My point was not so much to tie smithing to religion but to show how ancient it is and that it has always been tied to a spiritual experience. I've found that many times - maybe more times than not - metal will move or shape in a way that it's somehow meant to do. Try to line up blade with wood or antler and you find that there's only one that will work right. When a blade is done, it's something more than the iron and wood that you started with.
