Without mysteries, life would be very dull indeed. What would be left to strive for if everything were known?

It is so easy for your people to forget that everything has a spirit, that all are equal. That magic and mystery are a part of your lives, not something to store away in a child's bedroom, or to use as an escape from your lives.
