Hunting magic
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Hunting magic is a term for practices of magic associated with hunting in hunter-gatherer cultures, both contemporary and prehistoric.
Walter Burkert in Homo Necans (1972) suggested that rituals associated with hunting magic are at the origin of religion. Henri Breuil interpreted the paleolithic cave paintings as hunting magic, meant to increase the number of animals.
