<<<Magic is as ancient as time. The reason for it's unpopularity is the
fact
that it has been suppressed by Christianity for the past 2,000 years and
sent underground.>>>

"Magic is a convenient term to describe another's religion" Ralph
Piddington.

This statement undermines your whole thesis. ALL religion is a form of
magic. It is when we begin to create religious institutions and rituals,
and establish religious functionaries, that we begin to lose sight of and
depart from the essential spirituality which inspired them in the first
place.
