For example, you can't practice traditional Aztec magic, cause you can't sacrifice people now days. Also I could tell you about how many acts of witchcraft are practiced in every church all over the world, but since they have a negative view on witchcraft, then you would have to say that it's not tradition. However, many consider Hoodoo to be of tradition as it's a collection of all types folk magic from around the world, and some Hoodoo spells curse people using bible verses. Many Gypsy spells also do the same. It's a confusing hazy subject, so whether religion is apart of it is all apart of the tradition and the practitioner.
