As dusk fell on a misty evening in 1521, Martin Luther - hiding
from his enemies at Wartburg Castle - found himself seemingly
tormented by demons hurling walnuts at his bedroom window. In a fit
of rage, the great reformer threw at the Devil the inkwell from
which he was preparing his colossal translation of the Bible. A
belief - like Luther's - in the supernatural, and in black magic,
has been central to European cultural life for 3000 years. From the
Salem witch trials to the macabre novels of Dennis Wheatley; from
the sadistic persecution of eccentric village women to the
seductive sorceresses of TV's Charmed; and from Derek Jarman's punk
film Jubilee to Ken Russell's The Devils, John Callow brings the
twilight world of the witch, mage and necromancer to vivid and
fascinating life. He takes us into a shadowy landscape where, in an
age before modern drugs, the onset of sudden illness was readily
explained by malevolent spellcasting. And where dark, winding
country lanes could terrify by night, as the hoot of an owl or
shriek of a fox became the desolate cries of unseen
spirits.Witchcraft has profoundly shaped the western imagination,
and endures in the forms of modern-day Wicca and paganism.
Embracing the Darkness is an enthralling account of this
fascinating aspect of the western cultural experience.
