Books are a uniquely portable magic

• 
• Sacred texts are treated with respect; they are never placed directly on the floor, nor touched with feet or dirty hands.
• Prayers are often recited before using or consulting them.
• Texts are often wrapped in silk cloth.
• Sometimes they are placed in a shrine and offered worship.
• Ancient texts were etched on leaves, such as palm.
• Books are used for recitation, personal study, theological training,  (see Other Forms of Worship) and consultation on matters of spiritual and secular law.
• 

• Sacred texts are sources of:

  1. Philosophical concepts
  2. Information on personal values
  3. Practical injunctions
  4. Story and myth
  5. Prayers and mantras
  6. Details of worship/liturgy
  7. Various arts and sciences
