“Magic” is an attempt to understand experience and influence the world using rituals, symbols actions, gestures and language. Modern theories of magic may see it as the result of a universal sympathy where some act can produce a result somewhere else, or as collaboration with spirits who cause the effect. Magical rituals are the precisely clear actions used to work magic. Magic often utilizes symbols that are thought to be intrinsically effective. The performance of magic almost always involves the use of language.

Another potential source of the power of words is their secrecy and exclusivity. The possession of magical knowledge alone may be insufficient to grant magical power; often a person must also possess certain magical objects, traits or life experiences in order to be a magician. In non-scientific societies, perceived magical attack is an idea sometimes employed to explain personal or societal misfortune. The belief in and the practice of magic has been present since the earliest human cultures and continues to have an important spiritual, religious and medicinal role in many cultures today. Magic is often viewed with suspicion by the wider community, and is sometimes practiced in isolation and secrecy. The concept of magic as a category separate from religion was first widely recognized in Judaism, which derided as magic the practices of pagan worship designed to appease and receive benefits from gods.  Hanegraaff argues that magic is in fact "a largely polemical concept that has been used by various religious interest groups either to describe their own religious beliefs or to discredit those of others.
