The following is from Wikipedia.....The term "Horcrux" is author J.K. Rowling's invention, though its similarities to other words manage to evoke suggestions of horror, pain, and alienness. However, the concept behind the Horcrux is not original to the world of Harry Potter. The idea of concealing one's soul in an external object to gain immortality has appeared in the mythology of many cultures and dates back thousands of years. The tales of Koschei the Deathless from Russian mythology are examples of such items existing in myth — although Koschei did not utilise multiple containers, nor retain a part of the soul in his body. Further examples exist in Indian folk-tales, where evil sorcerers evade death by sealing their spirit inside parrots, becoming invulnerable until someone destroys the parrot.........."Im not saying the ability to do this ever was or is still around ,But it was interesting to learn that the idea did not originate with Harry Potter,and J.K Rowlings.Although to be honest Ive been unable to find any proof in any of the hystory mentioned,but its caught my attention now so Ill continue to look....Hey Im just curious?Jinx I wouldnt be too sure about Balance being able to look into your soul.After all my name roughly translated means Soul Searcher?....just my 2 cnts
lol wastedenergy. This whole horkrux thing just sounds rediculous. Personally, I have split personality (i hate admitting it but i deal with it) and they (the persona's i have) are almost completly incapable of leaving for extended periods of time (ex: astral projection)
Anyways, the point i'm trying to get at, is the same as Jah's. When you can truely "split" the soul, then something like this would seem plausible. Even with my 4 personalities, i couldn't pull this off. It just seems to far fetched.
Jinx, you need to quit selling people short of their abilities as well. It's very easy to look into someones soul with some practice, just as it takes A LOT of practice to guard against such things. Don't think you are all powerful, as there is always someone more powerful, more talented, and better at things then you are. This realization is what we adults call, growing up and accepting who you are for what/who you are becoming.
I agree with you totally Silver Vixen,and I have also learned ,when dealing with others that practice Magick,a little RESPECT will often go a long way..

first of all, learn your spelling. its spelled horcrux not horkrux. secondly, why on earth would you want to split your soul? OH, is it because you want to be just like harry potter??
