Redundant. Okay, let me be more specific here. The word "occult," which literally means "hidden," has come to be a synonym for "supernatural" or "paranormal." Magic (the art of changing things with the power of the mind) is therefore considered to be "occult" by mainstream culture. However, it is believed by a number of people that magick (spelled with a k to differentiate from David Copperfield's act) can be practiced by anyone who puts forth the effort, and fits perfectly within natural laws, albeit laws our scientists haven't discovered yet. Therefore, it cannot rightly be called supernatural, as it is not violating any of the laws of nature. In fact, when you use the "power of positive thinking," you are thought to be using a kind of magick.it is evil and you will be sent to Hell for using demons.

Is it possible to do magic?
I've heard that it is if you believe in it. not if you just try to. I am not 100% sure. But i have tried it before and I think it works, it just makes your mind want it to be real! --- It also depends if you mean sleight of hand (stage magic) or occult magic spells. Sleight of hand is very possible with lots of practice. That doesn't rely on real "magic" or occult powers, but redirection, speed, and the art of deception. Real occult magic is hard to prove. There are people who claim to be able to change the weather and do miracles similar to those in the Bible.

Well, a broad answer is followers of witchcraft/magic based religion. However, Pagans do not fall into this as they specifically follow magic related to nature. The ancient Egyptian religion is the easiest example of the occult. Necromancy, Sorcery, and most other "dark/black" magics are occult religion based. They are not however "evil" or "bad" because even Christianity was bad in the hands of the church in the past. The intention and white and black of the occult is based solely on the practitioner.
Did J.R.R. Tolkien believe magic and religion were compatible?
No, Tolkien was a Catholic. But he had no problem with fantasy magic in fictional stories, as that isn't real and the Catholic Church has no opposition to fictional stories. Catholic Church doctrine clearly states that occult magic is "a lie of the Devil" and practicing it is a very serious sin. When they say occult magic is a "lie" they mean very clearly that it is NOT real and any observed effects and results are faked by either the Devil or his demons. This is what Tolkien believed.
