Summary

The witch came to prominence -- and often a painful death -- in early modern Europe, yet her origins are much more geographically diverse and historically deep. Hutton, a renowned expert on ancient, medieval, and modern paganism and witchcraft beliefs, combines scholarly approaches to examine attitudes on witchcraft and the treatment of suspected witches across the world, including in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, and from ancient times to today
