Download or read book Science and Magic in the Modern World written by Eugene Subbotsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science and Magic in the Modern World is a unique text that explores the role of magical thinking in everyday life. It provides an excellent psychological look at the subconscious belief in magic in both popular culture and society, as well as experimental research that considers human consciousness as a derivative of belief in the supernatural, thus showing that our feelings, emotions, attitudes and other psychological processes follow the laws of magic. This book synthesises the science of ‘natural’ phenomena and the magic of the ‘supernatural’ to present an interesting look at the juxtaposition of the inner and outer selves. Fusing research into psychological disorders, subconscious feelings, as well as the rising presence of artificial intelligence, this book demonstrates how an engagement with magical thinking can enhance one’s creativity and cognitive skills. Science and Magic in the Modern World is an invaluable resource for those studying consciousness, as well as those looking at the effect of magical thinking on religion, politics, science and society.

Download or read book Magic Flutes and Enchanted Forests written by David J. Buch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on hundreds of operas, singspiels, ballets, and plays with supernatural themes, Magic Flutes and Enchanted Forests argues that the tension between fantasy and Enlightenment-era rationality shaped some of the most important works of eighteenth-century musical theater and profoundly influenced how audiences and critics responded to them. David J. Buch reveals that despite—and perhaps even because of—their fundamental irrationality, fantastic and exotic themes acquired extraordinary force and popularity during the period, pervading theatrical works with music in the French, German, and Italian mainstream. Considering prominent compositions by Gluck, Rameau, and Haydn, as well as many seminal contributions by lesser-known artists, Buch locates the origins of these magical elements in such historical sources as ancient mythology, European fairy tales, the Arabian Nights, and the occult. He concludes with a brilliant excavation of the supernatural roots of Mozart’s The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni, building a new foundation for our understanding of the magical themes that proliferated in Mozart’s wake.

Download or read book Ancient Magic: A Practitioner's Guide to the Supernatural in Greece and Rome written by Philip Matyszak and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible historical exploration of the methods and motivations behind using magic in ancient Greece and Rome. In the ancient world, magic was everywhere. The supernatural abounded, turning flowers into fruit and caterpillars into butterflies. In a time before scientists studied weather patterns and figured out what caused the Earth’s most mysterious phenomena, it was magic that packed a cloud full of energy until it exploded with thunderbolts. It was everyday magic, but it was still magical. In Ancient Magic, author Philip Matyszak ushers readers into that world, showing how ancient Greeks and Romans concocted love potions and cast curses, how they talked to the dead and protected themselves from evil spirits. He takes readers to a world where gods interacted with humans and where people could not only talk to spirits and deities, but could themselves become divine. Ancient Magic presents us with a new understanding of the role of magic, combining a classical historiography with a practical how-to guide. Using a wide array of sources and lavish illustrations, this book offers an engaging and accessible way into the supernatural for all.

Book excerpt: "The first time I called myself a 'Witch' was the most magical moment of my life."― Margot Adler. Merry Meet! I am a witch who lives in a small mountain village in Italy, and witchcraft and magic are a daily part of my life. It has been a strange, wondrous, sometimes terrifying, and painful journey that brought me here from Canada, where I was born. When I first arrived in Italy, I had the opportunity to visit an archaeological site that was sacred to the indigenous pagans in the area. Alone, I thought this would be a great time to do some shamanic work and try to connect with any of the local spirits who might be around. Not only was I given the gift of many new insights, but I had the uncanny feeling that the Spirits of the Land and Sky were preparing a project for me. At the time I had no idea what that project was going to be, but I now understand it to be, at least in part, the writing of this book. An invitation to learn about witchcraft, what it is and how to do it. I am a modern cosmic witch, and this book will give you a good basic introduction to what it means to be a witch in the 21st century. "To reclaim the word witch is to reclaim our right, as women, to be powerful" - Starhawk. This is a book about witches and witchcraft written by a witch and designed to be accessible to anyone who has even had a mild curiosity about this subject. Here we will explore our traditions, myths, magic, female sexuality, the supernatural, and empowerment. I will write about the terror of the European witch hunts, and some of the historical witches I have come across in my research and how these women have inspired me. We will then fly up to the present day, when millions of people across the world are identifying as witches and pagans at a time when nature is at serious risk and Western society desperately needs to be enchanted. The intention of this book is to inspire, enchant, empower, and challenge you, whether you identify as a witch or not. Welcome to Cosmic Witch! Welcome to Magic!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining and illuminating collection of weird, wonderful, and downright baffling words from the origins of English—and what they reveal about the lives of the earliest English speakers Old English is the language you think you know until you actually hear or see it. Unlike Shakespearean English or even Chaucer’s Middle English, Old English—the language of Beowulf—defies comprehension by untrained modern readers. Used throughout much of Britain more than a thousand years ago, it is rich with words that haven’t changed (like word), others that are unrecognizable (such as neorxnawang, or paradise), and some that are mystifying even in translation (gafol-fisc, or tax-fish). In this delightful book, Hana Videen gathers a glorious trove of these gems and uses them to illuminate the lives of the earliest English speakers. We discover a world where choking on a bit of bread might prove your guilt, where fiend-ship was as likely as friendship, and where you might grow up to be a laughter-smith. The Wordhord takes readers on a journey through Old English words and customs related to practical daily activities (eating, drinking, learning, working); relationships and entertainment; health and the body, mind, and soul; the natural world (animals, plants, and weather); locations and travel (the source of some of the most evocative words in Old English); mortality, religion, and fate; and the imagination and storytelling. Each chapter ends with its own “wordhord”—a list of its Old English terms, with definitions and pronunciations. Entertaining and enlightening, The Wordhord reveals the magical roots of the language you’re reading right now: you’ll never look at—or speak—English in the same way again.

So when the secretive League of Magicians offers her a chance to stand up for magiciankind as its new leader, she declines. She’s got enough to worry about! But her refusal allows someone else to step forward, a magician with dangerous plans for the League. This challenge sparks the start of the Great Game, a competition to decide who will become the Night Brothers’ successor and determine the future of magiciankind. The Great Game is both mysterious and deadly, but among the winner’s magical rewards is Quinton’s last hope—so how can Amari refuse?
