NE of the most evil and controversial books ever written, by Heinrich Kramer ¹⁾ (or: Henricus Institoris) was a book that set off the official persecution of so-called “witches”. There were approximately 110,000 witch trials and about 60,000 “witches” killed ²). Heinrich Kramer was surely women hater pur sang and he presumed that every women, who wasn’t submitted to men, didn’t conform to church doctrine, had knowledge and some sort power beyond what was permitted (that is doing chores, cooking and caring for children), was a witch. What we know is that the majority of women, that were persecuted, were just christian women, seldom were they witches, because, surely after christianity took full control over every aspect of the lives and thoughts of individuals, we kept in the shadows, with the secrecy that was, and still is, an essential part of Traditional Witchcraft.

SUGGEST that every witch, feminist and those who are interested in researching (traditional) witchcraft, should read the Maleus Malificarum, just for the sake of knowing why, almost every book and movie, is still influenced by this evil book. Movies like ‘the last witch-hunter’ ³⁾ Hans und Gretl ⁴⁾ still represent the witch-image that the Maleus Malificarum portrayed of witches and women in general. Also Sabrina the Teenage Witch ⁵) had elements of the caricature of the witch that was portrayed in the Maleus Malificarum.

Study is one of the main and important powers of witchcraft, ignorance is a no-go, also just repeating what others have said, without forming your own opinions the witch stays vulnerable and misunderstood. That’s why a witch needs have wisdom, bur wisdom needs knowledge and knowledge requires study.
