Description
Oriental Magic explores the diverse ways people think and believe across cultures from North Africa to Japan. This comprehensive study is the result of years of research and fieldwork in over a dozen cultural regions, offering a unique insight into informal beliefs and esoteric practices.
Profusely illustrated and covering topics such as Indian alchemy, the Arabian Abjad system, divination, talismanic charms, and an ancient Brahmin spell for immortality, Oriental Magic is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding cultural differences.
