“…the term magic comes from the Greek word magos. Magos referred to "a member of a learned and priestly class." Magos itself is derived from the Old Persian word magush, meaning "be able" or "have power.”
If we understand the notion that individuals can use techniques to influence the mental realm, which ultimately leads to real-world effects, we can understand how magic can be used as a tool. And if we take a look through history, we see how this power has been wielded.
When we realize that magic is simply techniques to consciously affect reality, we see that there are many techniques they can use to conduct reality. One of these techniques is the arts, which have been used to shape societies and empires for millennia.
So at this point, we're at a crossroads in our perspective of reality. We have this orthodox view that's been told that "this is how the world works." You know we vote, governments make changes, we pay taxes, etc., etc. However, look at this unorthodox view of reality. In that case, we live in an oligarchical society that uses the government as a front to paint the mental illusion of choice. We have the arts, education, and media to reinforce this illusion of reality, and this manifests as the society that we live in.
