Magical traditions are collections of rituals, prayers, spell casting and other spiritual means of affecting change in the physical world. Found in virtually every culture across the planet, magical traditions often have connections to religious traditions or divinatory traditions, and reflect the cultural values from which they originate. Many magical traditions evolve from oppressed members of society seeking to change their lives in order to maintain an element of control and power in a seemingly powerless circumstance.

A magical tradition is distinguished by its set of symbolism, imagery, spell-casting technology, spirit work, petition of deities, types of magical preparations and a shared understanding of the spiritual world. Followers of a magical tradition typically do not have any religious functional interaction with one another, but can work cooperatively in magical functions or spell casting. Magical traditions can be practiced in groups or individually.

Many religious traditions have elements of magical tradition to them. Examples of religious traditions that incorporate magical traditions include the African and African Diasporic Traditions, Jewish Traditions, Spiritualist Traditions, Pagan and Neo-Pagan Traditions and many others. In contrast, some magical traditions have no connection to any religious traditions at all.
