From early sorcery trials of the 14th century--associated primarily
with French and Papal courts--to the witch executions of the late
18th century, this book's entries cover witch-hunting in individual
countries, major witch trials from Chelmsford, England, to Salem,
Massachusetts, and significant individuals from famous witches to
the devout persecutors. Entries such as the evil eye, familiars,
and witch-finders cover specific aspects of the witch-hunting
process, while entries on writers and modern interpretations
provide insight into the current thinking on early modern witch
hunts. From the wicked witch of children's stories to Halloween and
present-day Wiccan groups, witches and witchcraft still fascinate
observers of Western culture. Witches were believed to affect
climatological catastrophes, put spells on their neighbors, and
cavort with the devil. In early modern Europe and the Americas,
witches and witch-hunting were an integral part of everyday life,
touching major events such as the Reformation and the Scientific
Revolution, as well as politics, law, medicine, and culture.
