Hello and welcome back - okay, so today on Real World Magic, I'm going to teach you how
to become a real wizard.
I'm gonna teach you some wizard secrets and what the word wizard means.
I'm not gonna send anyone of to Hogwarts because it's closed now anyway due to Covid-19.
I'm also not going to dress like this again - been there, done that.
But I am going to try to cover all the basics of how to become a REAL wizard!
Now you might have seen on one of my previous videos - linked up here - about how to get
real magical powers.
That's been pretty popular - I'm not going to lie.
And at the time of filming, it's been watched over 11,500 times, and it's growing all the
time!
So I've got high hopes there!
Well, this video is going to be a bit of an extension of that - or at least it's going
to try to be.
I'm going to use the real world as a basis for what I'm talking about.
Now, I've seen a lot of videos about being a wizard, and most of them involve an old
dude, who looks like Santa Claus, talking to the camera... like this guy!
Now, granted...
I'm not as old, or grey... yet, but I think I do know a thing or two about being a real
wizard.
So, in this video, I'm going to talk you through how to start being your very own wizard!
Of course, it's not all about being Harry Potter, and using a magic wand to blast lightning
bolts out of the end...
like this...
If you do wanna do that, just check out my previous video, linked up here... of course,
this kinda thing...
in reality looks like this...
Yes, it's just a stick... it's a nice stick... but it's just a stick.
Obviously the myth about wizards using wands came from somewhere, so here's the truth about
magic wands!
The wand is like a pointing stick.
Obviously!
Druids and other magical workers believe the wand can direct energy.
It's often tipped with a crystal, and sometimes uses beads or ribbons.
Like this one...
I actually prefer the style of Harry Potter's wands, to be honest, it just looks cleaner.
Of course, there is Seraphina Piquory's wand with a crystal in it - and that's a very pretty
wand, so put that one next to this example of a real magic wand from the museum of witchcraft
and magic - I know which one I'd rather have - then again, it's quite tricky to get hold
of a phoenix tail feather, or a unicorn hair, or a dragon heart string!
Okay, what about the cauldron?
In the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter goes to Diagon Alley and buys one standard,
size 2, Pewter Cauldron.
So, is there anything in that?
Do real wizards have cauldrons?
Well, yes... of sorts... modern witches and wizards do use cooking pots, and some of them
even do use cauldrons.
these cauldrons are often more symbolic than practical - but if you want to use one to
brew a magical potion, you're more than welcome!
Just be aware that if you wand all of the flashing lights and sound effects, you'll
probably need to use a software package like After Effects to add that in the video afterwards.
I talk about how to do that in that video that I linked up here.
Most kids at some point go out into the garden or a field and start picking up grass and
flowers, and make a magical potions, out of mushed up stuff they find, and the reason
they do this is because they know - deep down there's something very magical about it.
Wizards - and remember the origin of the word is "wise one" use herbs and the natural world
to heal people.
They augment it with spells too.
And I'm making a separate video about spells - when that video is online, I'll be sure
to link it up here, and in the description of this video down there, too.
So, wizards use herbs and wands to direct their magic.
They would have been very knowledgeable about the natural world - and particularly about
healing the natural world.
In the dark ages - in particular - the wizards would have been revered as wise healers.
But they were also feared by those in power.
Feared alongside witches.
In fact, more men were killed than women, during the dark period of our history known
to witches and wizards as the "burning times".
Because that's when witch finders like Matthew Hopkins were paid a commission by
the ruling classes for every single witch they found.
And so Matthew Hopkins in particular "found" a lot!
He'd often accuse whole families and even was known to murder family pets in order to
get his money - believing that they were in league with the devil!
That's pretty sick stuff, really.
So that's how to become a real wizard - you just need to understand the natural world
and become wise.
And I know I've said "become wise" in previous videos like this one, but it's important...
Use herbs and understand their medicinal properties.
Yes, you'll need to work REAL magic and I have a playlist for that if you want to learn
how to get real world magical powers.
But more importantly, for wizards, it's to be wise, and to use the knowledge that you've
acquired to become stronger.
Help people... grow wiser... and I think the world could use some more wise people - especially
nowadays...
So, good luck!
