Witchcraft - Malleus Maleficarum - The Hammer of Witches - History and Analysis of the Inquisition

The Malleus Maleficarum or "Hammer of Witches" is the most important and infamous of all demonological and witch-hunting manuals in European history.

In this episode I deep dive into the terrifying world of the Inquisition to better understand this most infamous work and the minds that produced it. #witches #witchtrials #wicca Recommended Readings: Mackay - The Hammer of Witches - 978-0521747875 Malleus Maleficarum 2 Volume Set - 978-1107642393 Levak - Witchcraft Sourcebook - 978-1138774971 Kors & Peters - Witchcraft in Europe, 400-1700: A Documentary History - 978-0812217513 Nider - Formicarius - https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_Wc...
