= = = The Lord of the Rings: Gandalf =

Examples of mystics in modern day film are Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings because he is constantly using his wisdom to drop hints at the other characters and kind of lead them in the right direction without doing everything for them. Gandalf also fights off the Balrog as the others flee. He uses magic to turn the King of Rohan back to his normal young self when Sarumon has him under his control. = = = = = = = = = = = Greek Mythology: Pythia = == An example of mysticism in Greek mythology is in Pythia, who was an oracle or a prophet that people would seek answers from. Pythia herself was the prophetess of Apollo at Delphi. A Delphic Oracle sits on a very ancient seat of prophecy at Delphi which was originally called Pytho. In historical times, Apollo had possession of the oracle.
