Episode 57: Daemonologie

from A Cast of Pods · host Jose Acierto

King James VI of Scotland and I of England wrote Daemonologie in 1597, arguing against those who denied the existence of witchcraft. This book, written in the form of a dialogue, aims to convince its readers that witchcraft is real and deserves severe punishment. He also recounts a real witch trial in Newes From Scotland (1591), a notable trial wherein he took a prominent part, where Doctor Fian was found guilty of witchcraft, and was ultimately burned at the stake.
