found a good source that really breaks them down and explains them.

Turning a rod into a snake isn't that difficult a trick; basically it's a snake that's held in such a way it's body is rigid, but when thrown to the ground it is able to move (and probably moves fast from being p.o.d). If Moses had turned a stick into a polar bear or a lawn chair- now THAT would have been magic.

Most scholars believe that Atlantis began as oral history of the explosion of the island of Thera (now known as Santorini) ca. 1628 BC. Thera had a very advanced culture- far more so than Greece or even Crete at the time- running water, complicated architecture, etc., but nothing like air cars or crystal pyramids associated with Atlantis in myth. The volcano on Thera erupted several times, but the 1628 BC blast was the greatest final time was such a blast that the remains of boats from the Mediterranean have been found on mountain tops in Greece and the cities and most of the people on the island were destroyed in a matter of hours; the survivors and witnesses (who'd have been many, because even if you were hundreds of miles away you felt the tremors and the air was blackened by the smoke) kept the story alive in their tales, and those who had been to the island told of how advanced it was, and since at this time nothing was understood of plate tectonics or magma anything that powerful surely came from p.o.d deities, and thus the legend was born.
Interestingly, Thera/Santorini erupted again around 1250 BCE, destroying the cities that had been built on the volcanic ruins atop the earlier civilization. There's a theory that this volcano coincided with/inspired the "Ten Plagues of Egypt"- it would have discolored the waters of the Niles, forced frogs to abandon the water for the land, darkened the sky, caused "burning hail" (actually ash and lava), etc., and because it poisoned crops and cattle with gases and because first born sons slept close to the floor (where gases seep) and were given choicer and larger portions it could even have killed enough oldest sons to have made it into folklore.

Later Plato based a series of parables around Atlantis. He probably used stories that were kept alive orally (which often have mixtures of truth and exaggeration on top of exaggeration) but mainly he made stuff up to prove his point about human arrogance and technology.
Thera is now largely unearthed and we can see what the city looked like. Link below.

The other link is to a recent documentary on the Exodus that has some interesting theories about its causes and historical setting.

You are much to hasty - it seems you are desparate to call change into your life, but not just anyone can weild this force. You must train FOR YEARS - and nothing anyone can say will change that. There is NO INSTANT MAGICKAL BOOK, that you can buy that will allow you to conjure anything - no such magick exists.

The Mages and Sorcerers in the bible were trained priests of the God SET and devotees to the GODDESS ISIS the mother of all magick - since childhood they were trained in the mysteries.

Magick is a spirituality not a theatrical trick that you can do to change your life.

STOP BEING DESPERATE AND BE TOLD BY ONES WISER THAN YOU IN THESE MATTERS.

Atlantis is a place just like EGYPT where great spirituality grew and much magick thrived - and where many sciences we know today were discovered.

WE DO LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD - AND IF IT WERE POSSIBLE TO SAY A FEW WORDS AND **MAGICKAL** FAIRY DUST FLIES OUT THE TIP OF YOUR FINGERS - EVERYONE WORLD BE DOING IT - DON'T YA THINK?????it is stupid to think so. You are obviously a child or teen - become an adult before worrying about such things.
