Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contagious magic is the belief that an object that has been in contact with a person retains a magical connection to that person. Imitative magic, on the other hand, involves performing magic that imitates the desired result, such as using a voodoo doll to harm someone. While both forms of magic were early forms of religion, they are still found in many cultures and belief systems today. Choice A is incorrect because it describes sympathetic magic, not contagious magic. Choice C is incorrect because it describes a specific example of imitative magic, not the general concept. Choice D is partially correct but does not capture the distinction between imitative and contagious magic. Choice E is incorrect because both forms of magic are still found today.
