From early sorcery trials of the 14th centuryassociated primarily with French and Papal courtsto the witch executions of the late 18th century, this book's entries cover witchhunting 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 witchfinders cover specific aspects of the witchhunting 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 presentday 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 witchhunting 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.
