The Magic Hour
from Adventures in Nutopia · host David Bramwell
The word 'magic' derives from the Old Persian 'magush' – to have power and wisdom. Nowadays the word has multiple meanings including stage illusions, awe and wonder, and the kind of fictional sorcery found in Harry Potter, Buffy and Shakespeare. And then there is magical practise (also known to some as witchcraft). A somewhat ambitious final episode, in sixty minutes The Magic Hour attempts to cover the history of magical practise in the west – from Ancient Greece to present day – offer advice on how to start a magical practise and demonstrate that magic isn't fanciful nonsense or mere superstition as some might believe but a dance between our imaginations and the material world, and something that lies at the heart of every culture. With Dave Lee, Eimear Burke, Susan Greenwood, Mark Wagner, Andrew O'Neill and Efa Lois.
