Product ReviewsMagic in History Ser.: Forbidden Rites : A Necromancer's Manual of the Fifteenth Century by Richard Kieckhefer (1998, Trade Paperback)

Not Just for Practitioners

As somewhat of snob regarding most books about magic, I have been pleasantly surprised by this one. It's a fairly in-depth examination of not just a fairly well-preserved necromancy text, but also the social, cultural, and psychological impact it and other manuscripts of that ilk made on the people at that time.

Keeping that in mind, this is definitely not just a book for people that are into occultism; it's also a favorable find for anyone that has a love of history or early books.

All in all, it's informative without being dry and very well-researched. A definite must for any necromancer.Read full review...
