From the author

Magic has always been considered a mystical, powerful force that was feared and respected - invisible, but very real. Some ancient peoples believed that if offerings were left in temples for gods and goddesses, they would share their magic and bring prosperity to people. Some thought that witches and sorcerers could curb magic. As soon as they did not name those who used magic: witches, magicians, sorcerers, wizards, shamans. All of them were credited with the ability to do good or harm to others (for example, predict the future or cast curses) with the help of spells, potions and witchcraft rituals.

Our story begins five thousand years ago, in the cradle of human civilization in the Middle East where sorcerers-priests tried to heal the sick with the help of magic. We will go through the whole story: we will see severe Scandinavian soothsayers, listen to how medieval witches cast spells, figure out how voodoo priests make amulets, and learn much more. We will also get to know some of the ancient myths associated with magic, and meet the most famous witches and sorcerers.

Sit back. The journey into the mysterious world of magic begins!
