Views on the source of magic vary widely depending on religious and spiritual beliefs.
* Some religions and denominations consider all forms of magic as originating from Satan or evil spirits, as they believe it involves manipulating forces outside of God's will and can be a form of idolatry.
* Other belief systems may see magic as a neutral force that can be used for either good or evil, depending on the practitioner's intentions and source of power. Some may believe that magic comes from a divine source, but is separate from the traditional concept of God.
* Still others may view magic as a natural phenomenon, a form of energy or power inherent in the universe, with no connection to either God or Satan.
* Some individuals may believe that magic is a manifestation of one's own inner power or connection to the universe, rather than an external force bestowed by a deity or supernatural entity.
Ultimately, the source of magic is a matter of personal belief and interpretation.
