Oh. Well, that isn't impudent and narrow minded. He sounds like many dead white guys that we no longer read or actively promote. There really isn't any difference when it comes to anything vaguely magical at all in the grandest scheme of things, but probably Agrippa's idea of nature magick is anything involving people dancing around naked and intoxicated, or sacrificing animals ie. Things we consider to be maybe tribal (with a nod to shamanic influences?)
That's a good idea, and I didn't think of it. Upon further consideration, however, I feel both my suggestion of witchcraft and your suggestion of shamanic ideas is incorrect - I have read that Agrippa was a stalwart Christian, unorthodox as he may appear. In any case, medieval Europe was a poor place to espouse shamanism and witchcraft!
