	Welcome to the Grey School, a Wizard school for kids and adults alike!
		The Grey School of Wizardry is an outgrowth of the Grey Council, an assembly of two dozen mages and sages.
		Council members follow many different paths, and may have orientations and perspectives that differ from each other, but they all hope to spark the imagination, beauty, and power of the minds of seekers everywhere.
		For example, several Grey Council members are part of the Las-Vegas-based "Mystery School," and world-famous master stage magician Jeff "Magnus" McBride has offered to create some special conjury magic retreats just for teens.

	Welcome to the Grey School of Wizardry
		“The Grey Council” is the legendary Council of Wizards, Mages and Sages which has been a recurring theme through many tales and histories of Magick and Wizardry.
		The “Grey” in the name connotes both the notion of encompassing all shades of magick (rather than just black and white), as well as the grey in our hair and beards that would seem to be a requisite for the experience and wisdom we are expected to bring to this Council!
		The following members of the Grey Council are not just elders of the magickal community; we are also all teachers and mentors.

	"The Maggid of Mezritch" Chapter 4 - A Stronghold in Mezritch
		Confronting the breakdown of the authority of the Torah and its Sages, the Maggid's emissaries restored the discipline that was lost with the dissolution of the Council of the Four Lands, harnessing the unifying power of Chassidus.
		As long as the Council of the Four Lands was capable of materially aiding the masses through its public service, its spiritual leadership was effective.
		In further erosion of rabbinic power in Poland and Lithuania, the Council of the Four Lands, which had worked on Jewry's behalf since the 1500s, was dissolved in 1762.

	"Who is Right and Who is Wrong?" - December 24, 2004 - Thinking Aloud - Rabbi Rafael G. Grossman
		United Torah Judaism, governed by its Moatzei Gedolei Torah, the Council of Torah Sages, has presumably already approved the withdrawal plans, thus enabling this party to become part of the Sharon-Labor coalition.
		Rav Shapiro’s ruling created a storm of anger, but with the even more pious Council of Torah Sages and the halachic Torah giant, Rabbi Yosef, approving their constituents’ participation in Sharon's government, Rav Shapiro’s edict is now meaningless.
		The NRP is now the only religious party in the opposition, but Sharon no longer needs the NRP because he has the approbation of the Council of Torah Sages and the leadership of Torah observant Sephardim.

		ventually, only days before the election, Agudat Yisrael's Council of Torah Sages called on its followers to vote for the candidate "whose party [would be] more likely to work in the spirit of religion and Jewish tradition." The wording was ambiguous, but had only one interpretation--Netanyahu.
