Magic Spells
A spell is by definition an act that has its roots in paranormal or magical grounds and affects reality using liturgical or ritual means. Spells differ in two important ways, when they are meant to see into the future they are called augury or divination but when their purpose is to put someone in control they are called incantations or enchantments. From ancient times spells have been a major component of Pagan religions and can still be found today in some; however Islam and Christianity strictly forbid these practices.
Magic spells originated in the Neolithic period when magic was a common belief and has been around for thousands of years practiced in acceptance and in clandestine locations. Magic is viewed as taboo by many countries and people and practitioners have been persecuted especially in Christian areas and in some past era’s .Fortunately nowadays, magic is protected by the freedom of belief act which is active in most of the countries in the world.
