hildy: The Teaching Company has a free downloadable MP3 lecture on witchcraft in history
This lecture is from [Professor Ruiz's] course The Terror of History: Mystics, Heretics, and Witches in the Western Tradition.
In this lecture, you will learn what Europeans believed witches did and how it was thought that people joined covenants of witches. You will explore the nocturnal gatherings of witches and wild accusations of child sacrifices, cannibalism, and sexual excesses characteristic of the "witch craze." Why did Europeans in the late medieval period seize on a widespread belief in witchcraft and Satanism?
You may download this lecture and listen to it at your computer, transfer it to your iPod or MP3 player, or burn it to a CD.
Access your free lecture online between now and December 31, 2007.
I haven't listened to it yet, but I love The Teaching Company like cookies; with very few exceptions I've always found their lectures informative and fascinating. (Check my academia link)
