A History Of Magic, Witchcraft And The Occult Hardcover Book

Every generation thinks it invented the occult. Every generation is wrong.

Published by DK and loaded with archival imagery, this hardcover traces the full sweep of magic, witchcraft and superstition from ancient ritual to the modern revival, the grimoires, the witch trials, the esoteric orders, the folk traditions that refused to die no matter how many times the church tried to stamp them out. It's the kind of book that earns a permanent spot on the shelf next to your tarot deck and your dog-eared copy of Spare's Book of Pleasure. Dense with illustration, readable without being dumbed down, and broad enough to satisfy whether you're deep in ceremonial magic or just starting to peel back the dark aesthetic rabbit hole.

Hardcover. Published by DK. Richly illustrated throughout. A solid reference for anyone serious about gothic and occult history.
