Ep 17: The Untold History of Magic
“For myth changes while custom remains constant; men continue to do what their did before them, though the reasons on which their fathers acted have been long forgotten. The history of religion is a long attempt to reconcile old custom with new reason, to find a sound theory for an absurd practice.” ― James George Frazer, The Golden Bough
In this episode I talk about how limited the history of magic has been documented and researched by magicians and what I hope to accomplish through various projects such as Emanations.
