Our ancestors also compel us
\nto learn our history, especially important for the magi. Just a brief survey of
\nyour ancestral culture is most likely to unearth a rich magical tradition. We
\nhave been led to believe that our current societies had been swiftly converted
\nto monolithic faiths, instantly erasing eons of animist and pagan traditions.
\nNothing can be further from the truth. Vestiges of the old ways live on
\neverywhere if you know where to look for them. From Catholic grandmothers
\nburying statues of saints in the yard, to Baptist hoodoo practitioners driving
\naway evil spirits with salt, to the seer stone used by Joseph Smith in the
\nfounding of the Church of Later Day Saints, the magick of our ancestors
\ncontinues. <\/p>\n
If you dig a little
\ndeeper, you find that many of our traditions come from much older, pagan roots.
\nMany Catholic saints were once pagan gods or folk heroes. Our holidays correspond
\nwith celebrations of our pagan ancestors. All of them believed in magick. Your
