On June 17th in “Persona 3 Reload,” players are treated to a captivating magic lesson with Mr. Edogawa. He kicks off the session with an intriguing demon summoning spell, “Palas Aron Azinomas,” before diving into the rich tapestry of magic’s origins. He traces magic back to the nascent days of human civilization, revealing its roots in primitive religions. However, amidst his enthralling lecture, which spans witches to paganism, Mr. Edogawa pauses to test your knowledge with a sudden classroom question.
“What early religious practice was the origin of magic?”
Mr. Edogawa’s lesson hints at magic’s birth from early religious rites, yet he stops short of naming any specific tradition. He’s curious if you can pinpoint the practice he’s alluded to but not explicitly covered. The choices he presents are:
- Totemism
- Animism
- Shamanism
Indeed, the correct answer is “Shamanism.” Nailing this question not only boosts your in-game Charm but also leaves your peers in awe of your profound knowledge.
Although shamanism and magic may not be tested on your final exams, discussing them is an enjoyable diversion into a fascinating subject. For those interested in exploring further, shamanism is believed to have ancient origins, with evidence dating back to cave paintings in Lascaux, France that are over 17,000 years old. One of these paintings portrays a figure wearing a bird’s head, which is thought to represent a shaman. It’s a thought-provoking realization that without these early practitioners, the world of magic, from the street performances of David Blaine to the grand illusions of Siegfried and Roy, would be vastly different.
So, with that final nugget of knowledge, consider today’s lesson concluded. Whether for academic curiosity or personal enlightenment, the exploration of shamanism offers a bridge to humanity’s mystical past.
