From Christopher Knowles: On Sorcery (and lies)

The world is powered by sorcerers and not scientists. Despite what the aging acolytes of the Enlightenment might wish, computers have only strengthened the power of the supernatural on this world. We've just been conditioned by Harry Potter and Hollywood to think that spirits are ghosts, demons have horns and tails, and magic is all just hocus-pocus. A lot of people tend not to realize that we are dealing with forces and energies here, not cartoon characters. Forces taken extremely seriously throughout our history, by men with far more brains, discernment and life-experience than any of our current crop of over-privileged academic idiots could even dream of.

... shamans could be easily identified in the former Soviet Union. During the communist era, shamans were prosecuted mercilessly. Just possessing a drum or a shaman's mirror could mean the owner's death. That way, the shamanic tradition was almost eradicated. Shamans were thrown out of airplanes; cynically, one wanted them to demonstrate their soul's flight. The shamans had a strong influence on the population and therefore inhibited the socialist machinery of power. Only few shamans survived this period. Today, the Siberian peoples recollect and revive the old, almost extinct tradition. The drum's rhythm and the shamanic chant sound undisturbed again and form a bridge between reality and otherworld.
