Magic across ritual, performance, and belief

Adam Allsuch Boardman’s illustrated survey traces magic across a wide range of practices and contexts, from prehistoric ritual and the occult to stage entertainment, Wicca, crystals, New Age ideas, and mail-order tricks. That breadth places forms of magic associated with spiritual belief alongside those presented as performance or commercial amusement. The book’s organizing thread is historical scope: it brings together subjects that span ritual, popular entertainment, and modern movements under one broad account of magic.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in folklore and mythology.
  • Readers curious about the history of ritual, occult practices, and Wicca.
  • Those interested in magic as both entertainment and a subject of belief.
