Synopsis Religion and the Decline of Magic by : Keith Thomas
Witchcraft, astrology, divination and every kind of popular magic flourished in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, from the belief that a blessed amulet could prevent the assaults of the Devil to the use of the same charms to recover stolen goods. At the same time the Protestant Reformation attempted to take the magic out of religion, and scientists were developing new explanations of the universe. Keith Thomas's classic analysis of beliefs held on every level of English society begins with the collapse of the medieval Church and ends with the changing intellectual atmosphere around 1700, when science and rationalism began to challenge the older systems of belief.

Synopsis Field Manual for the Archaeology of Ritual, Religion, and Magic by : C. Riley Augé
By bringing together in one place specific objects, materials, and features indicating ritual, religious, or magical belief used by people around the world and through time, this tool will assist archaeologists in identifying evidence of belief-related behaviors and broadening their understanding of how those behaviors may also be seen through less obvious evidential lines. Instruction and templates for recording, typologizing, classifying, and analyzing ritual or magico-religious material culture are also provided to guide researchers in the survey, collection, and cataloging processes. The bulleted formatting and topical range make this a highly accessible work, while providing an incredible wealth of information in a single volume.

Synopsis Belief Magic by : Paul W. Marko
Marko exposes the truth about the mental processes and outside forces that cement you firmly into what he refers to as "your belief wardrobe." The book is crammed with fascinating information designed to trigger breakthroughs in understanding the how's and the whys of your currently held beliefs. Some of which may not be in your best interest and may indeed render you more subject to control and manipulation by advertisers, governments or other interested parties. The insights spotlighted in this colorful but practical expos� include a process that he describes as "intentional belief acquisition and management" (as opposed to beliefs superimposed by media, schooling or the TV hive mind). You may be surprised to learn the criteria that your ego uses to select your beliefs and how much effort is expended by outside forces to render your beliefs compatible with their aims. Also as a side benefit, understanding how the ego within everybody determines beliefs often helps in developing an appreciation of those around you that may have limiting beliefs and possible ways to aid them in realizing the circular nature of their predicament where beliefs select data to reinforce their chosen truth.In an unusually clear and instructive fashion the author provides breakthrough information and techniques intended to successfully lead to the development of an expanded worldview. One from which you can remake your reality to one where miracles are able to be seen all around you and magic can move from the realm of scientific anomaly to a lived experience with infinite possibilities. This new "Science of Liberation" may just be the element that puts humanity back on the path to conscious heaven.

Synopsis Jewish Magic and Superstition by : Joshua Trachtenberg
Alongside the formal development of Judaism from the eleventh through the sixteenth centuries, a robust Jewish folk religion flourished—ideas and practices that never met with wholehearted approval by religious leaders yet enjoyed such wide popularity that they could not be altogether excluded from the religion. According to Joshua Trachtenberg, it is not possible truly to understand the experience and history of the Jewish people without attempting to recover their folklife and beliefs from centuries past. Jewish Magic and Superstition is a masterful and utterly fascinating exploration of religious forms that have all but disappeared yet persist in the imagination. The volume begins with legends of Jewish sorcery and proceeds to discuss beliefs about the evil eye, spirits of the dead, powers of good, the famous legend of the golem, procedures for casting spells, the use of gems and amulets, how to battle spirits, the ritual of circumcision, herbal folk remedies, fortune telling, astrology, and the interpretation of dreams. First published more than sixty years ago, Trachtenberg's study remains the foundational scholarship on magical practices in the Jewish world and offers an understanding of folk beliefs that expressed most eloquently the everyday religion of the Jewish people.
