It took me a while to finish this one because it’s a textbook, more than anything, and on an average person’s shelf, serves more as a reference book or a survey of occultism, witchcraft, or alternative spiritual practices from around the world. The perfect introduction to magic and the occult, it explores forms of divination from astrology and palmistry to the Tarot and runestones and offers key insights into the ways in which magic has interacted with religion. The course will combine traditional western academic methodologies and more alternative approaches, with students able to complete their dissertation through a performance work. Discover the beguiling history of witchcraft, magic, and superstition through the centuries and across the world in this stunningly audiobook.It says it will equip students with skills including creative thinking, analytical thinking, curiosity and lifelong learning. Current Imperial College students and staff (incl. Imperial NHS Trust, Imperial Innovations, ancillary & service staff employed on long-term contracts at Imperial College by third-party contractors) Religion played a role in the story of Saito science and produce science, being a vital ingredient in magical thought by contributing to such thinking it also helped foster the early development of natural science. This was a fascinating listen that included information from the far reaches of history all the way to present day. Touching upon many different aspects from religions long ago, the witch trials, history of Tarot, and so much more. The Podcast 'Stuff You Missed in History Class' had an episode regarding the history of Tarot in October of 2020 and 'Bones and Bobbins' another podcast has been focusing quite a bit about Witchcraft, since the hosts are Witches. That brought about an interest in me, I found it interesting to listen to this overview of the history of Witchcraft. If you have a specific interest, Witch Bottles (Bones and Bobbins), or Tarot you would be better off listening to the podcasts. There are several interesting books that cover the Salem Witch Trials, the ones that I have listened to are very good at covering and explaining the Witchfinder General.

On this 20-week course we will explore the history and practise of magic, spell-craft and the occult from ancient times to the present day. We will learn about witches, fairies, shamans and fortune-tellers, as well as beliefs in curses and ghosts, protective talisman and superstitious fears associated with the occult. Each week we will examine a key theme in the history of magic, assess its place in different cultures around the world, and consider how the theme has changed over time. We will also look at the place of magic and the occult in art, literature and popular culture, from the fairy tales of the Grimm Brothers, to the wizardry of Harry Potter. If you’re interested in learning how psilocybin can help with treatment-resistant depression, Exeter has another UK-first postgraduate course – in psychedelic studies. The postgraduate certificate draws on psychology, psychiatry and neuroscience to teach healthcare workers about using psilocybin, LSD, MDMA and other psychoactive drugs in therapeutic work, although they are still not licensed for treatment in the UK yet. First, it is brutally Eurocentric. Almost all discussion of non-Western magic is restricted to the opening chapter on ancient magic, with a few asides on the Aztecs, Voodoo, and European reactions to magical traditions the "discovered." I know enough about East Asian religion to feel that this seriously neglects the ongoing development of ritual and folk magic in China, Korea, and Japan in favor of focusing heavily on European witch trials and hermetic traditions. I find those things interesting too, but there is much more to the world of magic.
