Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-17 00:00:00 Dustin Abolafia From the Tower of Babel and ancient Egyptian gods all the way to the revival of European superstition in the Enlightened 18th century, this book covers a wide range of people, ideas, places, and magical beliefs. Each chapter, consisting of anywhere from 3 to 15 pages, is basically an introduction to a single magical/occult topic. Readers will likely find themselves engrossed in some chapters and bored in others, based on whatever naturally interests them. The format of the book was helpful in covering so many different things, but then frustrating when a chapter is particularly exciting and then quickly ends. Seligmann's book is strongest as a guide to find out what occult/magical topics interest you so you can look into them more later.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-09-13 00:00:00 Rocco Racano Of all the books I've read conerning the history, myths, and truth about magic and the occult, this is one of the best, if not the best. It teaches everything someone would need to know for writing everything from a term paper to a thesis to a short story to a novel to a whole series of novels. Anyone into witchcraft and / or the occult should read this book.
