Abstract:

Abstract This article enhances our understanding of the development and dynamism of early modern witch stereotypes by focusing on the stereotype of the witch-cleric, the Christian minister imagined by early modern people as working for the devil instead of God, baptizing people into witchcraft, working harmful magic and even officiating at witches’ gatherings. I show how this stereotype first developed in relation to Catholic clerics in demonology, print culture and witch-trials, then examine its emergence in relation to Protestant clerics in Germany and beyond, using case studies of pastors f

Abstract:

This essay examines from a historical perspective the long-standing reputation of Forres, Moray, for being a place of note for witches. Famous for being mentioned in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the site of his meeting with three witches is commemorated in a local landmark called Macbeth’s Hillock. A study of Shakespeare’s’ sources from ancient chronicles and an examination of early performances of the play suggest this meeting was not a historical event but the fruits of the Imagination of more than one playwright. Another local landmark called the Witches’ Stone is remembered as the final resting

Abstract:

In 1563, witchcraft was established as a secular crime in Scotland and it remained so until 1736. There were peaks and valleys in the cases that emerged, were prosecuted, were convicted, and where people were executed for the crime of witchcraft, although there was a decline in cases after 1662. The Scottish Enlightenment is characterized as a period of transition and epistemological challenge and it roughly coincides with this decline in Scottish witchcraft cases. This article looks at pamphlets published in the vernacular between 1697 and 1705, either within Scotland or elsewhere, that focus

Xiangxi Miao embroidery carries the Miao people's past memory and future vision and is also linked to the mysterious Xiangxi Miao witch culture inextricably. This paper analyses the relationship between the culture of myths and legends and the culture of gods and witches and their impacts on Miao embroidery. The culture of myths and legends is mainly reflected in the living of totem worship, the culture of gods and witches includes the worship of multiple gods and the flourishing of the Nuo ritual, which have engraved a special national mark on Xiangxi Miao embroidery.

Abstract:

This essay examines the defence strategies of women accused of witchcraft in early modern Ghent, focusing on their agency within restrictive societal frameworks. Cases like that of Adriaene Schepens illustrate how accused women refuted supernatural accusations through rational explanations that exploited societal and gendered expectations. Rather than relying solely on emotional pleas, these women employed logical arguments and constructed personas that undermined the charges against them. Analysing trial records reveals how gender stereotypes were strategically used to appear non-threatening,

Abstract:

This study seeks to demonstrate that the timing, subject, and audience for the art of Dürer and Hans Baldung Grien all argue against the view that the witches in their prints and drawings were a reaction to actual witch-hunts, trials, or malevolent treatises such as theMalleus maleficiarum. The witch craze did not gain momentum until late in the sixteenth century while the witches of Dürer and Hans Baldung Grien belong to an earlier era. They are more plausible as a response to humanist interest in the poetry and satire of the classical world, and are better understood as poetic constructions

During the era of the Scottish witch-hunts, Dumfries and Galloway was one of the last regions to initiate witch prosecutions, but it was also one of the most reluctant to completely surrender all belief in witches until a comparatively late date. In the late seventeeth and early eighteenth centuries south-west Scotland, better known for the persecution of covenanters, took the practice of witchcraft and charming very seriously indeed, and for perhaps longer than other parts of Scotland, though the area has received surprisingly little scholarly investigation.

Abstract:

The female literary character of “the witch” appears frequently in various genres – myths, fairy tales and also modern stories. When conceptualizing this character type from the perspective of a gender/feminist analysis, we have to include methodological approaches of feminist spirituality (theology) as well as a secular gender analysis of religion and literature. There is no general homogeneous opinion on the issue as to whether gender and feminist studies are one discipline or two different ones. I am not denying that the notion of ‘feminist’ usually evokes a closer connection to the politic

Abstract: New and exciting scholarship continues to enrich our understanding of gender and identity politics imbricated in the history of witchcraft in France. Demonologies have provided ample evidence for scholars to develop sound arguments about the relationship between witch-hunts and deep-rooted misogyny. In addition to demonologies as frequently cited sources of anti-woman sentiment, poetry penned by intellectuals offer fertile ground for a reconsideration of the (female) witch as a multivalent figure constantly confined by the male gaze whose passivity runs contrary to the aggression she

This positionality is then further strengthened and nuanced by contextualizing demonic possession within the broader netwo

Eighteen-year-old educated gentlewoman Mary Dunbar accused eight Presbyterian women and one man from Islandmagee and the surrounding areas of using witchcraft to attack her in spectral or spirit form and to summon demons to possess her body. The women were tried on 31 March 1711 at the Spring Session of Carrickfergus County Assize Court. Despite pleading not guilty, they were convicted under the 1586 Irish Witchcraft Act and sentenced to one year’s imprisonment and four stints in the pillor

The power of transformation ascribed to witches was mirrored in the power of film itself, as demonstrated by cinema's origin story, the ‘lucky’ accident that took place as Méliès filmed on the Place de l’Opéra, in which men appeared to become women
