FAMILIAR

Since the dawn of history man has believed in miracles. The

first tribesmen to discover the healing power of herbs, or to

recognize clouds as the forerunners ofrain, were elected magi,

or wise men. From this it was but a short step to divining the

future and to the formulation of spells to increase fertility or

destroy enemies.

As long ago as the Stone Age the wise man of the tribe was

dressed in an animal skin; he was called 'devil', which meant

'little god', and was worshipped by his followers as the chief

god's representative. The earliest record of this custom is a

palaeolithic painting found in a cave in the Ariege district of

southern France. It depicts a man clad in a stag's skin, with

antlers on his head-the Horned God, a symbol of benevolent

power in primitive times. Another, a man disguised as a

jackal, carved on slate, dates back to archaic Egypt.

In about 1100 B.C. women and officers of the harem of

Rameses III were brought to trial for making wax images of

the Pharaoh to the accompaniment of magic incantations.

These images were fith-faths, still used by witches today

against their enemies.

History shows that, as a new religion succeeds the old, the
