Magic, ancient Near East

Joann Scurlock

Abstrak

Abstract Interaction between human beings and spirits in the ancient Near East was readily divisible into two unequal parts. Of these, one part, which we might term “religion,” was god‐centered. The other part, by contrast, which we might term “magic,” was man‐centered. Magic came in three types: good magic, bad magic (sorcery), and conditional magic.
