Conversations on Spirits and Monsters

What is genuine Chinese Taoist magic? Is it really just drawing talismans, refining elixirs, setting up formations to catch ghosts, and summoning gods to subdue demons? No! In ancient times, when Taoism flourished, countless arts of the Dao came together. Those who mastered them could ride dragons through heaven and earth, summon clouds with one hand and rain with the other; gather herbs and refine elixirs to attain immortality and live as long as heaven and earth; change the color of heaven and earth and make gods and ghosts bow with a single talisman; summon divine thunder from the Ninth Heaven with an altar, or move mountains and fill seas with an ancient formation...

But now Taoism has declined, and many of its arts have been lost. Practitioners of the Dao are growing ever fewer. Why is that?
