There was a time when people accepted magical experiences as natural. There were no priests then, and no one went chasing after the secrets of the occult.

About This Quote

There were no priests and no one went chasing after the secrets of the occult, meaning at that time there wasn't anyone to tell people that this was nonsense and that they could just go on their way. When we had a time as long as we’ve had now, where people accepted magic as natural, we didn’t need anyone to tell us about it. We can now read about it in books.
