Abstract
This communication aims to present a brief study on the theme Myth and Magic in Claude Lévi-Strauss thought. The study will be guided by the studies of the texts The Structure of Myths, The Sorcerer and his Magic and The Symbolic Effectiveness, authored by the French anthropologist and philosopher. It is understood by Mito a system of logical operations that operates through several codes, as for example, in the language. And by magic, specifically, the role of the magician as a disposition to establish a balance between normal thinking and pathological thinking which will result in the mental activity exercised through the magician's attitudes in ritual, considering that such a discussion is guided through the strand psychological. From this perspective, we propose at first, to discuss the structure of myths and, later, the structure of magic, and at the last moment, to promote a dialogue between the two concepts from the perspective of the sense religious contemporary
