shakespearean magic.

John William Waterhouse, The Magic Circle. 1886.
Not Shakespearean, but definitely magic in theme and Victorian. 
I think I've realized a focus for the next little bit. I'm really interested in the magic and rituals that are described in Shakespeare's plays, so my plan for now is to read Macbeth and review The Tempest then see how it all fits into Victorian revivalism of ritualism.
I know this is an ity bity post, but it's a start for the weekend!
