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 of magic and the Church's efforts to suppress it. The book delves into the origins of magic and the beliefs and practices of various cultures, including ancient Greece and Rome, Scandinavia, and the Middle East. It also discusses the role of the Church in demonizing magic and persecuting those who practiced it, including the infamous witch trials of the 16th and 17th centuries. Rydberg argues that the Church's opposition to magic was rooted in its desire for power and control over the masses. The book is a fascinating look at the history of magic and its relationship with religion, and sheds light on the ongoing struggle between science and superstition.THIS 74 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Magic of the Middle Ages, by Viktor Rydberg.
