witchcraft词源中文解释

古英语 wiccecræft “巫术,魔法”,来自 wicce(见 witch)+ cræft “力量,技能”(见 craft)。

在英国法律中,巫术在新教时代的1542年被宣布为犯罪; 审判在1580年代和1640年代达到高峰,但在1660年后急剧下降。最后一次审判于1717年结束,被判无罪。巫术法于1736年被废除。莱基(“欧洲的理性主义”,1866)研究了哈钦森和巴克尔,得出结论:即使在1660年复辟时期,相信巫术和魔法在英国甚至在最受教育的人中也很普遍。到1688年,大多数人不再相信它; 到1718年,少数派被减少到无知和一个微不足道的牧师部分。
