Hey everyone! Iām offering an online seminar this semester: "Magic in the Ancient World." Iāve adapted it from a university-level course I used to teach at Boston University.

Topics weāll cover include amulets, curse tablets, incantation bowls, Roman law, medicine, and theory/method (i.e. defining magic vis-a-vis religion). Iāll be recording each session too, so no worries if you canāt make the seminar live. Register here!: www.religiondepartment.com/
