Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Witchcraft often refers to the alleged use of supernatural or magical powers in order to inflict harm or damage upon members of a community or their property. Other uses of the term distinguish between bad witchcraft and good witchcraft, with the latter often involving healing, perhaps remedying bad witchcraft. The concept of witchcraft is normally treated as a cultural ideology, a means of explaining human misfortune by blaming it either on a supernatural entity or a known person in the community. The book takes a look at witchcraft practices in Europe and the trials and prosecutions suffered by witches.
