This course examines changing ideas

about the supernatural in Europe

from ca. 1400-1900. What kinds of

forces did Europeans believe were

active in their world, and how could

these forces be harnessed to

accomplish human goals?

HNRS 2030: Magic and Witchcraft in European History Dr. Leslie Tuttle T Th 12-1:20

We will trace Europeans' changing

ideas about nature and causation by

exploring the historical evolution of

beliefs about magic, witchcraft,

alchemy, divination, demonic

possession, and monsters.
