Magic, notably ancient magic, are always forbidden topics, right?
And the Witch Trials in Europe and many subsequent events, nobody
wanna talk about it anymore. And the Dark Age.

We have science gadgets that mimic magic. I doubt you can ever
find out much about the true, authentic history of magic, let
alone learning to become a real magician.

But, you can find discussion of magic in movies, animations and 
cartoons. Would those productions be burnt like witches?

I dunno and I do not prophetize .... ;)
