The word magic comes from the Latin magic, which in turn is derived from a Greek word, whose main meaning is " fact contrary to natural laws." This is an art whose main objective is to surprise people by manipulating the perception of things, using words or movements that confuse the human brain and give the feeling of supernatural acts. People who practice this art are called magicians.
Just as magic is usually associated with acts performed to impress an audience, it has a broader and more complex concept in which many beliefs are embedded.
Magic existed for many centuries BC in the world and many of the magicians who practiced it were found in Rome, Greece and almost the entire eastern and western world, the latter were well known for performing fertility rites, especially in China. Although magic and sorcery were closely linked to the eastern peoples, countries such as Greece or Rome gained great recognition, because there their magicians practiced the art of divination, for which they were consulted by people from all over the world. It was these who created and promoted the readings of the future through tarot cards. This activity was very frequent in the Modern Era.
Like all practices in the world, this one has a good and a bad side and this is that this art is divided into white magic and black magic. White magic has as its main function the well-being of individuals and those who practice it perform their spells and incantations in order to achieve health, ward off evil and bad luck, as well as everything that can hurt a person. This was the official magic for many historical eras.
For its part, black magic is composed of all the spells that seek to negatively affect the well-being of an individual and their luck, thus affecting their health, causing accidents or the loss of their possessions, among other misfortunes.
Likewise, magic has many classes that seek to perform supernatural acts in people's lives, among which are: chactas, alibamones, Santeria, shamanism, voodoo, candomblé (Brazilian voodoo), spiritism, the wicca, among other classes that seek to elevate the experiences of the human being, either worshiping God or worshiping the Devil.
