Magic isa practice which has come down to us from our forefathers. It is not merely a belief or a piece of man's intellectual apparatus, but an art in which theory and dogma are at every step translated into action. It is distinctly a human art, in that it is practiced only by man and for his benefit. At the same time it involves a recognition of the supernatural; a belief in magic, wielded by man, to influence the forces of the outside world; of nature, that is. Magic on its traditional side is linked, by mythology, with the dim past of gods and heroes, with the very history of the race. Every act of magic is linked with, and characterized by, things said and done by the person officiating. The fundamental acts are the spell, the rite, and, although not an act, the condition of the performer himself. The spell, the uttering of certain words according to a formula is everywhere regarded as the outstanding part of the magical art. The virtue of the magic lies primarily in the formula, which, in some cases is believed to have been handed from immemorial antiquity. (np)
