Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the history of sorcery and magic in Europe, exploring its evolution from ancient pagan beliefs to the witch hunts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The author delves into the various forms that superstition took, from the almost unobserved fables of the vulgar to the powerful tool used by the Church to crush dissent and consolidate its power. The author explores the darker side of history, examining how superstition affected the lives of ordinary people, and how the belief in witchcraft was used to justify persecution and violence. The book explores the role of women as witches and their alleged powers, and the influence of the Church in promoting and exploiting the fear of witchcraft. Through a series of captivating narratives drawn from historical records, the book reveals the complex interplay between superstition, religious belief, and social order. The book offers a unique insight into the dark corners of medieval and early modern Europe and highlights the enduring power of fear and prejudice in shaping human history.
