Windhoek Mystery - Magic Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Knagur Green: Due to the logs and information provided in them since last year along with the NA that has brought this cache to my attention, I feel that it will be prudent to archive the listing to prevent further cachers disturbing the owners of the private property it is placed on without permission.
It is pointless disabling it, awaiting replacement , as the location needs written approval from the pastor, which seems unlikely. Please note the following guideline which I have placed in bold. The rest of the guideline can be found here https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#location
Get permission
By submitting a cache page, you agree that you have all necessary permissions from the landowner or land manager to hide your geocache at that location.
If we receive complaints or become aware that a cache is in an inappropriate location, even if not prohibited by law, it may be disabled or archived.

Should you decided that it is possible to move your cache to a nearby location that is off private property and still abides by the guidelines and does not change the experience of the cache, please contact me via my profile within 30 days and I will unarchive the cache listing for you.
Thank you for understanding

Geocache Description:

This cache is in more ways than one magical! If you can read this you are on the right track.

Magic is the art of producing a desired effect or result through the use of incantation or various other techniques that presumably assure human control of supernatural agencies or the forces of nature. Magic has been practiced in many cultures, and utilizes ways of understanding, experiencing and influencing the world somewhat akin to those offered by religion, though it is sometimes regarded as more focused on achieving results than religious worship.Magic is often viewed with suspicion by the wider community, and is commonly practiced in isolation and secrecy.
The cache is @ S22*33.886 E017*05.155
Through late 14th century Old French magique, the word "magic" derives via Latin magicus from the Greek adjective magikos (μαγικός) used in reference to the "magical" arts of the Magicians (Greek: magoi, singular mágos, μάγος); the Zoroastrian astrologer priests. Greek mágos is first attested in Heraclitus (6th century BC, apud. Clement Protrepticus 12) who curses the Magians and others for their "impious rites". Likewise, sorcery was taken in ca. 1300 from Old French sorcerie, which is from Vulgar Latin *sortiarius, from sors "fate", apparently meaning "one who influences fate".
The cache is under some rocks
