Defining Magic: A Nebulous Concept
This chapter delves into the difficulty of defining magic, with scholars attempting to define it but no consensus reached. It explores how the definition of magic depends on the perspective of the individual answering, asking, and listening, and how it can vary based on class, race, and gender. The chapter also discusses the perception of magic among practitioners of Western esotericism and addresses the evolving terminology in contemporary magical practices in the United States.
