Are you a shaman?

Just something I read and liked a lot and wanted to share . . .

"I believe that magic is art, and that art, whether that be music, writing, sculpture, or any other form, is literally magic. Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images, to achieve changes in consciousness… Indeed to cast a spell is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change peoples consciousness, and this is why I believe that an artist or writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world to a shaman."

Sometimes we forget to consider what our written words might do when a reader absorbs them. What is the effect? Is is magic? Did you not remember that you have this kind of power?
