Great post that should have had more love.
I'm no magic man dispite writing about myths at the moment not to long ago actually about "abracadabra"
Personally I have been long time friends with a man that I could only call a cult leader with a commune of 30 plus people never have been able to figure out if he believed the stuff he spouts or if he is just a really charismatic conman.
Either way he is always interesting to hang out with.
