Description
War Magic: Religion, Sorcery, and Performance by D. S. Farrer explores how war magic and warrior religion tap into divine power through various practices and rituals. This book delves into the world of magic, sorcery, shamanism, and religion as performed in diverse cultures across historical time periods. By examining the role of embodiment, practice, and performance in these traditions, Farrer reveals a nuanced approach to understanding social action, innovation, and tradition revitalization in colonial and post-colonial societies. The book sheds light on how magic is experienced by both practitioners and victims, offering a fresh perspective on the complex relationships between religion, magic, and power. Through its original investigations, War Magic challenges readers to consider what magic does, rather than just what it represents.
