Thirteen Witch Trials

Rowan has been doing some research for next spring’s class, The History of Witchcraft and has come across a very interesting book, Witchcraft: A History in Thirteen Trials, by Marion Gibson, Rose Akroyd et al.
From the Amazon review:
“Exploring how witchcraft was feared, then decriminalized, and then reimagined as gendered persecution, Witchcraft takes on the intersections between gender and power, indigenous spirituality and colonial rule, political conspiracy and individual resistance.
Offering a striking, dramatic journey unspooling over centuries and across continents, Witchcraft is a “well-rounded insight into some of the strangest and cruelest moments in history” (Buzz Magazine), giving voice to those who have been silenced by history.”
Come join Rowan for an interesting discussion of several of the lesser known witch trials in Europe and the Americas, and new insights into some of the famous ones.
