Abstract The emphasis of published works on the rise and decline of witchcraft in 16th and 17th century in Britain has been focused on the religious, social, judicial, medical and economic aspects of the problem. The reason underlying accusations of witchcraft is a misunderstanding of the effects of harmful plants upon animals.
AbstractList The emphasis of published works on the rise and decline of witchcraft in 16th and 17th century in Britain has been focused on the religious, social, judicial, medical and economic aspects of the problem. The reason underlying accusations of witchcraft is a misunderstanding of the effects of harmful plants upon animals.
Animal deaths and illnesses, which were used in Tudor and Stuart Britain to convict people of witchcraft, can be accounted for by the effects of harmful plants on animals
