The Magic Of The People And The Struggle Of The Church Against It

""The Magic of the People and the Struggle of the Church Against It"" is a book written by Viktor Rydberg that explores the history and conflict between magic and religion. The book delves into the beliefs and practices of ancient civilizations and how they viewed magic as a way to connect with the divine. It also examines the rise of Christianity and the Church's efforts to suppress magic and other forms of pagan worship. Rydberg argues that the Church's condemnation of magic was not only an attempt to assert its authority, but also a way to suppress the power of the people. The book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of religion and magic and sheds light on the ongoing struggle between tradition and modernity.THIS 74 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Magic of the Middle Ages, by Viktor Rydberg.
