Format:Paperback
This is one of the best-written, most lucid accounts of black magic that I've read, and believe me, I've read a lot of them. I don't care if Cavendish believes a word of it, his review of what's what is fun.
Usually, the sceptics are too busy de-bunking, and the believers too busy being credulous, so the whole subject ends up being tedious. Unless, of course, you are determined to try some magic yourself, in which case, you will need all the credulity you can muster. Cavendish treats it all with a light hand, and gives a nice overview of the subject.
Have fun. Read this before you plunge into the study of the occult - it'll save you a lot of floundering around.

I think alot of people get this wrong. This isn't a recipe book to summon demons, or your typically pro-occult book. It tells the story more of the fusing together of various belief systems, to create the occult beliefs of the middle ages. I for one am pleased that there is a book that neither denounces nor condones these belief or practices but lets you decide for yourself. Cavendish style is easy to read, and his explainations are clear. A must for those wishing to explore to history of all things occult, without any annoying bias.

This is a well-written and entertaining book that wears its very real scholarship lightly. It is a high level introduction to occult practices. A very enjoyable read.
