Since the dawn of civilization, people have resorted to ideas that featured the use of occult power such as magic, astrology, and witchcraft. Some occult practices originated in ancient times, then gained definitive form in the middle ages and Renaissance. Over time, some ideas fell by the way side, but others have been reworked down through the centuries and are still with us today. A study of these belief systems will provide students with new insights into the historical role occult themes have played in shaping and influencing western thought. Offered periodically.
