Magic - Its Role in Human Society
The Ancient Iranian priests of the Zoroastrian faith, the Magi or three Wise Men, have given us the word Magic. So what connection can we see between religion and the dazzling sleights of hand and psychological illusions that we associate with Magic today? What common functions have oracles, shamans, spirits and sacrifice played in the great diversity of human cultures? Speakers: Dr. Karl Bell, Dr. Xa Sturgis, Prof. Christina Toren, Prof. Piers Vitebsky
