Numerous references are given throughout, in the hope that those who wish to pursue the subject further, and in greater detail, may derive benefit therefrom. Contents: development of magic; magic in practice; necromancy; deities invoked by magicians; famous exponents of magic: Medea, Circe, Simaetha, Alphesibceus’ Sorceress; Canidia, Erichtho, Pamphile, other witches.
