The author of the paper attempts to present the other side of Jan Bohomolec’s (1772–1777) text — Diabeł w swojej postaci (Devil As It Is), which has already been an object of research reflection. The paper describes images of other cultures included in Bohomolec’s dissertation and contemporary phenomena which seem to be parallel to the phenomena described by the Jesuit. The Author has noticed that the examples of magic activities in Bohomolec’s book are subordinated to educational value of the dissertation. Exemplification from non-European countries illustrates a thought that similar or identical behaviours are common in many cultures and places. They also bear out that superstitions are an across-theboard phenomenon. In the second part of the paper, the Author focuses on contemporary cultural trends in the context of popularity of magic. She considers timeliness and anachronism of some of the Bohomolec’s approaches and his wrong prognosis.
