Theories Of Magics Beginnings

Chapter 2

There are three main theories:

1. The Theory of Uno Mas

-Ancient Aramaic for "First Magi"

-Theory was officially presented by William Marangue in "The Theory of Uno Mas"

- lived in the Time of Reptiles (dinosaurs) alongside cavemen; created first wand; father of all magic/wizards and witches

- Dr. Josiah Loppetstrongly disagrees with
Theory of Uno Mas and wrote a book “The Anti-Uno Mas Theory”.

2. The Migration Theory

- wizards and witches didn't know they had magic

- Descent of Blizz (Ice Age) hit; wizards and muggles split up

- Ho Mao Tseng (1535) found trails that lead into non-existence and believed
that wizards most likely died in the avalanche.

- In 1800’s (1803 and 1832), a group of Gringotts
Curse Breakers
unearthed spells, jewelry, clothing, tools and relics of a
group of early magical people.

-borrowed the idea of Natural Progression from the Theory of Hocus Pocus

3. The Theory of Hocus Pocus

- It focuses more on the first known uses of magic instead
of who first used magic.



- Women were able to use magic as a form of persuasion and
that came a “Natural Progression” of magical tendencies.



- Evidence supporting this theory is stored at Brussels Museum
of Ancient Magical History
and is kept by Professor Hugo Bjorken
(the Senior Curator and Magical Anthropologist).



- It is the Birch Bark Manuscript containing writings
that support this theory.



***Definition of Natural Progression: Nature’s tendency to
force habits upon men who react differently than wizards.***
