      <p>I always understood the Rambam's &nbsp;distinction as being a consequence of the difference between beseeching God and attempting to, as it were, &nbsp;coerce God by performing some incantation or spell. &nbsp;In short, that the problem with magical and pagan practices is as much the attempt to make God serve man, rather than the reverse, as it is the recognition of other supernatural forces.</p>
