Lesson Two:

Magical Beginnings 

The Theory of Uno Mas: The most popular theory, stating that magic came from one person, that being Uno Mas. However, this is probably not his real name, as it is Ancient Aramaic for "The First Magi". This theory was first official presented by William Marangue, in his book "The Theory of Uno Mas". The book states this person lived before cavemen, instead with reptiles, and is father of all witches and wizards. It also credits him with the creation of the first wand. 

The Migration Theory: This theory believes muggles and magical folk lived side by side during years of migration, but magical folks did not know they were in possession of magical abilities. When the Descent of Blizz (The Ice Age for Muggleborns) hit, the magical folk separated and formed their own tribes. They then become settlers and founded they many wizarding cities we know today. This theory is supported by Ho Mao Tseng, a wizarding explorer and historian, who followed the tracks of unknown people in 1535, which lead into non existence. He believed this meant this wizarding folks died in an avalanche. However, in the 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 who migrated west towards France during the Descent of Blizz. This theory also claims to be the first stating the Natural Progression of Magic, but it is believed to be borrowed for the least popular theory, below. 

The Theory of Hocus Pocus: This theory states that magic came out of thin air, and that there never was a "first wizard". This theory focuses more on the first known uses of magic, not who first used magic. This "story" suggest women had magic-like abilities to seduce men and this later spread as part of the Natural Progression of Magical Tendencies. 

Bonus:  Evidence support the "Theory of Hocus Pocus" is stored in Brussels, in their Museum of Ancient Magical History, guarded and kept by Professor Hugo Bjorkenthe Senior Curator and Magical Anthropologist. The evidence is a birch bark manuscript that contains writing supporting the theory. 

Proponents and Opponents: An example of an opponent to a theory is Dr. Josiah Loppet, who is strongly against the Uno Mas theory, stating that the idea that we lived amongst the dinosaurs is "completely ridiculous". He even wrote a book entitled "The Anti-Uno Mas Theory".  However, Dr. Loppet is a strong proponent of the Hocus Pocus and Great Migration Theories. He was even working with Professor Bjorken to retrieve the Birch Bark Manuscripts from the Alps.
