Why or why not?Would you classify it as magic or divination? Why or why not? If so, which one?Would you classify it as superstitious? Why or why not?2. What other examples of magic or divination from your own culture can you think of? Are there any that you yourself practice? Points to remember:Make sure you are using the class definitions of religion, magic and superstition and remember that these categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive!Keep in mind the emic/etic distinction – what the individual doing the behavior says about it (emic perspective) may be different than what we would say as we are analyzing it (etic perspective). Just because that person may not see it as magic doesn’t mean we can’t classify it as magic. Replies to Peersafter you finish the prompt reply to at least two of your peers.
