A belief in magic as a means of influencing the world seems to have been common in all cultures. There was considerable overlap between beliefs and practices that were religious and those that were magical, such that their mutual influence was significant. In many cases it becomes difficult or impossible to draw any meaningful line between beliefs and practices that are magical versus those that are religious. Communal rites and celebrations contained elements of both religion and magic. Over time, especially within the specific religious context of western monotheism as expressed in the Abrahamic religions, religiously-based supernatural events ("miracles") acquired their own flavor, and became separated in those religious worldviews from standard magic. Some religions today, such as Neopagan religions, still embrace their connections to magic, while others retain only distant echoes and sometime using religious jewelry.

For me, the real magic is to change the person with bad behavior becomes a person with good behaves . The good magic is knowledge, gained from books. We can read books in a library or buy book online. Or we can read free pdf ebook ( ebook with pdf format ) from cyber space. And the most valuable magic is a wisdom from insight.
