Magick | Author: Thomas Waters

Combining powerful imagery of artworks and ritual objects with insightful analysis and expertly written text, Magick tells the visual story of the magical arts, from personal and community-based folk magic to ceremonial magic, illusionists and psychics.

Readers will discover how personal magic was practised in pre-industrial Europe and what to expect from a consultation with a cunning-woman. They will learn the techniques and beliefs of mesmerism, psychic mediumship and other alternative magical traditions that have emerged in the modern period. This wide-ranging and accessible book reveals how magic has evolved from ancient times, through the ages of science and technology, to the present-day era of spiritual wellbeing trends and magical products that can be ordered on next-day delivery.
