The Occult, Magic & Witchcraft: An Exploration of Modern Sorcery - Paperback

by Charles Olliver (Author)

Examining everything from occult symbols to mysterious magics to corrupt demonology, Magic and Witchcraft gives a comprehensive overview of the hidden histories of sorcery and superstition. With a careful and considered eye, Olliver surveys the origins of magic, considers its relationship to religion and spiritualism, and discusses how we should deal with experiences outside our understanding through the new science of metapsychics.
