And I'm going to have disagree with you, too.

How is it different? Both revere their totem/Passion. The methods of
worship are different, but what do you think spending several days in a
drug-altered haze communing with your totem is? It seems to me to be a
form of worship.

Bullocks. In the ED Companion, it specifically states that many Adepts
become Questors (after 5th circle, usually). They are given powers, sure,
but what do you think shamans think their spells are? Perhaps a more
accurate analogy would be the nature priests from Germany, but I always
classify them as shamans, anyway (my fault, there).
