The Oxford Handbook of Witchcraft in Early Modern Europe and Colonial America
The essays in this Handbook, written by leading scholars working in the rapidly developing field of witchcraft studies, explore the historical literature regarding witch beliefs and witch trials in Europe and colonial America between the early fifteenth and early eighteenth centuries. During these years witches were thought to be evil people who used magical power to inflict physical harm or misfortune on their neighbours. Witches were also believed to have made pacts with the devil and sometimes to have worshipped him at nocturnal assemblies known as sabbaths. These beliefs provided the basis for defining witchcraft as a secular and ecclesiastical crime and prosecuting tens of thousands of women and men for this offence. The trials resulted in as many as fifty thousand executions. These essays study the rise and fall of witchcraft prosecutions in the various kingdoms and territories of Europe and in English, Spanish, and Portuguese colonies in the Americas. They also relate these prosecutions to the Catholic and Protestant reformations, the introduction of new forms of criminal procedure, medical and scientific thought, the process of state-building, profound social and economic change, early modern patterns of gender relations, and the wave of demonic possessions that occurred in Europe at the same time. The essays survey the current state of knowledge in the field, explore the academic controversies that have arisen regarding witch beliefs and witch trials, propose new ways of studying the subject, and identify areas for future research.
Kill Oz and Glinda with the help of her sister Theodora (both failed).
The two witches exchanged harsh words and curses, each trying to outdo the other in their malevolence. As the quarrel continued, the villagers found themselves caught in the middle. They were torn between their loyalty to Eliza, who had always been kind to them, and their fear of Agatha's dark powers. The tension in the village grew, and the air became heavy with a sense of impending doom. As the days turned into weeks, the feud between Agatha and Eliza seemed to consume the village. Both witches were determined to prove they were the most powerful and could vanquish the other. Their spells grew more potent, and the consequences more devastating. Fields withered, animals fell ill, and the once thriving village became a desolate shadow of its former self. The villagers pleaded with Agatha and Eliza to put an end to their quarrel. They begged them to remember the innocent lives they were destroying and the suffering they were causing. But their pleas fell on deaf ears, as the witches were blinded by their own hatred and desire for revenge. Finally, on a stormy night, the quarrel reached its climax. Agatha and Eliza faced each other in a fierce battle, unleashing their most powerful spells. Thunder shook the ground, and lightning lit up the sky as the two witches fought for dominance. In the end, their powers proved equal, and they were left weakened and exhausted. Realizing the devastation they had caused, Agatha and Eliza made a truce. They recognized the futility and senselessness of their quarrel. They vowed to put an end to their rivalry and use their powers for good instead of evil. The village slowly began to recover, and the villagers forgave the witches for the destruction they had wrought. The malevolent witch of the east quarrel taught the importance of forgiveness and the destructive power of hatred. Through their dispute, Agatha and Eliza learned the value of compassion and the need to live in harmony with others. Their tale serves as a reminder that even the most wicked of souls can find redemption if they are willing to change..

Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to others who are looking for a well-developed and engaging witchy read.
- Mark - 1/5 - I couldn't even finish "Malevolent Witch of the East Quarrel". The writing was very amateurish and full of grammatical errors which made it difficult to follow the story. The plot was weak and predictable, and the characters felt like stereotypes without any real depth. I had high hopes for this book but it fell far short of my expectations. Save your time and money and choose another witch-themed book.
