About This Book

This book surveys historical beliefs and practices labeled witchcraft and demonology, defining terms and concentrating on documented aspects. It traces cultic rites and alleged Satanic worship, explores demons, familiars, and the ritual of the Sabbat, and examines scriptural and theological treatments of witches. Chapters address alleged diabolic possession and contemporary spiritist phenomena, and conclude with the portrayal of witches in dramatic literature. The work combines case studies, illustrations, and bibliographic notes while acknowledging geographical limits and deliberate selection of topics rather than a comprehensive worldwide catalogue.
