Origin of Magic

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.


From ancient rituals to modern symbols-how has the concept of magic influenced human societies? This book traces the historical and cultural evolution of magic as a practice and philosophy across different civilizations, from the shamanic traditions of indigenous peoples to the ceremonial magick of the medieval period. It examines how magic has been used to interact with the unseen world, manipulate the environment, or predict the future, often blending with science and religion. The narrative explores significant figures and texts in the history of magic, the persecution of witches, and the revival of occult practices in contemporary culture. By presenting magic as a complex and often misunderstood aspect of human belief and practice, the book challenges readers to consider the broader implications of magic on cultural development, social control, and the human psyche.
