Brujería y Magia: An Illustrated History

Delve into the visually rich and historically grounded world of witchcraft and magic with Brujería y Magia: An Illustrated History by Ruth Clydesdale. This hard-cover book (256 pages) provides a chronological journey from ancient mythological figures such as Circe, Medea, Morgana and Nimue, through the dark epochs of witch hunts and the destruction of pagan temples, to the modern transformation of witchcraft into a benevolent spiritual practice. 

Starting from how early societies attempted to control crop yields, health and livestock through magical practices—then moving to the fear and persecution of the witch figure—the book offers both historical narrative and compelling imagery that invites discovery. Ideal for readers interested in esotericism, art history, cultural anthropology or simply the striking intersection of myth and belief, this volume stands out for its design, clarity and accessible approach. It offers more than mere storytelling: a thoughtful visual and textual exploration of how “witchcraft” has been perceived and re-interpreted across centuries.
