Lives of the Necromancers by William Godwin
"Lives of the Necromancers" by William Godwin is a historical account published in 1834. Godwin's final book examines paranormal legends and magical beliefs from western and Middle Eastern history, tracing tales of sorcery, witchcraft, and supernatural powers from ancient civilizations through the Dark Ages. The work explores how superstitions originated before the Scientific Revolution, covering figures from the Bible, Greek and Roman legends, medieval Europe, and the persecution of suspected witches, ultimately
chronicling humanity's enduring fascination with the mystical and unexplained. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
