A History of Magic, Witchcraft, and the Occult (DK a History of)

Product Information

Needless to say, when I saw that they were publishing a book on the history of magic, witchcraft, and the occult, I knew I needed to give the book a read, and I'm glad I did. When picking this book up I recommend taking with a healthy dose of salt everything from Wicca onwards.

The 48 Laws of Power will fascinate any listener interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control. Discover the beguiling history of witchcraft, magic, and superstition through the centuries in this stunningly illustrated title. From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books. Evie Porter has everything a nice, Southern girl could want: a perfect, doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence and a garden, a fancy group of friends.

In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well.

I wish I had this in a physical copy, and I likely will get one in the future when I start having money again. In 2059, two vastly different groups of people portrayed by the compelling trio of Brendan Fraser (Academy Award winner), Luke Kirby (Emmy Award winner), and Vanessa Sears (Dora Award winner) undergo cryonic suspension. No previous knowledge of the subject is necessary, and the course is organised to encourage discussion and debate in an informal setting. Like all DK books, this one is beautifully illustrated, with pictures of artwork, crystals, herbs, amulets, and other magical objects from around the world. So again, I stress that this book should be a starting point only - see what you're interested in, then look into more technical, detailed scholarship.

An excellent reference book, presented with DK's signature layout of accessible text, annotated illustrations, and sidebars for deeper context. It begins a magnificent tale of adventure that will plunge the members of the Fellowship of the Ring into a perilous quest and set the stage for the ultimate clash between the powers of good and evil. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms.

There are more than a few points that people who believe in a continuous oral record of the magical practices of various sorts.

In the summer of 1985, a brilliant young British DNA scientist Helena Greenwood is found murdered in her front garden in a quiet suburb in California. Much of it I was familiar with, but there were sections, like Finnish native beliefs that I had never heard about. While the text portions are too brief (it is just a survey book after all), they are thorough and engaging. The mix of main text, small information boxes, pictures and two page spreads (usually depicting materials/paraphernalia associated with a certain topic/practice) was comfortably paced and always engaging.
