History of magic

Magic is something that has been around for thousands of years. It has been used by people all over the world to help explain the physical world and to give them a way to make sense of it. Magic is based on the belief that certain symbols, chants, or rituals can be used to control the natural forces around us. This has allowed people to believe in things such as enchanted plants, healing spells, and potions that have mysterious powers. In some societies, people believed that someone with special magical powers could make things happen that normally weren't possible. For example, a witch or wizard might be able to make things float or appear in a puff of smoke. Today, we mostly think of magic as entertainment, like a magician on stage performing a trick. But in the past, there were many magical traditions that were taken very seriously. Some people still use magic today, but it's usually in a more spiritual or religious context than in the past.
