Magic. It's something that people have strived for mastery over for thousands of years. For to master the magical arts, would give one power to rule over others. But magic, is not for control of the masses or a group, it is for the mastery of ones own self.

From Gerald B. Gardner's book, "The Meaning of Witchcraft": 'I define magic as attempting to cause the physically unusual. Aleister Crowley defined it as,"The science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will." S.L. MacGregor defined it as, "The science of the control of the secret forces of nature."'
Gardner also said, "Magic is, as I understand it, the art of getting results."
"We have had to wait for the day of the computer to arrive , to discover how wonderful Stonehenge really is. A British-born astronomer, Professor Gerald S. Hawkins of Boston University, USA., decided to test out exhaustively the theory that, besides the well-known summer solstice alignment, Stonehenge has astronomical alignments of importance. He therefore fed all available data about the possible alignments of Stonehenge into a computer. the results were amazing."
"Professor Hawkins has given us the story of his work in his book STONEHENGE DECODED. Briefly, the computer revealed significant alignments to the rising and setting of the sun and moon at the equinoxes and solstices; some of which had not previously been suspected. more than this, it showed that Stonehenge itself could have been used as a computer, for the purpose of predicting eclipses." "Professor Hawkins calculated the odds against these alignments being mere coincidence. They worked out at 10 million to one. In any other country but phlegmatic Britain, his book would have created a sensation. As it is, those who have read it with an open mind have realised that its conclusions mean a complete reappraisal of our ideas about the people of Ancient Britain" Quoted material is taken from "AN ABC OF WITCHCRAFT" by Doreen Valiente.Feel free to visit the links below, and if you have one you'ld like me to add please e-mail it to me.
