According to theories of magic: Victor Henry, Taylor, Lehmann, Wundt, Hubbert and Mauss


Victor Henry magic based on the observation of the world and the properties of things. He tells us that we represent in our mind, the primitive man, surrounded by a thousand dangers, real or imaginary, known or mysterious: hurricanes and storms , the overflowing of rivers, the loosening of the rocks, the wild beasts, eclipses of sun and moon.

Remove from the time they are produced "Fire", it became the best agent for the protection of wild beasts. Thereafter it became the natural ally of man against all harmful. This is the kick off of where the universal role played derived by fire in ancient and modern magic.

In our civilized society, at least for the historian of the rites, the candelabra lighted candles placed beside the dead, are the walls that protect the spirits of darkness.

According to Tylor occult science and magic is based on the association of ideas. In this way attempts to discover, predict and effects by processes that have only an ideal significance. For him, the development of the magical arts, have emerged from the confusion between a real connection with another ideal.

Lehmann defines superstition and magic. Superstition all belief is not based on a particular religion or that is in contradiction with the scientific conception of nature in a given moment in history.

Any action which is derived from a superstition concerning magic, whatever its natural character. The magic is not necessarily the belief in demons, neither is absolute, the distinction between magic and religion, it depends on conditions of the society to which it refers.

The magic still exists today in spiritualism and the occult. After having analyzed by the methods of experimental psychology, some of the abnormal phenomena of the individual (suggestion, hypnosis, sleep, etc.), concludes that magic, consists of a set of illusions, prepositions and errors of perception caused by the phenomena that fear and hope.

Wundt says that primitive man had no idea of ​​the principle of natural causality. For him, the events were familiar or surprising, ordinary or extraordinary, abnormal or normal, expected or unexpected, natural or unnatural and therefore comprehensible or incomprehensible.

The natural and ordinary as no surprise, so do not stimulate the mind or attention, and require no explanation. In contrast, the unexpected and unnatural phenomena, require justification and explanation, the only given by the savage, is to that if something happens is that someone has produced.

The only one who has power to perform acts and lead to certain actions is the man. Because they operate menera of man is not called wizards ordinary, inspired from the first moments a great respect, and taking into account the mystery of its operations, the result was considered as a marvel.

While the cause was attributed to a man, the phenomenon was called "magic", and when coming from a god, a miracle. The miraculous events such as: rapid changes of fortune, health, illness, death, the great joys originally attributed to the power of some men to act at a distance. For Wundt the origin of magic to be found in the primitive assumption that man alone has the power to do things and produce actions.

For Hubbert and Mauss, magic is a collective belief, a social fact. Belief in magic is at certain times of general social evolution throughout the villages, and not exclusive of one ignorant majority. Each time the society is disturbed his march through phenomena that appear to disrupt the order of things, such as drought, war, death, meteors, abnormal individuals, and so on.

In each of these moments, every extraordinary perception, society hesitates, looking and waiting. This attitude is the cause of the abnormal is "mana," that is produced by magic or magic.

The mission is to harness this force magician through the rites, ordered to a certain point and use it for their purposes. This force is called "mana" to the Melanesians, "kramal" among Malaysians.
