svaha:
You quote Paracelsus: "Magic has the power to experience and fathom things which are inaccessible to human reason. For Magic is a great secret wisdom, just as reason is a great public folly". This is an interesting quote, yet I need not remind you Paracelsus was ALSO a XVII century version of a con man.
I'd rather see magic the way of Arthur C. Clarke: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
About your site:
1) I like a lot your choice of palette. These shadows of green are an absolut delight for the eyes.
2) If I were you, in the blocks xcGallery and Partners I'd center the images in the block.
3) I'd also put another title to XCgallery. That's the name of the module, but that need not be your section's name.
4) The spelling should be "Miscellaneous", I think.
5) Save your logo using a background with the same color as the one set in the header table, to get rid of the ugly white spikes.
Other than this, congratulations on your new site!
Cheers.
