The History of Witchcraft and Demonology: A Definitive Account of the Black Arts Uncover the darkest secrets of history. This is not folklore. This is a chilling, meticulous investigation into the reality of witchcraft. Journey back to a time when the Devil was not a metaphor, but a terrifying reality for millions. Originally published in 1926, Montague Summers' The History of Witchcraft and Demonology stands as one of the most infamous and comprehensive works ever written on the subject. This is not a book for the faint of heart. Summers, a controversial and deeply serious occult scholar, writes with the unwavering conviction that witchcraft was a real, powerful, and organized threat—a heretical and anarchic force bent on the destruction of society. From the shadowy rituals of the Sabbat and the summoning of demons to diabolic possession and the inner workings of the coven, Summers leaves no stone unturned. He draws upon a vast archive of trial records, theological texts, and historical documents to build an argument that is as scholarly as it is unsettling.
