Abstract :Magic has been marginalised in Western society since the eighteenth-century European Enlightenment and the rise of rationalist science. Indeed, it is possible to study humanities and the social sciences at the university level and never read in-depth about the history of magic worldwide. Conversely, religion and science dominate the humanities curriculum. While this is understandable in light of the modern and technological society we live in; nonetheless, magical perspectives deserve an updated academic analysis. Professor of European Archeology Chris Gosden’s The History of Magic: From Alchemy to Witchcraft, from the Ice Age to the Present is an encyclopaedic and objective study of magic and all things magical and is a good starting point for students, scholars, and general readers.
