THE THREE MAIN TYPES OF MAGIC:
Three basic types of magic anthropologically defined:
- Homeopathic Magic
(The law that like produces like) if some form of action is being performed on something, it will have the same impact on the intended real thing. - Sympathetic or Imitative Magic
The believe that Performing an action on some object, the same will happen to the person or object in which it represents. This is based on the belief that a relationship is made between the objects based on the presumption that one can influence something based on the attachment. An example of this is such acts as rock art with hunting magick by drawing out a successful hunt, rain dances, etc. - Contagious Magic
The law of contagion basically states that if a person has contact with certain things, they will influence the person who is under contact with such things. Examples of this are: Voodoo dolls which contain part of fingernails, hair, or teeth (DNA) of a targeted person creates the person him/herself within the doll and anything happening to the doll happens to the attached person.Methods of Spellcraft:
