Wizards and Sorcerers
by Tom Ogden
Tablets from seventh-century B.C. Nineveh document the ancient Assyrians' ritual use of "holy water", their belief in the power of the number seven, and their fear of the "evil eye" - all notions still familiar to us 27 centuries later. Wizards and Sorcerers is filled with examples of how present-day magic is rooted in ancient occult practices and of how its age-old influence crosses a broad spectrum of disciplines, including science, religion, and the arts. In this spirited A-to-Z compendium, author Tom Ogden distills his lifelong fascination with magic, fantasy, and the occult into a useful, compelling, and well-researched guide to a subject that permeates our culture - whether "high" or "low". In Wizarzds and Sorcerers readers will find entries illuminating past and present practices of wizardry, sorcery, and magic from cultures around the world, as well as extensive references to magic as a theme in ballet, theater, literature, and popular culture. Further enriching the text are nearly 100 illustrations, many from the author's private collection, and some never before published, and a useful index.
