You will not hear a conversation like this anywhere else. Was the D&D magic system an extension of the existing Western occult tradition, or a break from it? To answer that question, historian of magic, author, and eldritch librarian Dan Harms joins Dr. Scott Bruner, TTRPG academic, & Ben Riggs, D&D historian, for a discussion that takes us from real-world wandering medieval mage-priests to the pages of the blasphemous Necronomicon itself!

Dan recommended a few books for our audience:

Defining Magic: A Reader

Witch Bottles

The Book of Four Occult Philosophers

Authentic Thaumaturgy

The Necronomicon Files
