Books in the Athlone history of witchcraft & magic in Europe series

Witchcraft continues to play a role in the modern European imagination and in its cultures. This book brings together studies of its most important modern manifestations, including a new history of English Wicca, and satanic abuse mythology.

The 15th to the 18th centuries was a period of witchcraft prosecutions throughout Europe. This volume brings this work together by summarising the history of the period in a new way - according to the types of legal systems involved.
