Magic Forums

"Is Magic, Magic?" sounds like a stupid question, but I dont think it is. Lately I've been wondering what exactly is magic. What sets it apart from other practices or religions (Wicca, in this case, from Christianity and etc)? Honestly I can't find a difference beyond titles and small fine print. Spells and rituals equal that of prayer and mass/service. Gods and goddesses are the same as angels and God (in a sense). Not to dismiss anyone or their opinion, but what makes magic magic? Especially if it has foundations in science/physics? Somehow, to me, it seems like the best combination of spirituality and science because both influence its nature of being.

Thoughts and/or ideas from anyone?
