Western Magic culture

Please is the following combination of words correct?

Western Magic Culture

I could have said just "Western Magic," but I want to add the word "culture" to show that magic is addressed from a cultural perspective.

Thank you

Yes, that's what I mean by "Western Magic Culture."
It refers to magical religions such as Wicca.

I wonder why you expected it to mean something different.

Thank you

Wicca is neither a magical nor a magic religion/belief/creed in my opinion.

I'm surprised that is not unclear at all to you.

If the use of tern "Western magic" is widespread, then how come just the addition of the term 'culture' makes it unclear?

What if I change Western by African? Does is it make a difference?

Thanks sir.
But I think it is not a matter of personal opinions.
A brief Google Books search on Wicca would show that it is a magical religion.

You are misusing the word 'magical'. Many Wiccans belief that magic is a force of nature, but they do not speak of their belief system as a magic/magical religion.

Ok, Sir.
It cannot provide you with quotes from reliable source at the moment.

I'm not concerned with Western magic or Wicca in particular.

Please, is the expression

Yes. In the Caribbean, that is the Voodou culture. It is quite strong.
