This is a process used since the middle ages when imposing words from the religious ceremonies such as hoc est enim corpus became hocus-pocus to convince the ignorant that real magi was going on.Examples today would include:
- most popular diet plans which melt off fat
- palm reading an Astrology
- creationism
- non-traditional medical methods relying on herbs, auras, mystic vibrations and psychic powers
