commoners practiced it regularly. 2 Magic had many

define. Outside the literary works of J. R. R.

and the supernatural (that which lies outside or
beyond the natural universe). In Tolkien's world
what he calls magic is real and natural, and we
must understand the nature of his world in order
to understand what he...

Beliefs And Practices Thousands Of Years
1,361 words
Magicians have been documented for thousands of
years. Although the earliest records of magicians
come from the Egyptians, the first modern day
magicians come from the late 1800 s. Before that
