Each chapter discusses one part of black magic folklore.
Richard Cavendish has made an excellent job of exploring various fields of magic and presenting them in an easy to digest manner.Īnd very entertainingly as well! I’ve read this book in two days. Those looking for an overview of black magic and related magical fields should look no further than The Black Arts. The Black Arts: A Concise History of Witchcraft, Demonology, Astrology, and Other Mystical Practices Throughout the Ages This list will serve well those individuals who are interested in practicing black magic as well as those wish to indulge in their curiosity on this eternally controversial subject. Having read over 50 books that are directly or indirectly related to black magic, this is my top 5 list. There are also a few excellent newer works by modern occult writers that have to be mentioned. Luckily, many old tomes have been digitalized so they are available online. The best way to learn about black magic is through books. Gandalf and Saruman are equally representative of this tradition, and most people find the Dark Side to be more interesting and powerful. Black magic is part of the magical tradition as much as white magic. We imagine a witch or a dark robbed man mumbling evil sounding words or perhaps sacrificing a living being on a self-made altar.Īnd this wouldn’t be entirely wrong.
Black magic is what most of us think about when we think of magic.
