Magic Through the Ages: History & the Occult with Hanael Parks

What do we really know about the history of magic, witchcraft, and the occult? In this episode, I’m joined by Hanael Parks to explore the fascinating historical roots of magical traditions and the ways ancient beliefs continue to influence modern spiritual practices.

We’re diving into the history of protective magic, the symbolism of serpents, ancient Egyptian magical traditions, alchemy, and the significance of magical objects throughout history. We’ll also explore how archaeology, folklore, and historical records help us understand where these ideas came from, how they evolved, and what we can actually learn from the evidence left behind.

Whether you’re a beginner witch curious about the origins of your practice or simply fascinated by the mysteries of the occult, this conversation invites you to approach magical history with curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of wonder. Rather than trying to prove or disprove spiritual beliefs, we’re following the evidence, asking questions, and uncovering the stories behind the magic.
