A History of Magic, Witchcraft, and the Occult by D.K. Publishing
5.0
Very informative, helped me build up my basic understanding while referencing additional materials to deepen my understanding of witchcraft, wicca and magic.
Many primary resources, using artifacts to show practices and art to display cultural impact, it feel less like a text book and more like a beautifully written and detailed picture book. As a visual person, seeing directly how things tied in helped me understand the concepts deeper.
My only downside is that sometimes the chronological order felt off, more towards the last two sections. I think it can be hard to separate out things that happened within the last 120 years out into separate sections, so I understand how difficult it can be to organize the information effectively.
