Arbitrary heading[edit]

just a scratchpad so far; could be extended into a full-length article. Should maybe be extended to include Baroque, a full 150 years that at present fall between the cracks in the main article. dab (𒁳) 09:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good start. Word of warning, though. The Renaissance isn't the Baroque. There were important development in the theory of magic during the Renaissance that have distinctly Renaissance characteristics such as the rediscovery of Pagan antiquity and Humanism.

I know: that's why I am saying the scope should either be expanded, or, ideally, a separate article on the Baroque period should be created. dab (𒁳) 18:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

@Dbachmann: I've expanded the Renaissance material into a full-length article. I've moved the list of Baroque magicians to Magic (supernatural) for now, until a standalone article can be created from it. Skyerise (talk) 23:29, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitrary heading 2[edit]

Are there any plans to actually go through, add proper citations and flesh out the articles content? It appears that there is are a lot of sources and ideas that could be blown up. Such as delving specifically into the individual types of magic (such as geomancy) for this time period.Jtm7dd (talk) 17:42, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am adding brief sections to explain each type of magic during the renaissance period. Jtm7dd (talk) 16:22, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
