“He who 'makes' real things is he who knows the secret of making them.”
Mircea Eliade book The Forge and the Crucible
The Forge and the Crucible (1956).
Context: In virtue of this, the artisan is a connoisseur of secrets, a magician; thus all crafts include some kind off initiation and are handed down by an occult tradition. He who 'makes' real things is he who knows the secret of making them.
