Magic and Witchcraft (Librero) Dutch.

Witchcraft was once a way to influence all the unpredictable aspects of life, such as crop growth, health, and the protection of livestock. Because people felt powerless against bad luck and misfortune, it was easy to blame evil magic and the figure of the witch. Today, witchcraft is a benign religion, separate from historical fantasy, but often making use of ancient magical techniques such as dolls and amulets. This fascinating history offers the reader a timeline that shows how magic and witchcraft, and how they are perceived, have changed over the centuries. This book takes you on an informative and visually appealing journey, from the allure of witches in art, such as Circe, Medea, Morgan le Fay, and Nimue, to famous historical events, such as the witch trials and the suppression of pagan temples by Christians.
