Almost all of the supposed magickal lore that's presented on this
group and others of a similar nature is a modern synthesis of
true magical lore and the physical science paradigm.

Magick as a kind of technology, often requiring physical objects
and processes to manifest itself. It became something apart from
nature and the self, a tool to be utilized like a hammer or a
loom. Manipulation became the purpose of magick, of people and
things.

Originally, people knew that magick was the way the universe worked,
that they and the rest of creation _were_ magickal.

What is the _real_ first step towards learning magick?

Basic meditation. Described in a thousand books and a thousand
websites.

So, who were these 'original people'?
