THE RED TENT GROUP - 1 OF 4 CHOICES FOR 2011 STUDY SERIES

I am presenting you with four varying options for our upcoming studies together -- review all four and then vote for the one you like best. 

1.  Jewish Magic and Superstition, a Study in Folk Religion by Joshua Trachtenberg - book now available by Forgotten Books for purchase at a reasonable price or free online.   Here are some of the topics:

The Legend of Jewish Sorcery
The Powers of Evil
Man and The Demons
The Spirits of the Dead
The Powers of Good
The Bible in Magic
Amulets
Medicine
Dreams

Even though this book is titled, "Jewish Magic," folk magic was common in all peoples at this time and all faiths will find this discussion of ancient practices interesting.  We can see where some of our rituals and beliefs originate.

For this choice, you should get a copy of this book.
