Magical combat is a struggle between storytellers in which each mage tries to define a common reality in terms of the story that best serves his or her purposes. The medium of magic is consciousness -- one's own consciousness, that of other people, and (more controversially, at least within the worldview of modern industrial culture) that of other-than-human entities of various kinds. The tools of magic are will, imagination, and the innate structures of consciousness itself, constellated through formal patterns of symbol and ritual. The goals of magic are defined by the individual magician.

- John Michael Greer

There are many stories that underlie the systems that shape our world, stories that often times have buried histories and unexamined assumptions. Sometimes the myths and rituals that shape our experience of reality are invisible, like the ones and zeroes of computer code. In a very real sense many of the most powerful stories are invisible, even dismissed by most people as being in any way influential on daily affairs.

You're both traveler and author(ity) of these invisible storied landscapes. Much of what is termed 'magic' by modern practitioners and scholars can be understood as narrative spellcraft.

Narrative Spellcraft - to transform symbols, images, language and ritual into story. This new narrative then gets incorporated into an audience's everday life and manifests change through their actions.

Welcome to The Last Wizards. The stories below, and in our archives, explore visible and invisible realities from many beliefs and viewpoints.
