[Stritheil]

In this part of the Sacred Text site, which an excerpt from a book written by an Englishman in 1910 that provides some information about traditional views on witchcraft, including a 19th century account of an attempt by a witch to cure someone with magic (which didn't work) and a very scary 18th century account of the murder of an old couple who were accused of practicing harmful witchcraft.
