So Potent Art: The Magic of Shakespeare - Paul Ferguson - 06-27-2026
"There are a lot of books about Shakespeare, and there are a lot of books about magic, but Emily Carding’s [i]So Potent Art: The Magic of Shakespeare[/i] does something rather special: it brings the two together in a way that feels both intelligent and alive. This is not just a book about witches in [i]Macbeth[/i] or fairies in [i]A Midsummer Night’s Dream[/i]. Those familiar examples are here, of course, but Carding goes much further. The book explores the magical, occult and esoteric currents that run through Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets, including astrology, alchemy, Hermeticism, prophecy, herbalism, ghosts, witchcraft, divine intervention and the symbolic power of theatre itself."
