What's with all the magical spell questions lately? No gods, they're agnostic concerning souls, and they don't practice magic in any way.

NOT exactly.
They sure never stop anyone from calling on the name/s of God for help but they recommend more for you to look deep within yourself in meditation and then try seeing what is an available source or resource outside or around that can make you realize what you need in your life.
You may be thinking of other way of life who does magic spell. It is not important to them what you do make a living, but it is their way of telling us to live simply, moderate and truthful.

Here's a definition- would it answer your question?

The central concept and goal is the Tao, and its most important text is the Tao-Te-Ching. Taoism has both a philosophical and a religious aspect. Philosophical Taoism emphasizes inner contemplation and mystical union with nature; wisdom, learning, and purposive action should be abandoned in favor of simplicity and Wu-wei (non action, or letting things take their natural course). The religious aspect of Taoism developed later, c. 3rd century ad, incorporating certain Buddhist features and developing a monastic system.
