When you think of magic, you often think of great hand-bound tomes with pages of crackling parchment, illuminated with mysterious symbols hand-drawn on the page. When you think of ancient religion, you often think of paintings marked on the walls of caves or tombs, strange figures and stranger writing. As long as man has been able to find pigments and an appropriate surface, he has made pictures....and, eventually, the symbols that became words. Finally, he created the ultimate in portable art and knowledge, be they scrolls, codexes, books, or paintings. We keep those old arts alive, because the Muse never sleeps and when she is upon you, you would mark in your own blood if you had to. Ink runs in our veins and our skin is parchment, and we draw Life as it should be.
