Magic has not yet been properly defined. In its practice it is, of course, very largely primitive science, misunderstandings by false analogy of the way things work, of natural law. But behind that there seems to remain a very peculiar kind of awareness, an awareness modified and sometimes lost by people whoes life has been passed in towns. It is most difficult to describe. It has something to do with a sense of the invisible, the non-exisistent in a scientific sense, relations between things of a different order: the moon and a stone, the sea and a piece of wood, women and fish.
