Magi
The ancient Greek historians so termed the hereditary priests among the Persians and Medians. The word is derived from mog or mag, signifying priest in the Pehlevi language. The Illuminati first introduced the word into Masonry, and employed it in the nomenclature of their degrees to signify men of superior wisdom.
