weird (adj.)
c. 1400,
• "having power to control fate", from wierd (n.), from Old English wyrd "fate, chance, fortune; destiny; the Fates," literally "that which comes,"
• from Proto-Germanic wurthiz (cognates: Old Saxon wurd, Old High German wurt "fate," Old Norse urðr "fate, one of the three Norns"),
• from PIE wert- "to turn, to wind," (cognates: German werden, Old English weorðan "to become"),
• from root wer- (3) "to turn, bend" (see versus).
• For sense development from "turning" to "becoming," compare phrase turn into "become."

To continue with an unrelated thought.
I think I've realized what may be one possible barrier for me in magic although I haven't thought it through in detail yet. On the one hand I am hesitant to believe that everyone can do magic because I don't want to be in a situation where others are more magically powerful than me since I'm currently magically weak. Seems dangerous.
On the other hand I have deep tendencies toward egalitarianism and tending to see the same rules that apply to others as applying to me.
As a result I think there's a conflict that makes it much tougher to do magic.

Same here. I think in some spiritual sense we must have similar background. I can relate to what you're saying almost all the time.
