Delving into the works of hundreds of scholars and specialists who have written on the inexhaustible subject, seligmann presents a vivid picture of the most typical religio-magical beliefs of ancient, medieval, and modern times.

Embodied int he text as an integral part of the narrative, they mirror the magical world view throughout the ages as no other presentation has ever done before.
