Magic in the ancient world is examined through historical evidence, artifacts, texts, and accounts of ritual practice. The book reveals how spells, curses, charms, divination, protective objects, and magical specialists were understood in ancient societies. Rather than treating ancient magic as a single uniform tradition, it shows the variety of beliefs and practices that existed across different cultures and periods. Engaging and richly historical, the work provides a fascinating look at how people in the ancient world attempted to influence health, relationships, fortune, enemies, and the unpredictable forces surrounding everyday life.
