I love exploring how magic and otherworldly concepts are considered in the pages of a comic book. To me, there is a lot of commonality between heiroglyphs and comic book pages. In the Marvel universe, Dr. Strange is a great character to look at how magic may express in “real life”. We can contrast this to Zatanna:
Whose magical abilities arew due to her Homo Magi nature and land her right in Atlantis. I also realize I never linked my short story the Oracle and the Knight in my last post and so you can get that here.
The etymology of Magic is:
late 14c., magike, "art of influencing or predicting events and producing marvels using hidden natural forces," also "supernatural art," especially the art of controlling the actions of spiritual or superhuman beings; from Old French magique "magic; magical," from Late Latin magice "sorcery, magic," from Greek magikē (presumably with tekhnē "art"), fem. of magikos "magical." This is from magos "one of the members of the learned and priestly class," a borrowing of Old Persian magush, which is possibly from PIE root *magh- "to be able, have power."
Oftentimes people can think of magic as something technology has not yet “understood”. However you define magic, I welcome you to harness it!
Also I have a fun Jean Grey seminar coming up regarding our relationship to time and genetics. So please make sure you stay tuned! Keep it magical :)
