Magic in the City
Henry Bolston is an honest, hard-working, church-going businessman. He's a good neighbor, a dependable friend and a much sought-after bachelor. Life is good. But then comes the stock market crash and the Great Depression. In the midst of the turmoil, he falls in love with the beautiful stranger in town and unexpectedly starts a family. Dire circumstances force him to turn to bootlegging whiskey. What else could he do? He had grown up in extreme poverty and had no desire to return to that way of life or to subject his new family to such. During his struggle through this most turbulent time in American history, Henry discovers where the true "magic" lies in the Magic City.

The oldest roots of the European concepts of witchcraft and magic lie in the Hebrew and other cultures of the ancient Near East and in the Celtic, Nordic and Germanic Societies of the North and West. The authors of this volume survey three crucial aspects of this earliest phase of development. These are the role of magical incantations and rituals against witchcraft in Mesopotamia in the last three millennia BC, the attitudes to witchcraft and magic in the Old Testament and in later Jewish tradition, and the beliefs and legends associated with trolldomor (witchcraft) in pre-Christian Scandanavia.
