From simple charms to complex and subversive rituals to summon demons, diverse forms of magic were practised in the Middle Ages.

It examines representations of the magician, wise-woman and witch; magical objects; and ritual procedures, revealing the medieval fascination with the points of contact between this world and the celestial and infernal realms.
