Facts: Sadyk (also spelled Sadak) was the Phoenician god of justice, father of the mysterious fertility demons known as the Cabiri and Dioscuri. In Tibetan Buddhism, the sadak are deities dwelling on the Earth. In the film The Blue Wand, a thirteen-year-old boy named James asks his Grandfather about a tree branch displayed on the mantelpiece. "His Grandfather explains that it is a magic wand he bought in a market in Cairo when he was a young sailor on one of his many trips to the Middle East during the war. To make the wand work he must say the Arabic word of sadyk, which means friend." When James tries saying the magic word, "The wand starts humming and glows with a strange blue light. . . . A blue laser-like light shoots towards the wall and a little blue spot starts growing until the whole wall is a window to another world, with its edges glowing blue. Through the window James can see the trees of a forest through a fine mist. James grabs the wand and . . . crosses through the window to the forest on the other side. Here he is greeted by an Old man and some villagers, all dressed in old-fashioned Arabian clothes. They hail James as the young prince who has come to free them from the evil wizard who rules the Crystal City."4 1 Lewis de Claremont, The Ancient's Book of Magic (1940) 2 George Raywood Devitt, Home Lover's Library (1906) Reginald A.
