   Of course, but belief in those things is just as antiquated and silly   
   (to my mind) as a belief in "magick." And - at any rate - the Bible -for   
   all its obvious faults and flaws - is a rough (if borrowed and often   
   self-contradictory) sort of philosophy with very real effects in the   
   world, and not a few people wearing robes and trying to make the trees   
   talk. "Magick" - as a movement - has nothing to show for its existence   
   but a few moon-worhippers and a New Age crystal shoppe at the mall.
