Another phenomenological model is Gilbert Lewis’s, which is that
"habit is unthinking."
He believes that those practicing magic do not think of an explanatory
theory behind their actions any more than the average person tries to
grasp the pharmaceutical workings of aspirin. When the average person
takes an aspirin, he does not know how the medicine chemically
functions. He takes the pill with the premise that there is proof of
efficacy.
Similarly, many who avail themselves of magic do so without feeling the
need to understand a causal theory behind it.
