Tales of Witchcraft and Wonder

This collection of medieval tales, accompanied by insightful commentary, explores stories of witchcraft, wonder, and the supernatural from Classical Antiquity through the Middle Ages, revealing their cultural, esoteric, and pagan origins. The authors include previously untranslated and obscure stories, some scandalous in nature, that challenge traditional Christian narratives and demonstrate how ancient beliefs persisted across centuries. Through tales of magical animals, supernatural powers, miracles, and demonic apparitions, the collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the enduring influence of pagan concepts woven into European legend and folklore.
