Magician…Illusionist!

♦Maga in Latin: Magic, Magical, Witch

♦Maga in Italian: Sorceress or Witch

♦Maga in Spanish: Magician or Wizard or Illusionist

♦Maga in Polish: Magician

♦Maga in Sanskrit: Magician or Priest of the sun

Now, in English the word ‘Mage’ is an archaic word for magician or sorcerer coming from the Latin word, Magus/Maga, and Greek word Magos.

♦ Etymology com….mage (n.)

“magician, enchanter,” c. 1400, Englished form of Latin magus “magician, learned magician,” from Greek magos, a word used for the Persian learned and priestly class as portrayed in the Bible (said by ancient historians to have been originally the name of a Median tribe), from Old Persian magush “magician” (see magic and compare magi). An “archaic” word by late 19c. (OED), revived by fantasy games.”

With that said, once the term ‘Magician’ came up, I could only think of one thing, yup, that Economist magazine cover from December of 2016 called ‘The world in 2017’ Planet Trump, with the Tarot cards on it. Now do you think that was a coincidence?!
