Pragmatic Magical Thinking : Real Magic Explained

Reclaiming magic and magical thought in the modern, mainstream world

The modern Western world has often raised its eyebrows at magic, associating it with madness and superstition. However, this ignores the fact of the matter that magic is a universal human experience which has existed in a multitude of forms across time and space.
