That is fascinating. Within my practice, that everyday type of magic is more focussed on symbolic things. Say, I'd want to get rid of some anxiety, I'd need to create something that reminds me of that. Not in a literal sense, and this can be abstract and personal, but that way it can represent that for me. Which can be a knotted up piece of fabric, crumpled piece of paper, or even an ice cube. Then burning or melting will help me align my intentions with that, and release what it represents. The act can look the same, but I feel, from what I'm understanding from this, is that this follows a different logic.
As if I need to imbue a thing with a part, and this is something naturally taking a part of a thing by proximity... I know, being nice a vague here, but does that make some sense?
