This book embarks on a fascinating exploration of the evolving worldview within ancient Judaism by the turn of the Common Era. At that time, a profound shift occurred in the perception of malevolent, semi-autonomous spirits, which were increasingly viewed as constant threats to individuals. These spirits were believed to be significant contributors to illness and immorality. As a response to this perceived threat, magical treatments, including incantation bowls, were developed to exorcise these evil spirits and counteract the harm they posed to individuals and households.
