Summary

Unveiling the 15 Myths of Medieval and Renaissance Witches tears apart the familiar images of cackling hags, sexy redheads and endless bonfires that Hollywood and pop history sold you. In fifteen sharp, fast moving chapters, Miguel Thornton tests each myth against trial records, court ledgers, sermons and modern scholarship, showing how educated elites, printing presses and church politics turned local quarrels into mass hunts. This book replaces comforting clichés with uncomfortable facts, exposes the role of educated power in shaping witch stereotypes, and offers a clear history based lens for recognizing new waves of hysteria when they rise.
