The early years of practical magic can be traced back to ancient civilizations and cultures. Throughout history, magic was believed to have the power to connect humans with the supernatural realm and influence the natural world. In ancient Egypt, magical rituals and spells were an integral part of religious practices, and Egyptians sought the help of skilled magicians to perform magical acts. Similarly, in ancient Greece and Rome, magic was closely tied to religion and was used for healing, protection, and divination. During the medieval period, there was a resurgence of interest in magic. Scholars such as Albertus Magnus and Paracelsus studied and practiced magic alongside other fields of knowledge.

Cauldron Witch (2008)
The Cauldron Witch was an animatronic sold by Spirit Halloween for the 2008 Halloween season. It resembled a green-skinned witch wearing purple and black clothing in front of a cauldron. When activated, the witch swayed from side to side, moved her mouth, eyes, and head, and stirred the cauldron while speaking eerie phrases.
Scholars such as Albertus Magnus and Paracelsus studied and practiced magic alongside other fields of knowledge. Magic during this time was divided into two main branches - natural magic and ceremonial magic. Natural magic involved using natural materials and substances to achieve desired effects, while ceremonial magic involved complex rituals and summoning of spirits.

The Renaissance saw a further development of magical practices. Notable figures such as John Dee and Giordano Bruno were known for their exploration of alchemy, astrology, and the occult. Dee, in particular, was an advisor to Queen Elizabeth I and was highly regarded for his knowledge of mathematics, astrology, and his ability to communicate with angels through a crystal ball. As the enlightenment era and scientific progress took hold, the practice of magic faced increasing skepticism and condemnation. In 1735, the Witchcraft Act was passed in England, making it a crime to claim magical or supernatural powers. However, despite the repression, magic continued to be practiced in secrecy, with various occult orders and secret societies emerging during the 18th and 19th centuries. The early years of practical magic laid the foundation for the diverse range of magical practices seen today. It was a time of exploration, experimentation, and a belief in the unseen forces that governed the universe. While many ancient magical practices are no longer widely practiced, their influences can still be seen in contemporary magical traditions such as Wicca, ceremonial magic, and neo-paganism. Today, practical magic continues to captivate and intrigue people, offering a way to connect with the mystical and supernatural in our modern world..

I had high hopes for "The early years of practical magic", but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The pacing was slow, and the plot felt forced and convoluted. The characters lacked depth and development, making it hard to root for them or care about what happened to them. Additionally, the magic system wasn't explained well, leaving me feeling confused and disconnected from the story. Overall, I found it to be a frustrating and underwhelming reading experience.
3. Sarah - 2.5 stars
While "The early years of practical magic" had an intriguing concept, it failed to deliver on its promise. The writing was average at best, with clichéd prose and underdeveloped descriptions. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked complexity, making it difficult to emotionally invest in their journeys. The pacing was inconsistent, with sluggish sections that dragged on, and the resolution felt rushed and unsatisfying. Despite some potential, this book ultimately left me feeling disappointed and unengaged.
