This richly illustrated history provides a readable and fresh
approach to the extensive and complex story of witchcraft and
magic. Telling the story from the dawn of writing in the ancient
world to the globally successful Harry Potter films, the authors
explore a wide range of magical beliefs and practices, the rise of
the witch trials, and the depiction of the Devil-worshipping witch.
The book also focuses on the more recent history of witchcraft and
magic, from the Enlightenment to the present, exploring the rise of
modern magic, the anthropology of magic around the globe, and
finally the cinematic portrayal of witches and magicians, from The
Wizard of Oz to Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
