Magic and religion
Magical thinking in various forms is a cultural universal and an important aspect of religion.Magic is prevalent in all societies, regardless of whether they have organized religion or more general systems of animism or shamanism.Religion and magic became conceptually separated with the development of western monotheism, where the distinction arose between supernatural events sanctioned by mainstream religious doctrine (miracles) and magic rooted in folk belief or occult speculation.In pre-monotheistic religious traditions, there is no fundamental distinction between religious practice and magic; tutelary deities concerned with magic are sometimes called hermetic deities or spirit guides.
