"In 1960 a scientific paper by Wallace S. Broecker and his colleagues Maurice Ewing and Bruce C. Heezen, of Lamont Geological Observatory at Columbia University, Palisades, New York, appeared in 'American Journal of Science'. Entitled 'Evidence for an Abrupt Change in Climate close to 11,000 years ago', it advanced theory that a 'number of geographically isolated systems suggested that warming of world-wide climate which occurred at close of Wisconsin glacial times was extremely abrupt. (3)

By examining sediment cores taken from various deep-sea locations, Broecker and his team were able to demonstrate that around c. 9000 BC. surface water temperature of Atlantic Ocean increased by between six and ten degrees centigrade, (4) enough to alter its entire ecosystem. More significantly, it was found that bottom waters of Cariaco Trench in Caribbean Sea, off Venezuela, suddenly stagnated, {The Gulf Stream being sent back south from hitting land around Azores when water level was lower suddenly started warming Iceland and British Isles regions, again.} showing that an abrupt change in water circulation had taken place coincident to warming of oceans. (5) Additionally, silt deposits washing into Gulf of Mexico from Mississippi Valley abruptly halted and were retained in delta and valleys, as waters from glacier-bound Great Lakes switched direction and began draining through previously frozen northern outlets. (6) With extreme rapidity, water levels of these lakes shrank from maximum volume, down to much lower level they occupy today. (7)

Among data drawn on by Broecker and his team to make their findings was work conducted in 1957 by Cesare Emiliani of Department of Geology at University of Miami. He found that deep-sea cores displayed clear evidence of an abrupt temperature turn around in 9000 BC. was responsible for other changes set out by Broecker et al. (8) However, since other cores examined by Emiliani had not shown same rapid transition, he decided that anomalous cores lacked vital sediment layers covering a period of several thousand years of ecological history, and so dismissed them as unreliable. (9) Yet Broecker and his colleagues disputed Emiliani's interpretation of results. They could find no reason to suppose that key sediment layers could have been lost in manner suggested. As a consequence, they reinstated Emiliani's controversial findings as crucial evidence of a major shift in oceanic temperatures around 11,000 years ago. (10)

Morning of Magicians

This is what those whose Grimoires are full of decrees would like us to think they can do. Having met them and lived with them, I am not convinced. However, it would seem some truly adept people can (on occasion) make manifest certain realities of a miraculous sort. When someone heals with laying on of hands, there is no charm of making ritual, but that does not mean they haven't acclimated and trained themselves through some similar process or haven't been given such a talent innately. We can't say for sure that ritual isn't part of miracles but we can say there is no absolute necessity of good being associated with said miracles. In final analysis I am inclined to disregard psychopompous nature of power seekers and proselytes who play with things they use and abuse for personal gain.

When acts are for good of all and brotherhood they can more frequently be seen as coherent inputs from natural forces. As Law of Magi states - 'Right Thought = Right Action'. Here is a little miracle that I know is possible yet most would say is pure hogwash and fantasy of 'savage' mind that can't be trusted because they are often drunk and illiterate. Would you imagine yourself able to enjoy drinking if your people had been treated way they have been? Who defines what value it is to write when person can't 'communicate' with their soul?
