Bodhidasa’s Reviews > The History of Magic > Status Update

I very much enjoyed this detailed if flawed history of magic. The author is clearly an expert in some areas and has needed to rely on other people's archaeological evidence to substantiate his claims. His lack of familiarity with some culture's magic shows. That said a fine overview and an impressive contribution to a growing field.

Though heavy with archaeological information and summaries of ancient civilisations, there is enough about magic to keep you fascinated. Who knew the extent of magical practices!?

Now this is starting to get relevant as research for my novel. Medieval magic!
