This was a fascinating listen that included information from the far reaches of history all the way to present day. Touching upon many different aspects from religions long ago, the witch trials, history of Tarot, and so much more. The Podcast 'Stuff You Missed in History Class' had an episode regarding the history of Tarot in October of 2020 and 'Bones and Bobbins' another podcast has been focusing quite a bit about Witchcraft, since the hosts are Witches. That brought about an interest in me, I found it interesting to listen to this overview of the history of Witchcraft. If you have a specific interest, Witch Bottles (Bones and Bobbins), or Tarot you would be better off listening to the podcasts. There are several interesting books that cover the Salem Witch Trials, the ones that I have listened to are very good at covering and explaining the Witchfinder General.

I have yet to have a DK book disappoint. Susanna Lipscomb, is a professor of history at the University of Roehampton, a fellow of the royal historical society, and a fellow of the higher education academy. She helped bring this book together. Its a large book with a good amount of info but don't be afraid to do further research. Prof Emily Selove, who leads the course, said: “A recent surge in interest in magic and the occult inside and outside academia lies at the heart of the most urgent questions of our society. Decolonisation, the exploration of alternative epistemologies, feminism, and anti-racism are at the core of this programme.” A History of Magic, Witchcraft, and the Occult charts the extraordinary narrative of one of the most interesting and often controversial subjects in the world--from ancient animal worship and shamanism, through alchemy and divination to modern Wicca and the resurgence of the occult in 21st-century literature, movies, and television.If the hit drama Succession has left you hankering for more of the super-rich in your life, Solent University offers an Msc in superyacht design – although you’ll need at least a 2:1 in engineering or technology to understand the course’s blend of naval architecture and structural design.
