In a world where magic is as everyday as electricity and TV is in the modern age, can there truly be such a thing as superstition?
Superstition is founded in ignorance, of which there will never be a shortage. Even today, when electricity and TV are as everyday as they are, people believe strange things without foundation. Health effects of high-voltage lines or cell phones. Magnetic cures to arthritis. You name it. Most interestingly, some of the strange and unfounded things people believe might turn out to be true, there's just no support for them now!
This is because no matter how common technology or magic is, most people don't fully understand it. They can use it because it's been packaged up for them. When they try to make sense of their universe, they'll naturally make mistakes and believe things that are untrue... causing superstition.
In a world with science, there are plenty of people who think that douching with Coca-Cola can prevent pregnancy.In a world where magic is as everyday as electricity and TV is in the modern age, can there truly be such a thing as superstition?
