"In Theoretical and Empirical Investigations of Divination and Magic ten leading scholars
of religion provide up-to-date investigations into the classic domains of divination
and magic. Spanning historical, anthropological, cognitive, philosophical and theoretical
chapters, the volume's authors invite the reader to explore how divinatory practices
and magical rituals, both apart and in interaction, can be reconceptualized in line
with 21st century scholarship. Following an introduction addressing the ever-pertinent
discussion of the status and epistemological value of the categories inherited from
our scholarly predecessors, the volume includes analyses of divinatory and magic practices
in particular historical areas, as well as comparative, theoretical and philosophical
discussions, making this an indispensable volume for anyone interested in broader
comparative approaches to magic and divination. In Theoretical and Empirical Investigations
