A Module in Introduction to Ancient Magic
• Non-Sequential Series
Mixed Lecture/Discussion

Low intensity
In this module we examine the use of magic in the early Christian world, its relationship with contemporary magic, and related texts. We will explore the origins of this magic, how it was used, and how it evolved over time. We will look at both religious and non-religious magic through a number of examples, both verbal spells and magical items, such as Aramaic incantation bowls.
