Folk Magic, General

The newer pagan religions of today are founded on much older spiritual practices, some of which really had no name. They were often a lifestyle for the people, and this is so for the populace of countries around the world. Folk magic provides a unique window into cultural beliefs and practices, especially as they relate to the pre-Christian histories of the people. And interestingly enough, many folk magic paths also assimilate elements of Christianity (or whatever the mainstream religion is in their area) in clever ways.
