Description
The Witch: A History of Fear, from Ancient Times to the Present This comprehensive history of witchcraft spans thousands of years and multiple continents, revealing a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that has captivated human imagination. From ancient pagan traditions to the notorious European witch trials, Ronald Hutton explores the cultural, social, and historical contexts that have shaped our understanding of witchcraft. Hutton's expert analysis draws on a wide range of sources, including anthropology, ethnography, and historical scholarship, to examine the evolution of witchcraft beliefs and practices across the world. He considers the role of shamanism, folk religion, and the treatment of suspected witches, shedding new light on the ways in which fear and persecution have been used to control and marginalize certain groups.
