Abstract

In this study, we aim to present some cases of witchcraft on the European continent. Based on unpublished archival information, the study shows how the state, the Church and the society reacted to magic, witchcraft, and alchemy. The life stories of the magical agents presented in these pages also provide an opportunity to revisit the political and social context from France to Transylvania throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. Beyond the beauty of the magical symbolism lies the dramatic fate of those involved, who ended their lives tragically. Their testimonies, however, are important for the researcher who wishes to investigate the magical phenomenon.
