"Magic and Religion" by Andrew Lang is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between magic and religion in different cultures throughout history. The book examines the ways in which magic and religion have intersected and influenced each other, as well as the similarities and differences between these two forms of belief. Lang argues that both magic and religion are attempts by humans to understand and interact with the supernatural, but that they differ in their approach and their goals. Magic is often associated with individualistic and practical goals, such as achieving success in love or business, while religion is more concerned with communal and spiritual goals, such as salvation or enlightenment. The book also discusses the role of ritual in both magic and religion, and how rituals can be used to create a sense of community and connection to the divine. Lang draws on examples from a wide range of cultures and historical periods, including ancient Greece, medieval Europe, and indigenous cultures from around the world, to illustrate his arguments. Overall, "Magic and Religion" is a thoughtprovoking exploration of the complex and often overlapping relationship between two fundamental aspects of human belief and experience.
