The spells of magic have always fascinated each and every child. In a child’s imagination, magic is associated with magicians, beautiful things, and mythical creatures. But as a child grows up, he realizes that these things are too far from reality. He begins to see that the world is not perfect, but cruel; not magical but practical. The question is, do we really know what magic is? Did we even research on how it came about? In this article, I will be tackling some issues on magic and the spells that go with it.
In the real world, magic is often viewed with suspicion by the wider community, and is commonly practiced in isolation and secrecy. They are not all the time associated with beautiful things, just as what we have learned when we were kids. Magic is the art of altering things either by supernatural means or through knowledge of natural laws not accepted by science. Practitioners of magic believe that there are things that cannot be explained by logic, whereas science fully bases its theories by direct or indirect observations, and should be logically explained.
Practitioners of magic are called magicians. The knowledge of magic may be passed down from one magician to another, usually by kin or apprenticeships. In some cultures, this knowledge may be bought or purchased.. Skilled magicians can appear to make flowers bloom in mid-air, cut women in half, conjure rabbits from top hats, escape from sealed tanks, and perform other feats.However, having magical knowledge per se is not an assurance of a magical power. Usually, a person should have magical objects or special traits in order to fully claim the title of a magician.
The concept of magic has been present in human culture for thousands of years. In the past, people who practiced magic often are venerated by people in the community because of the wide array of their services. These include removal of bad spells, health care, and many more.
While practitioners of magic were historically sometimes venerated, they were also feared. There was a time in the past when witches and other similar practitioners were punished, tortured or killed. People believed that the spells cast by these people are to be blamed for tragic events, such as famines and plagues.
Modern practitioners of magician still be found in many regions of the world. The practice of magic for these people may include spells, rituals, medication, and the creation of magical objects, charms, and similar tools.
Magic is a discipline in which people learn to physically manipulate their environment to create illusions. The practice of magic does not necessarily involve the harnessing of supernatural forces; it requires hard, focused work and years of study to be successful. To conclude, it is crystal clear that the spells of magic from the past continue to influence the present generation, regardless of the history attached to its practice. Furthermore, it is obvious that some people still believe in magic, despite the lack of any logical explanation.
