This review is from: Witchcraft in England (Paperback)

This book made me feel so bad for people who lived in Europe during the witch craze. I now understand why this period and before it were coined "The Dark Ages." This is an example of what happens when people ignore objective reason, and are ruled by superstition. This is a must read for anyone interested in Medieval history, Christianity, and of course Witchcraft. If you are looking for some kind of spell book or anything else dealing with modern occultism, this is not the book for you. But if you want to see about how insane people and whole societies can become when superstition rules supreme, then this book hit's the nail right on the head. This is not so much a book wrote by an author's opinion, but instead a collection of lots of documents of witchcraft and it's punishments during this period.
