The Amulet of Yggdrasil is a powerful artifact that is believed to have the ability to connect the nine realms of Norse mythology. In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is the World Tree that connects the realms of gods, humans, and monsters. The Amulet of Yggdrasil is said to be able to open portals to each of the nine realms, allowing the wearer to travel between them. These realms include Asgard, the realm of the gods, Midgard, the realm of humans, and Jotunheim, the realm of the giants. The amulet is said to be made of a special material called "Yggdrasilium," which is said to be imbued with the power of Yggdrasil itself. It is believed that the amulet was created by the gods to aid them in their travels between the realms.
This fact may be shocking, as today we perceive midwiving to be a positive career. What could be so wicked about helping safely deliver babies, or using herbal remedies to alleviate the pain of childbirth? However, it was likely the employment of plant medicines that posed the biggest issue for the Catholic Church during this time. For instance in Western Europe, midwives often used belladonna, deadly nightshade, and ergot ,a fungus which grows on rye, during the labor process (Lang). These remedies seemed to be generally effective in easing some of the suffering of childbirth, yet, the church likely perceived any attempt to assuage this pain as a violation of God’s wishes (Ehrenreich and English).
Because the numbers of healers midwives persecuted were not widely recorded, studies may either over or under exaggerate their role in the phenomenon.

An Anatomy of Witchcraft Between Cognitive Sciences and History
Much has been written on witchcraft by historians, theologians, philosophers, and anthropologists, but nothing by scientists. This book aims to reappraise witchcraft by applying to it the advances in cognitive sciences.
The book is divided into four parts. Part I ("Deep History") deals with human emotions and the drive to represent witches as evil female agents. Part II ("Historical Times") focuses on those rare state and church repressions of malefice, which, surprisingly, did not feature in Islamic lands. Modern urbanization dealt a blow to the rural civilizations where accusations of witchcraft were rife. Part III ("In the Laboratory") applies neuroscience to specific case studies to investigate the personification of misfortune, the millenary stereotype witch = woman, the reality of evil, and the phenomenon of treasure hunting. Part IV ("Millenials") wonders whether intentional malefic hatred in a closed chapter in the history of humanity.
An Anatomy of Witchcraft is ideal reading for students and scholars. Given its interdisciplinary nature, the book will be of interest to scholars from many fields including evolutionary psychology, anthropology, women’s history, and cognitive sciences.

1. John - 2 stars
I found "Amulet of Yggdrasil: All 9 Realms" to be quite disappointing. The storyline lacked depth and failed to engage me from the beginning. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked development, making it difficult for me to form any emotional connection with them. Additionally, the writing style felt rushed and disjointed, which further affected my overall reading experience. Overall, I would not recommend this book if you are looking for a well-crafted and captivating fantasy tale.

While "Amulet of Yggdrasil: All 9 Realms" had an interesting concept and potential, it fell short in execution. The pacing was uneven, with slow and boring parts interspersed with hurried developments that left me feeling confused. The world-building was also underdeveloped, as it lacked the necessary details and descriptions to fully immerse the reader in the fantastical realms. Furthermore, the dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult for me to connect with the characters on a deeper level. Overall, this book had potential but ultimately failed to deliver a satisfying reading experience.
