In the introduction of the book Magic in the Middle Ages chapter, one emphasizes the definition of magic. During the medieval era, Europeans believed that there were two types of magic, which were called natural and demonic.

For example, using herbs to treat an illness with the addition of reciting specific words was deemed as natural magic. On the other hand, demonic magic was not thought to be a form of science but was a perverted depiction of religion. That demonic magic’s power source was from demons and that words that could not be interpreted were thought to be demon names.

I wanted to do magic myself.

Our perspective toward magic changes as we grow older. The term, magic, is used to describe a more specific way to reason in how children and adults view the world. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget often thought children's mind changes as they gain more experiences throughout their life. Another of Piaget's view of magical thinking was the "belief that one's own thoughts could bring physical change." For instance, in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, before Harry realizes that he is a wizard, he manages to vanish the glass wall surrounding the snake because of his anger towards Dudley.
