Question as a complete book for Gnostic anthropology and Hermetic history; is Science interchangeable with hermeticism/magical stuff/supernatural in general?

I am studying up references of indigenous cultures mainly Yoruba and Mesoamerican cosmology. As I look into these topics I wonder to myself reading up Gnostic anthropology, is magic and science two sides of the same coin with different rules of physics?

[OC] Six limbed avian bodyplan concept

I am planing this concept of a theropod avian species descended from an ancient fish ancestor with six limbs(similar to how we evolved from a tetrapod fish).

I am aiming for a scientific grounded approach on how the vertebrates of their own planet retain six limbs in their own way, so what reasons can i come up with?

Should I rework the physiology of their body plan or do i have to make them lose a set of limbs to make their anatomy more plausible? (Or perhaps i can try a classic centaur approach?)
