Meaning of magia simpática by furoya

It is the kind of magic or witchcraft that associates two elements by sympathy, and acting on one assumes that it can affect or interpret the other. This metaphysical theory is applied in cases such as voodoo, where a victim-like doll is pricked to make him sick; in the anthropophagy of tribes like the Guarani who fed on the best warriors to obtain their energy; in karma, where our behavior is equally rewarded in forthcoming incarnations; or in psychometric divination like chiromancy since, p . E.g. , associates the length of the life line with the duration of our chronological life. It was also attempted to apply it in the scientific field, as has happened with homeopathy in medicine ("similia similibus curantur"), or the "Allix snails" in telecommunications.
