Society for the Academic Study of Magic

June 7th, 2003 by Klintron

Two post-grads in Bristols have founded the Society for the Academic Study of Magic for scholars interested in magic, occultism, alternative spirtuality, etc. Their aims:

  • Provide a network for scholars interested in the study of magic
  • Inform members of upcoming conferences and events concerning the study of magic
  • Provide listings of recent publications and employment opportunities in the subject area, and
  • Publish a printed Journal yearly, containing news, book reviews and articles of interest.

  • They say “the orientation of SASM (and our associated Journal) is toward the scholarly study of magic and its history, sociology, philosophy, psychology, literature etc., rather than ?hands-on? participation in its practical application.”
