Description

Explore the ancient origins of European magic and witchcraft with this scholarly work from The Athlone Press. Volume 1 of this series examines the foundational roots of these concepts, tracing them back to the Hebrew and other cultures of the ancient Near East. It also looks at the traditions of the Celtic, Nordic, and Germanic societies of the North and West. This volume provides a detailed survey of the earliest phases of development in magical thought. Readers can study the use of magical incantations and rituals against witchcraft in Mesopotamia dating back three millennia BC. The text also investigates attitudes toward magic within the Old Testament and later Jewish traditions. Additionally, it covers the legends and beliefs surrounding trolldomor in pre-Christian Scandinavia.
