How does Magic relate to modern religion?
Magic is at the foundation of all religious practice – all of the rituals found in modern religions have their roots in Magic. In prior times, the shaman, magician or medicine man was the creator of religious rituals. Today, priests can perform those rituals but only magicians can create new ones. In addition, you will find many parallels between religious doctrines and Rules of the Road. For instance, compare the Golden Rule with this Rule of the Road: Whatever is done to the environment or to other beings in the environment for whatever reason brings similar effect to the doer, whether she or he is trained or not.
