Official Magic and Witchcraft News: Magic, Witchcraft and Religion professor dedicated to the study of the unknown
ED Selected Extract:
“I think that’s what attracts students to taking this class. It’s about religion, but it’s also about something else very fascinating, very strange [and] foreign.”
Instead of tackling magic from a fantasy viewpoint, this course focuses heavily on the anthropological understanding of both religion and witchcraft, and the symbolism that witchcraft portrays.
Kreinath said he finds the study of rituals “ immensely fascinating.” “They are doing symbolic acts, but at the same time, they kind of have an effect on the environment,” Kreinath explained. He said magic ties into ancient traditions. “What is done in a ritual? What is told in a myth? That also has something to do with indigenous traditions,” he said. Kreinath said cultures have historically classified each other’s religions as “magic.”
“That’s what you can find from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century where magic is what the other people are doing,” he said. “We are doing religion, they are doing magic.”
