3. Folklore and Mythology 106: Witchcraft and Charm Magic – Students at Harvard lead a charmed life. Two done, three more to go – the third easiest on our list of easiest and hardest concentrations at Harvard is the course that isn’t always offered but luckily it is open this semester, so bring on Spring 2017! Per the course description, this course examines witchcraft (and the “magical world view”) from cross-cultural, historical, and literary perspectives. The class is further specified that “although witches and witchcraft are considered in their non-Western settings, the course focuses on the melding of Christian and pagan views of witchcraft and magic in the European Middle Ages, and the evolving construction of witchcraft ideologies through the witch crazes of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to the rise of modern paganism.”
