Yer itis of importance in the discipline of scthropology. Curiously enough, magic has grey intigued eth- ‘noginphers cn acroant ofthe strangeness of ie practices ia all pate fof the world, while atthe same time it has been frowned upon by ‘hem as being hardly susceptible to eleaie study and xs repognant to aligcn andthe socal order. Yet witeherafe used 9 be widespread in the west world, and even atthe Court of Louis XIV and in the sage of Volaie; it has not died out even today. "Thece wed to be some confusion of religion and meplc it being shoughe tha the later was simply 2 primitive form of zligion. We Jkgow bemer aow, and cen disunguish berveen religion, which ie sulmision to an mighty Crestor to whom ve mise ovr prayers, and -maie which consss of srs intended to compel super forces, ‘whatever they may be, to do the sorcerer’s bidding, "We mrt admit thar almost all tbe eigious ideas of primitive peoples ae comprived in magic.
