 abstract = {The central theme of this book has been to show how magical practices can work to augment individual human agency in a society where the formal channels of agency are limited, and to change subjectivity, for example, by attenuating and modifying psychologically destructive and socially disruptive emotions. In this chapter, I shall develop further the view of magic as an aspect of the existential safety net operating in conditions of ‘precarious presence’ (see Rodriguez Larreta 2002).
