A History in 13 Trials
Book •
Witchcraft: A History in 13 Trials, by Marion Gibson, explores the global history of witch trials across Europe, Africa, and the Americas.

The book uses thirteen distinct trials to illuminate a pattern of demonization and conspiratorial thinking that has profoundly shaped human history.

It examines famous trials like Salem and lesser-known cases, revealing how witchcraft accusations intersected with gender, power, indigenous spirituality, and colonial rule.
