Description

A History of Magic and Witchcraft in Wales by Richard Suggett Wales's rich history of magical specialists is often overlooked, but this book sheds light on the lives of those suspected of witchcraft and the communities that tracked them down. In the early modern period, witchcraft studies played a significant role in understanding the history of religion, power, and community in Europe. This book takes an inclusive approach to witchcraft, examining the lives of prophets, cunning-men, physicians, and other magical specialists who were both feared and revered. By exploring the experiences of these individuals, the book reveals the complexities of magical practices in Wales and challenges prevailing narratives about the history of witchcraft. By uncovering the untold stories of Wales's magical past, this book provides a fresh perspective on the history of witchcraft and its place within the broader context of European society.
