This rare 1865 volume by Howard Williams, an English humanitarian and vegetarian and author of the book The Ethics of Diet, offers a surprisingly sympathetic view of witchcraft, tracing its roots through several thousand years and pointing out similarities and parallels with the major world religions. Though dense and scholarly at times, The Superstitions of Witchcraft is a rewarding read for those with an interest in Wicca and in the history of the practice. “The belief in the infernal art of witchcraft is perhaps the most horrid, as it certainly is the most absurd, phenomenon in the religious history of the world. Of the millions of victims sacrificed on the altars of religion this particular delusion can claim a considerable proportion. By a moderate computation, nine millions have been burned or hanged since the establishment of Christianity. Pre-Christian antiquity experienced its tremendous power, and the primitive faith of Christianity easily accepted and soon developed it. It was reserved, however, for the triumphant Church to display it in its greatest horrors: and if we deplore the too credulous or accommodative faith of the early militant Church or the unilluminated ignorance of paganism, we may still more indignantly denounce the cruel policy of Catholicism and the barbarous folly of Protestant theology which could deliberately punish an impossible crime. It is the reproach of Protestantism that this persecution was most furiously raging in the age that produced Newton and Locke. Compared with its atrocities even the Marian burnings appear as nothing: and it may well be doubted whether the fanatic zeal of the 'bloody Queen,' is no less contemptible than the credulous barbarity of the judges of the seventeenth century.” -Howard Williams “Mr. Howard Williams has collected a considerable number of the facts in the work before us into a short compass and discussed them in a clear and entertaining style.” -The New York Times Superstitions from Europe - University of Pittsburgh Witchcraft Germany Do not answer a witch's question or else she can take something from you (59) Old women often cut out a foot-long piece of sod that their Superstitions Old Wives Tales Beliefs & Misconceptions A-L A collection of superstitions beliefs and old wives tales from various cultures and eras Includes wedding customs and superstitions and fears about death Superstitions About Rabbits The Psychic Well Superstitions About Rabbits What does a rabbit mean as a sign or omen?
