Remember that:

"I divine the coming rains by charging my silver-staff with the silent and invisible songs of the heavens.

I then perform a ritual of translation to inscribe these hymns into vernacular."

Is exact the same as:

"I collect meteorological data by using a QFH antenna to recieve telemetry from weather satellites on the 137MHz band.

I then load the recording in SatDump to decode the signal into a usable data-set."

Shamanism never died, the tools of its practice merely evolved.

We are, by all means, still living in a mythical world.
