OUDCE Open Event 2018 Ritual and magic have been profoundly significant to societies all over the world and throughout human history. In this talk, we explore how our need for the supernatural has been expressed by different cultures in many forms. But why is the occult evidently so important to us as a species? Through an anthropological lens, we glimpse a realm of humanity that can be both enlightening and terrifying.
