We no longer believe in witches as our ancestors once did. However,

How was magic practiced in medieval times? How did it relate to the

history of medieval magic in recent years, featuring new material
on angel magic, the archaeology of magic, and the magical efficacy
of words and imagination. Richard Kieckhefer shows how magic
represents a crossroads in medieval life and culture, examining its
relationship and relevance to religion, science, philosophy, art,
literature, and politics. In surveying the different types of magic
that were used, the kinds of people who practiced magic, and the
reasoning behind their beliefs, Kieckhefer shows how magic served
as a point of contact between the popular and elite classes, how
the reality of magical beliefs is reflected in the fiction of
medieval literature, and how the persecution of magic and
witchcraft led to changes in the law.

Starting in the 15th century, a fear of witchcraft and alternative
practices grew into a hysteria. Because witches were suspected to
be devil worshippers, they were considered heretics to the
Christian church. Consequently, the Christians launched a crusade
against these women and men. Matthew Hopkins was not only among the
greatest supporters of this crusade, but also one of the most
active participants. In just over a year, Matthew Hopkins, a
self-proclaimed "Witchfinder General", killed over one hundred
people. While the witch hunt hysteria infected much of the 17th
century society in England, there were still those who opposed the
accusations and discrimination against witches. After being
criticized for his work, Hopkins decided to publish a guide to
witch hunting, including methods to discover a witch, how to
torture them into a confession, and how to prosecute them. Along
with outlines of torture methods, such as sleep deprivation and
forced physical activity, The Discovery of Witches also addressed
the questions and concerns raised by those who did not support
Hopkins. Under the guise of being a man of God, Hopkins claimed to
have been sent on a divine mission to manipulate other religious
groups into joining his cause. As Hopkin's practices brought him
lucrative success, he rose to a short-lived power, but his
published doctrine spread his influence for years after his death.
The Discovery of Witches by Matthew Hopkins is a short text of
immeasurable insight. Though now recognized as zealot propaganda,
The Discovery of Witches depicts a chilling perspective of a
heinous time in history, including the concerns of those who
opposed it. While Hopkin's work immortalizes a fascinating yet
repulsive historical movement, it also invites readers to reflect
on the ways the spirit of his manipulation is still present in
modern society. This edition of The Discovery of Witches by Matthew
Hopkins features an eye-catching cover deign and is printed in an
easy-to-read font, making it both readable and modern.
