The Metamorphosis of Magic


Bremmer, Jan N. and Veenstra, Jan R., eds. - The Metamorphosis of Magic from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern Period

Gods, goddesses, angels, and demons all played an important part in daily life for ancient peoples. Their roles and "powers," however, became more suspect and condemned--in the West--as Christianity became more popular. While such beliefs were less appreciated and more suppressed with time, they were never obliterated. Consequently, a gradual merging of old magical practices with philosophy, specifically Neoplatonism, during the Middle Ages insured their continuation. Bremmer and Veenstra present 14 essays that provide an overview of this shift and its viability in Western society.
