The robes, stupid hat and walking stick look came from Gandalf who was inspired by Odin.

Also maybe Moses.

Take a break, it's already stale

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

Monks, priests, philosophers, astrologers, alchemists. Any smart dude of history really.
People of the modern day are simply too stupid to realise that robes are stylish and comfy as fuck.

Old men.

Mysticism was huge in the middle east and most wizardy folk lore has it's origins there. The western equivalent is shamanism and witchcraft.

The contrast of the Germanic wanderer-wizard and Israelite sorcerer-king is interesting. I wonder if Tolkien was drawing on it.
