Thought I'd throw in a bible verse. There are tons on this subject, but 22:18 is the most well-known.
The magician or shaman would typically live alone outside the village, in order to preserve the magical mystique of his powers. In return for his protection, the village would collectively care for him (frequently shamans were men) by bringing him food daily. As the shaman became older, he would usually choose a young boy to train as his successor.

The bible contains several warnings against practicing magic, most famously in Exodus 22:18, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."
