Bringing together leading historians, anthropologists, and
religionists, this volume examines the unbridled passions of
witchcraft from the Middle Ages to the present. Witchcraft is an
intensely emotional crime, rooted in the belief that envy and spite
can cause illness or even death. Witch-trials in turn are
emotionally driven by the grief of alleged victims and by the fears
of magistrates and demonologists. With examples ranging from Russia
to New England, Germany to Cameroon, chapters cover the
representation of emotional witches in demonology and art; the
gendering of witchcraft as female envy or male rage; witchcraft as
a form of bullying and witchcraft accusation as a form of therapy;
love magic and demon-lovers; and the affective memorialization of
the "Burning Times" among contemporary Pagan feminists.
Wide-ranging and methodologically diverse, the book is appropriate
for scholars of witchcraft, gender, and emotions; for graduate or
undergraduate courses, and for the interested general reader.
