What is Magic
Magic can be hard to describe, it is an art, a science, a force and a skill. It is the power that binds the multiverse together, the spark of power given to us by Ein Sof so we could realize the great work.
A small tale
A werewolf friend of mine once told me a tale, it went as follow;
When the Maker created the world, separating it from its infinity, he called every creature to his side. One by one, he gave them a Name, which came with abilities and duties. So, coyote was made a cunning trickster, bear was made strong and powerful while stag was made proud and quick.
Last to be called, was mankind. When they appeared before the maker, he gave them their name and abilities yet he refused to give them a sacred role within creation. For long, mankind was unhappy and all the sons and daughters of man assembled at the palace of the Maker.
"Oh, maker. Please tell us, what have we done to bring forth your hatred? What shall we do to atone for our sins?" One of the human asked the Maker which in turn answered. "What has made you think that I hold a grudge against you son of man?"
"But Maker, if you held no grudge, why would you have endowed us with so little power? Why have we been made weaker than bear, slower than cheetah and not as cunning as fox? Why have we been denied a role within creation?"
By hearing the claims of mankind, the creator could not help but laugh and laugh. After a long moment where mankind stood in silence as the crystalline laughter of their creator filled the air, the Maker finally deigned to explain itself.
"My children, if I have not endowed you quite as well as your cousins is because I hold you capable enough to rise above those limitation."
"But what about our duty?"
"I never have meant it as an insult or a sign of my displeasure. What I truly intended was that since Man lacked a duty, they would be free to make their own, to find their own goals and path."
With that, the Maker asked the assembled sons and daughters of man to leave and when all left its palace, the abode of the maker faded away. That night, the children of man slept with a heavy heart, knowing that the maker had left them to find their own destiny yet as the land fell into the embrace of sleep, the wisest of man dreamed together.
In their sleep, they saw a great door and heard the voice of their maker. "Come." It said."I will be waiting for you in the next world. When morning came, the first shaman had awoken and the great work began"
