Gain Blessings and Good Fortune with the Wisdom of the Magyars

The magic of the past echoes through the ages and springs into new life with this treasure trove of Hungarian beliefs. Sharing lore and customs—some that have never been published in English before now—Margit Tóth introduces you to the folk religion of the Magyar people, past and present.

Meticulously researched, this book features many aspects of Hungarian myth and magic, including spirits, daily practices, rites of passage, and yearly celebrations. Margit highlights how the Magyars used charms and spells to protect home and family, bring love and healing to their communities, and more. From learning about sacred animals to studying different forms of divination, the gifts of Mágia are yours to discover.

Reviews for Mágia: Hungarian Myth, Magic, and Folklore

A detailed, comprehensive, fascinating, and accessible book of folkways and magical traditions. Featuring both historical and practical material, this book will be of interest to those seeking information not only about Hungary's ancient Pagan traditions, but also its unique Catholic folk magic. Toth is a warm, friendly presence, as she guides us into the realms of Magyar magic and spirituality...So much of the material in this book has not been available to English readers until now, making Magia a must-have for all who love folk magic. --Judika Illes, author of Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells and Encyclopedia of Spirits I so loved this book! Margit Toth has given us a wonderful gift, a treasure-trove of folklore from her own Hungary, much of which has not been available in English translation. Her words evoke a pre-modern time when every aspect of life was intrinsically embedded in the seasons of the year, and magic was the way one lived each day. --Holli Emore, executive director of Cherry Hill Seminary
