One figure, above all, has haunted the human imagination since humans began to

imagine: the witch. Witchcraft seems always to have been with us, but the curious

will ask: where did it come from and where is it going?

 

Anthropologists often define witchcraft as "the use of malevolent powers by psychic

means without the need for ritual or charm". This may have been so for the days of

the Inquisition but not for the contemporary western world where witches work magic

through spells.

 

This class provides a historical overview of how modern-day magic evolved from early

man, the beliefs and customs of the Celts, and other ancient, Indo-European peoples.

 

 

Class starts at 6PM followed by Open Circle at 7:30PM
