Forty Thousand Years of Magic: a Global History of Witchcraft, Astrology and Alchemy
Chris GosdenHistorical312k Wordscompleted
The author of this book tells us a magical story that spans more than 40,000 years: from the Ice Age to today's unknown corners, spanning all continents of the world, from the Mongolian grasslands to the Mesopotamia, from ancient Egypt to the magnificent palaces of London and Paris. We will meet priests, diviners, shamans, wizards, alchemists and other characters, and follow them on a wonderful journey. In the process, Gosden reveals that magic occupies a far more important role in human society
