Magiër / Magician (2) (22.09.2020) (← terug)
Magie of toverij is de vermeende kunst van het manipuleren van de werkelijkheid met behulp van speciale objecten, spreuken en rituelen op basis van verborgen krachten. Mensen die in magie geloven, zijn ervan overtuigd dat het een oplossing biedt voor problemen met bijvoorbeeld vruchtbaarheid, gezondheid, veiligheid en het liefdesleven en dat het meer controle geeft over de natuur en het menselijk leven. Magie kan net als religie en wetenschap het wereldbeeld van een bepaald volk op een bepaald tijdstip mede bepalen. wikipedia.org

Magic is the practice of beliefs, rituals and/or actions which are said to control and manipulate, either natural or supernatural, beings and forces.[1] Typically, magic is categorised as independent from both religion and science, due to its various beliefs and practices.
Individuals who engage in magical practices are referred to as either magicians or witches. Although, connotations have varied from positive to negative at times throughout history, magic “continues to have an important religious and medicinal role in many cultures today”. wikipedia.org
