It stands as the counterpart of religion, which is essentially characterized by submission to supranormal beings and is thus expressed through sacrifices and prayers. In magic, the desired effect is conceived of as being obtained mechanically by the correct performance of a particular procedure, for example the casting of a spell. One of the black magic practices of the Saami was the use of human remains and grave soil in magic potions. </P> Otsikko 102
