Kumiho means, literally, “nine-tailed fox.” The following description appears (word for word) in both the Donga Color World Encyclopedia (Tonga wonsaek segye paekhwasajeon) and the Dusan Great World Encyclopedia (Tusan segye taebaekhwasajeon):
“A fox with nine tails that commonly appears in the oral tales of our country. It can freely transform into, among other things, a bewitching girl that seduces men. A fox that lives a thousand years is said to turn into a kumiho. There are a number of legendary tales in which the kumiho appears.” A half dozen or so of those legendary tales can be found in the encyclopedic Compendium of Korean Oral Literature (Hanguk kubimunhak taegye). A quick look at them will help supplement the brief description given above.

BROADENING YOUR HORIZONS
They say knowledge is power and I agree, learning is empowering. I find that the more I learn, the more interesting life becomes. I’m not talking about school type learning, (although obviously that’s great too) I’m talking about finding out more about anything and everything. My best inspiration for learning comes from movies. I’ll be watching a movie (or TV program or reading a book) and they’ll mention something, a country, religion, archeological find, strange happening, unusual weather phenomena etc and I’ll think, “hey, that sounds interesting!” My next stop will be the internet and/or my local library (aren’t libraries great!) and I’ll read and do research until I feel I know enough about the subject. That doesn’t mean I know everything about it, just what I need to satisfy myself. I’ve learned lots of amazing things this way and I never get tired of it, there’s always something else to learn about.

When I decided to write an article on magick I didn’t quite foresee what a difficult subject it was to write about.
Magick, (real magick, not the tricks that David Copperfield does) is still considered to be somewhat of a taboo subject. Even in this enlightened and supposedly free country, those who practice the ancient arts are ridiculed and persecuted.
