I originally listened to it on audiobook, where I was fascinated by the vastness of included information relating to a multitude of cultures, religions, and regions. I wanted to share parts of the book, and that is when I looked up the physical version. WORTH IT! The layout is incredible, and the imagery in the entire book is spectacular. Not only is the text intriguing, the images throughout the book deepen understanding and relation to the historical context. It's also been a great resource for homeschool studies of various cultures throughout history.Would purchase again, and highly recommend to anyone with interests beyond modern day paganism. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic history of magic and the occult *by on Reviewed in the United States April 9, 2024* I just finished reading this and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great summary of the entire history of magic and the occult (and other religions) and was immensely informative. It's a quality book with very nice pictures that covered a lot of topics. It gives you a good overview without going into too much detail that would make it boring or harder to read, like a lot of these history book are. It's the pictures though that made this book. I felt like I was back in school studying to be an archeologist or historian - it is like a textbook in many ways. It's great to see visuals of everything that are describing and really added to the enjoyment of reading this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended *by on Reviewed in the United States May 13, 2026* Really impressive quality + interesting read ## Frequently Bought Together - A History of Magic, Witchcraft, and the Occult (DK A History of) - A History of Ghosts, Spirits and the Supernatural (DK A History of) - Signs and Symbols: An Illustrated Guide to Their Origins and Meanings (DK Compact Culture Guides) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/180752600-a-history-of-magic-witchcraft-and-the-occult-esoteric-histories](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/180752600-a-history-of-magic-witchcraft-and-the-occult-esoteric-histories) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
