Description

Explore the foundational origins of European witchcraft and magic concepts in this scholarly volume from The Athlone Press. This comprehensive examination traces the roots of magical belief systems from ancient Near Eastern Hebrew cultures through Celtic, Nordic, and Germanic societies. The book surveys magical incantations and protective rituals practised in Mesopotamia during the final three millennia before Christ, examines attitudes toward witchcraft and magic within the Old Testament and Jewish theological traditions, and investigates the pre-Christian Scandinavian beliefs and legends surrounding trolldomor. Essential reading for historians, religious scholars, and anyone seeking to understand how early civilisations shaped the European understanding of the supernatural and occult practices that would influence the continent for centuries to come.
