- Summary:
- "Magic, both benevolent and malign, has been practiced in the British Isles since at least the Iron Age. The Anglo-Saxons used ritual curses in documents, and wrote spells and charms. When they became Christians, the new "magicians" were saints, who performed miracles. The Church was able to quell the fear of magicians, but Reformation saw its revival"-- Provided by publisher.
