Description

The history of magic and the occult spans thousands of years, from ancient cave rituals to modern times. Magic has been a part of human culture since the earliest days, with appearances in early Babylonian texts, the Bible, Judaism, and Islam. Secret words, spells, and incantations are at the heart of nearly every mythological tradition. Throughout history, magic has been intertwined with science, religion, and mysticism. The Middle Ages saw a fascination with alchemy, Freemasonry, and Rosicrucianism, while the 20th century witnessed a return to earlier magical traditions. Today, magic encompasses a wide range of practices, from contemporary Wicca as a modern pagan religion to the nonspiritual art of stage magic. The Occult, Witchcraft and Magic is a comprehensive exploration of this complex subject, featuring authoritative text and a vast selection of images from around the world.
