Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the witch-cult hypothesis, this anthropological work posits that accusations of witchcraft in Europe stemmed from a genuine, secret pagan religion devoted to a horned deity. Published in 1921, it garnered interest following the popularity of Frazer's "Golden Bough," yet Murray's theories faced significant skepticism and were later discredited. The book explores the intersection of folklore, religion, and societal fears surrounding witchcraft during that era.
