This is such a fabulous reference for my writing, and so interesting. It goes through the magical beliefs and practices of different cultures, and then into modern magical influences, otherwise known as superstitions. Some of the reasons for the traditions we still have are based on chilling practices from long before.

Fascinating book. I love this series so much. If you can get your hands on it, I highly recommend!

Magic has always interested me and I can honestly say that I believe there is magic in this world if you know where to look. This book answered a lot of questions that I had about a lot of cultures around the world.
