And by means of the stars
(people) are guided"
وَعَلَمَاتٍ وَبِالنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ
Quran, An Nahl 16.16
MAGOS means "WISE MAN" according to ancient Eastern traditions. In ancient Persian, MAGOS refers to "an achiever".
The Latin derivative "MAGIS" encapsulates a magisterial way of thinking that enables virtuous actions.
Throughout the ages, the Magi have stood as timeless models of inspiration, a revered caste that the world's elite aspires to emulate. In our modern era, the etymology of the term MAGOS resonates deeply with renowned figures and unsung heroes, distinguished by their altruism, generosity, and unwavering commitment to addressing the challenges of our contemporary world. It is those values of Universal Fraternity that the Magos Foundation wishes to diffuse.
