Reply:The belief in magick by children is stored in their "Baby" teeth. As these teeth drop away the child drifts away from a natural relationship with Magick. However, these baby teeth is what keeps Magick and its assorted creatures alive. This is why both tooth fairies and parents leave silver behind for the child and save the "Baby teeth."
