Yes I said it.... MacGyver. Just hear me out now - I know he may not officially be deemed an "Occultist", but in my eyes he's got the qualities of a great one - at the very least an under the radar embodiment of an archetype we can all look up to. Allow me to explain :
MacGyver ... - "MY GIVER" - is the coolest, most righteous, selfless, grounded, amazing dude. The show captivated millions of people...Yet he's not anything like what we identify with "popular" culture. He's an icon, a very rare type of person. In the show he is a true explorer, a self motivated learner / seeker of knowledge, a do-gooder, has an aversion to Drugs, Alcohol, Guns, and Violence - and IS vegetarian if I'm not mistaken.
He works for the "Pheonix corporation" - for those who don't know the story of the Pheonix - the Phenoix rises from the ashes - from the despair, hopelessness, tragedy, sickness, etc is transformed and becomes a symbol of redemption, new beginnings, new life.
Furthermore - he has a PASSING knowledge of Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, etc... He is a true magician - making the MOST of his surroundings. He is a lover of the arts, music, and is passionate about taking care of the environment.
His relationships with people are ALWAYS genuine and he cares deeply about the GOOD people around him. His romantic relationships are fleeting, yet always end on a positive note. Any girl he's with happens to be there for the right time and the right reasons, and he always manages to remain friends with them afterwards.
He is not afraid to fight malevolence with the same amount of INTENSITY as his opposition, whatever they bring to the table in evilness, he bring with goodness. He never does any "needless" damage to his enemy.. He makes sure they learn their lesson - no more, no less.
He lives in very luxurious / yet transient housing. A house boat if I'm not mistaken. He has enough money to get very awesome things to suit his lifestyle, yet "how" he gets his money is very vague and mostly left out. We notice he never gets "paid" for any of his work, material things just sort of "come" to him.
MacGyver's hair style - the "mullet" - is an ancient symbol of wisdom and prosperity - knowing how to blend in and be one with society "business in the front", yet knowing everyone needs a break now and then and cutting loose is ok "party in the back"...
- OOOK I made that last part up... idk what his mullet means...
but In short - MacGyver is awesome. - A truly awesome dude... quite possibly America's first "accidental" TV star Occultist, and a guy who I think is totally sweet.
Thanks for reading! : )
