In several posts, we explored the magic era [1] in which people believe [2] that their actions can affect natural courses, both in beneficial and harmful ways [3]. We saw that to protect themselves, they’d sacrificed [4] a member of their society/family believing that it would safeguard the rest. They had to come to an agreement with nature or the […]
