Imitative magic

Imitative magic is really a type of magic to the so-called sympathetic magic, while the second is called contagious magic. Imitative magic is the basis of those practices such as palmistry (divination of the future by observing the lines of the hand) and the insertion of needles in dolls in order to harm the people represented by them, while that contagious magic is the foundation of psychometry (divination of personal data or current location of a person by means of an object that has belonged to him).

The Imitative magic are nowadays present in pseudosciences such as homeopathy (based precisely on the moooo "the similar cures the similar") and the use of Bach flowers, which in their preparation postulates maintain that the simple contact of water with other substances allows you to "capture its healing properties" .6
