Pact with the devil. Francesco Maria Guazzo, Compendium maleficarum (Milan, 1608)

Witchcraft in the late medieval and early modern European world was a highly gendered crime. The majority of victims were women but a significant percentage were men – and in some regions, men made up the majority of the accused. The male witch appeared wherever there were witchcraft accusations – he was known as a maleficius, a wicca, a sorcier, or hexenmeister … just don’t call him a warlock. Podcaster: Kristin

It's interesting to know that there are male witches appearing before whenever someone is accused of practicing witchcraft before. I wonder if witchcraft classes would be helpful these days and how people would feel about them as well. It is a fascinating topic that I want to read more about if given a chance.

Interesting follow up to a previous talk on male witches.
