Witch, Warlock, and Magician: An In-Depth History of European Occultism Author: Montague Summers

Witch, Warlock, and Magician is a definitive historical account of European witchcraft, demonology, and magical traditions, written by the renowned occult scholar Montague Summers. Summers draws from trial records, grimoires, and theological treatises to explore the social, legal, and spiritual dimensions of witchcraft during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. While controversial due to its sensationalist tone, the book remains a key source for researchers of early modern Europe, inquisitorial practices, and the cultural construction of the devil.
