Lang argues that magic and religion were once intertwined in primitive societies but became distinct as societies evolved. He suggests that early religious practices, such as ritual and sacrifice, stemmed from magical beliefs and later developed into formalized, communal structures. Drawing from anthropology and folklore, Lang explores the evolution of spiritual and supernatural beliefs across cultures, offering insights into how ancient peoples perceived the supernatural in their social and religious systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gyan Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46195441500311,"sku":"9789369203284","price":511.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789369203284.webp?v=1769300564","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-magic-and-religion-9789369203284","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
