why people turn to magic

from Lorgh's Blog Hosted by Loretta Nash

People often turn to magic when life feels overwhelming—when fear, loneliness, or uncertainty push them to reach for anything that promises control. Across history and Scripture, magic becomes a shortcut people take when: They feel powerless and want influence over situations they can’t change. They’re afraid of the future and crave answers or reassurance. They feel abandoned by trusted sources of guidance—leaders, community, or even God. They want quick solutions to pain, loss, or desperation. They’re drawn to mystery and the idea of hidden knowledge or secret power. In short: people turn to magic when they’re searching for comfort, control, or clarity in moments when life feels overwhelming.
