Magic is a tremendous theme that hold many overlaping branches, religions, philosophies, ideas.....etc
A huge maze
but what is magic about?
I found three major definitions
1-Aleister Crowley (Magic is the art and science in causing change in conformitywith will)
2-Dion Fortune (Magic is the art and science in causing change in conformity or Psyche with will)
Although highly accepted and approved between all Occult circles, but I feel it is not enough for holding the core quintessence of this divine science.
So the above mentioned I feel that they focusing on the outcome of magic and slightly on the quintessence of it.
3-Papus in his monumental work - A practical treaties on elementary magic - posted an all-compassing definition
(Magic is the science for understanding God, through understanding the nature of universe and the nature of Man)
because God no creature arrives to his holiness level to get a full understanding of his operations and wisdom, so Man can only feel God holiness through study and contemplation the mechanisms of the Cosmos and the inner operations of Man.
So I think Papus`s definitions touches the inner intimate core of Magic idenity.
