Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book for
2000 The roots of European witchcraft and magic lie in Hebrew and
other ancient Near Eastern cultures and in the Celtic, Nordic, and
Germanic traditions of the Continent. For two millennia, European
folklore and ritual have been imbued with the belief in the
supernatural, yielding a rich trove of histories and images. The
six volumes in the series Witchcraft and Magic in Europe combine
traditional approaches of political, legal, and social historians
with critical syntheses of cultural anthropology, historical
psychology, and gender studies. The series provides a modern,
scholarly survey of the supernatural beliefs of Europeans from
ancient times to the present day. Each volume contains the work of
distinguished scholars chosen for their expertise in a particular
era or region. The chronological scope of this volume ranges from
the heroic age of Homer's Greek East to the time of the rise of
Christianity, a period of well over a thousand years. In this long
millennium the political and cultural landscapes of the
Mediterranean basin underwent significant changes, as competing
creeds and denominations rose to the fore, and often accused each
other of sorcery. Other volumes in the series Witchcraft and Magic
