To find out why reasonable people are drawn to the seemingly
bizarre practices of magic and witchcraft, Tanya Luhrmann immersed
herself in the secret lives of Londoners who call themselves
magicians. She came to know them as friends and equals and was
initiated into various covens and magical groups. She explains the
process through which once-skeptical individuals--educated,
middle-class people, frequently of high intelligence--become
committed to the ideas behind witchcraft and find magical ritual so
compellingly persuasive. This intriguing book draws some disturbing
conclusions about the ambivalence of belief within modern urban
society.
