How the persecution of witches reflected the darker side of the central social, political, and cultural developments of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This is the first book to consider the general course and significance of the European witch craze of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries since H.R. Trevor-Roper’s classic and pioneering study appeared some fifteen years ago. Drawing upon the advances in historical and social-science scholarship of the past decade and a half, Joseph Klaits integrates the recent appreciations of witchcraft in regional studies, the history of popular culture, anthropology, sociology, and psychology to better illuminate the place of witch hunting in the context of social, political, economic and religious change. “In all, Klaits has done a good job. Avoiding the scandalous and sensational, he has maintained throughout, with sensitivity and economy, an awareness of the uniqueness of the theories and persecutions that have fascinated scholars now for two decades and are unlikely to lose their appeal in the foreseeable future.” —American Historical Review “This is a commendable synthesis whose time has come . . . fascinating.” —The Sixteenth Century Journal “Comprehensive and clearly written . . . An excellent book.” —Choice “Impeccable research and interpretation stand behind this scholarly but not stultifying account.” —Booklist “A good, solid, general treatment.” —Erik Midelfort, C. Julian Bishko Professor Emeritus of History and Religious Studies, University of Virginia “A well written, easy to read book, and the bibliography is a good source of secondary materials for further reading.” —Journal of American Folklore

The last book of essays by Church of Satan founder LaVey.

Devil worship, black magic, and witchcraft have long captivated anthropologists as well as the general public. In this volume, Jean La Fontaine explores the intersection of expert and lay understandings of evil and the cultural forms that evil assumes. The chapters touch on public scares about devil-worship, misconceptions about human sacrifice and the use of body parts in healing practices, and mistaken accusations of children practicing witchcraft. Together, these cases demonstrate that comparison is a powerful method of cultural understanding, but warns of the dangers and mistaken conclusions that untrained ideas about other ways of life can lead to.

Witches are generally feared, sometimes respected and usually hated outsiders moving in the shadows of the world and inconspicuously influencing people and events in accordance with their own ends or the objectives of the Coven to which they may belong. Witches are the incarnated individual and collective expression of humanity's shadow self and as such we are the natural enemy of mankind. The Satanic Witch and Warlock are anonymous wielders of power who delight in all things carnal and of the earth and who are directly connected to the elemental sources of power; power used to bring ruin to those who oppose them and to hasten the decline of ordinary humanity's ignorant and misguided ambitions in the beautiful world they systematically destroy. There have always been certain individuals born and walking among the ordinary herd of humanity; creatures that are born with and contain within themselves an unusual predisposition to attract an extraordinary, indefinable force. They have the mysterious ability to influence events and ordinary people in a peculiar and sometimes intangible way through the direct application of this unknown power.
