USA: 'The Magi'. Oil on canvas painting by Henry Siddons Mowbray (5 August 1858 - 13 January 1928), c. 1915. Magi (Latin plural of magus; English singular magian, mage, magus, magusian, magusaean) is a term, used since at least the 4th century BCE, to denote followers of Zoroaster, or rather, followers of what the Hellenistic world associated Zoroaster with, which was - in the main - the ability to read the stars, and manipulate the fate that the stars foretold.
