He’s all you need to know, to understand why real magic gets buried by greed and attention seeking.
Sometimes the greed becomes so popular that it’s untouchable.
Like Buddhism or Catholicism.
Although, Cholita likes both of those…
They comfort her.
Meanwhile, sorcery is definitely not “comforting”.
It’s quite disturbing.
Because you daily get to gaze at the second attention, and you come to realize that most of reality is unfathomable.
But the phony sorcery authors try to convince you otherwise.
They try to turn real magic, back into “cozy”. Because cozy sells books.
Disturbing drives people away.
