"The belief in another world, in ghosts and hauntings, in some secret and awful power wielded for good or evil by magicians and sorcerers has always appealed to human nature and is one of the most persistent heirlooms of the past."
In this fascinating account of the occult, Charles W. Olliver traces the strange beliefs and practices of magic, from its origins thousands of years ago in the 'fearsome demonologies' of religions, through 'the devil-infested atmosphere of the Middle Ages', to modern-day meta-physics.
