People at this time really believed
in witchcraft, and saw the witch
as a source of evil.

Read some of these primary sources
to discover why belief in the witch as
Satan's helper was prevalent at this time.

Of special interest are the articles
written by Churchmen
on the subject of witches
and the extract
from The Hammer of Witches,
the medieval "bible"
on the detection
and punishment of witches.

Take notes in your notebook.
Be prepared to comment
on these in class.
