Using in-depth examples of »magical » practice such as exorcisms, love rites, alchemy and the transformation of humans into divine beings, this lively volume demonstrates that the word »magic » was used widely in late antique texts as part of polemics against enemies and sometimes merely as a term for other people »s rituals. Naomi Janowitz shows that »magical » activities were integral to late antique religious practice, and that they must be understood from the perspective of those who employed them.
