I have always heard of this book in all my research on Witchcraft and in other books on the Paranormal and didn't even know it existed in a reprint form until I was on Amazon looking at other books and it popped up as a recomendation!

It is fascinating to read, and to realize it is the Bible for all witch hunters during the Salem Witch Trials and the Inquisition.

A good read! If you read it and stop to realize that this was a how to book, I got angry when I read how the author would leave " no way out" for basically anyone he felt like accusing of being a witch. For instnc e if you were enlightened enough not to believe in witch'sthen the author would label you a heretic because the scriptures said there were indeed witch's, you could not win.

I found this book to be exceedingly helpful in both finding and prosecuting witches in my local community. Heinrich's points are both easily understood and followed... he has struck a mighty blow against heretics the world over. I eagerly await his next release!

If You Have A Interest In Demonology,Witchcraft,History. This Book Should Be In Your Collection Gives Examples On What Instruments And Tackticts + Torture + Questions Where Used In Courts To See If You Were A Witch.

This book have been tantalizing me via quotes I picked up

from various web sites , and now it is mine. Inside, a clearer picture of the world not readily visible to the uninitiated has been my pleasure to

read at my leisure. I heartily encourage all but the slightly curious to take advantage of this tome as the weight of import lent to my knowledge of all things colonial by this book is already boosting my interest in things not judged by the merit of their value to the mundane world but by the wisdom they bring from the past. Many misapprehensions have been assuaged that caused me to draw false conclusions about these times due to the

translations found herein , and it will intrigue the pessimist as well as all who are open to an ernest explaination of the decisions used in the

cases laid out inside.
