The True History of Wizards and Witches (The Early Years)

Pan-European folklore is rife with tales of good and evil wizards, witches and warlocks, mystical figures so intriguing that they have endured in our imagination for more than a thousand years. In legend, pointy hats, brooms, lengthy robes, veils, long hair, beards, magic, astrology, gems and wands were their trademarks.rnMost books devoted to historical witchcraft concentrate on a well-documented period between 1500-1800 AD, when the last of the sole practitioners were being rounded up, and the hierarchical structure of the craft was being broken down by persecution and state execution.rnThis book deviates from traditional works by focussing on the fascinating formative years of their philosophies and ritual, when the vaunted rites of witches and wizards held sway over the world's mightiest empires.rnThe True History of Wizards and Witches takes you on a wild odyssey of discovery, leading to distant China, Mesopotamia and Persia, the original homelands of the magicians.rnWitness an age of kings and wizards ... the story of how it all started, and why it became so much a part of medieval European sub-culture.
