Abstract

Magic is an attempt to affect people or events either by cheating and charlatanry means or by expecting devil powers in order to bring advantage or to avoid a harm or to bring harm to others or to for see the future and divition .

     Magic is either real by the devil like writing majic works to prevent the marriage of someone and to depart the husband and his wife , causing someone to be distressed the physical and nervous diseases and stopping the stories and the project; majic can be artificial by being intellect and legerdemain and different types of triks and to cancel the magic by using magic or by protecting the self by using Talismans as well as presenting or offering sacrificers to the masters and the devil, all these are by using magic because it is exploiting the devil.

      Majic is condueted by repeating some specific terma or expressions or doing some specific works or both of them , including directing curses or using Talismans or by breaking a sample of an enemy that is made of wax oe wood or mud ( such as punching a paper by the bridegroom to prevent envy ) or other things to control the world powers and to be subjected to the will of Man.
