Con il termine magia si intende una tecnica che si prefigge di influenzare o dominare gli eventi, i fenomeni fisici e l'essere umano con la volontà; a tal fine la magia può servirsi di atti e formule verbali, come di gesti e rituali appropriati. Frontespizio da un'edizione della Naturalis historia di Plinio il Vecchio (1582). L'etimologia del vocabolo magia (in greco μαγεία) deriva dal nome con cui veniva indicata nell'antica Grecia la dottrina praticata dai «Magi» (Μάγοι), i sacerdoti zoroastriani della Persia.
