Published Blunders: Pagans and Platonists in Magliocco
Sabina Magliocco has written a book that, as a folklorist, is easily one of my most favorite academic texts. Witching Culture, though seminal in its journey through and education about Neo-Paganism, is rife with typos. Sorry, Sabina. I’m sure it’s no fault of yours, but the University of Pennsylvania Press makes you look prit-ty bad. Here’s one:
Whether or not Neo-Paganism is a direct descendant of Neoplatonism, each of these movements left is mark upon it.
Presumably, the UP Press meant to type, “each of these movements left its mark upon it”.
For those of you interested in witchcraft as a real movement you should have a look at Magliocco’s work. I saw her present at a conference a few years ago. The woman knows her stuff.
