Abstract

The smell of magic is defined by many sources through ancient, medieval and early modern times. It is the scent of perfumes and the smell of other, less perfumed substances, that are burned to worship gods or to conjure demons and make them subjected to the summoner's will. But the question to answer is why fumigations should be an effective way to allure the demons and to please the gods?
