Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiences of magic and witchcraft in the early modern period have often been presented as extraordinary occurrences, when they were, from the perspective of people living during this period, part of a shared and familiar cosmological outlook. By presenting a range of everyday supernatural experiences, from spirit-assisted treasure hunting to magically-assisted recipes, this book will show the extent to which such incidents and the beliefs underlying them have common frames of reference and were accepted as legitimate, if unusual, practices.
