Description

Explore the hidden history of practical magic in England through this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press. While witchcraft often dominates historical discussions, Tabitha Stanmore focuses on service magic-spellcraft performed for payment to meet specific daily needs. By examining hundreds of instances of magical usage alongside period literature, this book reveals how much more common practical magic was compared to malign spellcasting. This study provides a deep look into the premodern English society from the later Middle Ages to the early modern era. It demonstrates how magic was a functional part of life, used to address everyday requirements that traditional means could not satisfy. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of occultism and the social role of magic in early England.
