those who are truely powerful dont go around bragging about it. I have heard a lot this whole new age magic has no limits talk. what i have not seen is any evidence that teleportation, flying brooms or transfiguration into mythological creature spells actually working.

A good point. I have spent a lifetime in entertainment, and I have seen many hypnotists, and seen seemingly "real" levitation. Never saw a "real" one! They were all "tricks", illusions. That doesn't mean that I dismiss such things as not real; just that I have not personally witnessed it.
Times have changed. Its a sad reality but the world isn't what it used to be. I'm definitely liking the fact that witch hunting is now illegal in most countries! But people back then had no boxed views. Magickal happenings were more likely to occur in the public eye. It wasn't that those magickal people were more powerful than us, it was that they were more open to the possibilities. They had no one telling them of gravity. The apple hadn't dropped on newtons head yet, and everything was a mystery. It made such things more easily accomplished mentally. Lock a child in a place away from all of modern knowledge and teach him magick and nature and he will be able to do incredible things. Mind over matter! The mind truly has a grip on us and what we can do. Of course I would never do that to a child because it would be cruel! Its just an example. There have been people who have learned to let go of this world (mentally) and these people have performed what is seen as miracles. But it is a life long mission that would take years of meditation for very long periods of time as well as cutting ones self off from the rest of the world. How many people would do this? Monks are the most commonly known.
But I still don't like the broomstick thing. I get a thought of a green little woman riding over a full moon. If you want to try and levitate. Go for it. But if you were taught as a child about gravity, your likelihood of doing so is near zero because that thought is already engraved into your mind from an early age. That's why we all say it is impossible. Its not levitation could have never occurred, its that in this modern day, the odds are against you.
There is no spell, oil, incantation out there. No special object, or rune. Magick is your mind, your heart, your soul. All the rest are just mental crutches. Belief is fuel of magick. And doubt is its killer.
Just an example: a child had been trapped under a car, a woman lifted the car and dragged her child out! Incredible! Do you think she stopped to think that she couldn't lift 2 tons of metal? No.
This was on the news when I was still in elementary school. I nearly cried when I saw it. Not because it was touching (although it was), but because it demonstrated how much we are truly capable of. When she was asked what she was thinking at that moment. She said, only her child, and she had to do something to save him.
By the way, she was completely unhurt. She had no damage to her body from lifting such extreme weight (and she was a smaller woman). And her child lived.
Science will tell you it was impossible. Science will TRY to explain why it happened. But science can never reproduce it.

Whiteraven, to some extent I agree with your post. As for the woman lifting the car, that was a surge of adrenalin giving the extra strength needed, it happens a lot.And,of course, the woman would only have to lift one end of the car. And most cars do not weigh anything like two tons!
It is all to do with the way how things (news) are presented to us.Such as the apple on Newton's head. It's a story! People in those days simply would not believe that Newton discovered the laws of gravity by studying the planets, and mathematics. Gravity had to be "explained" to the uneducated masses of those days. A falling apple perfectly describes that what goes up must come down.
The knowledge and information now in the public domain is vast by comparison with even a century ago. Years ago people really did believe in flying witches. Surely we now know better?
More knowledge; but not always more wisdom!
I was even taught a little prayer at school (Catholic) about this sort of thing.
"Lord grant me the strength to change the things that can be changed; the knowledge to accept what cannot be changed; and the wisdom to know the difference."
I know all the scientific reasonings Brysing and what you say is true. I'm a writer, a poet, an artist, and I like to use that in everything I do, including posts here. I like the apple falling paradigm. =) its a fun imagery.
And I realize that adrenaline would be the scientific explaination. But I was trying to keep the post in a spiritual light.
I just looked it up, and the average car is between 1 and 1.5 tons, SUVs are around 2.5, so I was in the ballpark. Its still way more weight then a little woman could normally lift! But the point is that the action caused scientists to rethink their own views. It demonstrates how people can do things beyond what is thought to be possible. So just because someone says it isn't possible yet.
But in no way do I condone attempting to fly on a broom. Not only is it silly, I would assume it would be very uncomfortable and dangerous! I like my feet on the ground. If I was meant to fly, I would have been born with wings.
