Descripción

In central Europe, the phenomenon of male witches has often been overshadowed by the narratives surrounding female witchcraft. This in-depth study delves into the historical context and societal implications of male witches during the witch trials, uncovering a startling statistic: one in four alleged witches was male. Through meticulous research, R. Schulte examines how these men navigated a world filled with suspicion, fear, and gendered assumptions about power and magic.

The exploration highlights the trials, accusations, and the often tragic consequences men faced during times of hysteria. Schulte draws on a rich tapestry of historical documents, testimonies, and cultural analyses to shed light on the intricate dynamics at play. By focusing on these overlooked figures in witchcraft history, the work challenges prevailing perceptions, inviting readers to reconsider the complexities of witch trials and the often-unacknowledged male experience within them.
