At its heart, belief magic is a combination of community knowledge + solidarity networks + folklore.
Magic is not a procedure that produces effects, but a symbolic system with a social function
Philip Ball • Invisible: The Dangerous Allure of the Unseen
At heart, magic embraces the power that small solidarity networks have to change the world through changing their own perceptions of reality.

By community knowledge, I mean beliefs, truths and cures passed down over time. By solidarity networks, I mean acting with trust, in small self-selecting groups. By folklore, I mean the ritualistic repetition of the first to build the second.
