for those who missed the first episode I will be videoing all three and you are welcome to borrow it once the tape is finished.
Reason why it mainly focused on chrisitianity was to give the historical view of magic (with or without the k) in this country. I did like the way they showed what was called magic, or the devil's work back in the day (so to speak), which seemed to encapsulate everything that wasn't part of the Protestant Church, encluding the catholic church at times.
It was rushed but there were a fair few years to pack into the programme. The Guardian guide had it at "1,500 years in an hour, or 25 years a minute". Plus I think the title of the series means they are only going to look at the believes in magic over the years, whether pro or con.
I'm guessing next saturday the episode will be science belief vs. magic belief and then the third showing the rise of the "new age" movement, but it's just a guess.
Have found this site here
for the series which goes into the history and has a few links too. |
