Inhalt/Klappentext
At certain periods in history hysteria and paranoia overcame many societies, and with them came the belief that all their troubles were the result of witchcraft. For the alleged crime of witchcraft a simple accusation was often enough to guarantee the horrific torture of the accused to extract a confession, then he or she would be subjected to a protracted and agonizing execution.
"Witchcraft" traces the history of witchcraft, witch trials and the people who were accused of, or who confessed to, being witches. It also examines the symbols, objects and concepts claimed to be associated with witchcraft and looks at Wicca, the modern neopagan religion of benevolent magic.
