		Orphism is unlike most religious traditions we have studied ---it had no fixed sites, no sanctuaries or temples, no cult statues.
		Orphism had a distinctive message that was meant for the individual and was universal, ideas not popular in an era when worship was communal and the gods were tied to particular locations and to the various city states (Guthrie 250-51).
		Though Orphism shared some elements with other movements like the Elusinian mysteries and the cult of Mithras, notably the focus on the afterlife and the idea of rebirth, it differed from them in many respects, requiring study of complicated dogma and adoption of a rigidly ascetic lifestyle.

		"Orphism is said to have taught that the soul and body are united by an unequal compact; the soul is divine, immortal and aspires to freedom, while the body holds it imprisoned.
		Death dissolves this compact, but only to re-imprison the liberated soul after a short time; for the wheel of birth revolves relentlessly.
		(Indeed, Pythagoras was also said to have adopted the idea, current in Scythia and Thrace under the title of Orphism, of a process of bilocation, according to which the soul could be temporarily detached from the body.) This redemptive purification would enable the soul to achieve harmony with the order and proportion of the universe.

		The air wraps the Earth, as it is in the Hesiod’s Theogony,[2] but the fertilizing power in the orphism is the water, which is also purifying.

		Likewise, the critiques of Theophrastus, Plato, or Euripides' Theseus against those who look to Orpheus must be compared with the claims on the 'Orphic' gold tablets or Euripides' Cretans.
		For both 'magic' and 'Orphism', we can distinguish self-definitions of special status from the constructions by others of these categories of abnormal practice.
		Both of these types of ancient constructs, however, differ significantly from modern constructs of 'magic' and 'Orphism'.
