In the period domoninated by the triumphs of scientific
rationalism, how do we account for the extraordinary success of
such occult movements as astrology or the revival of witchcraft?
From his perspective as a historian of religions, the eminent
scholar Mircea Eliade shows that such popular trends develop from
archaic roots and periodically resurface in certain myths, symbols,
and rituals. In six lucid essays collected for this volume, Eliade
reveals the profound religious significance that lies at the heart
of many contemporary cultural vogues.
Since all of the essays except the last were originally delivered
as lectures, their introductory character and lively oral style
make them particularly accessible to the intelligent nonspecialist.
Rather than a popularization, " Occultism, Witchcraft, and Cultural
Fashions" is the fulfillment of Eliade's conviction that the
history of religions should be read by the widest possible
audience.
