I N 1' R 0 D U C T I 0 NTHE subject of \Yitches and \Yitchcraft has always sufferedfrom the biassed opinions of the comtnentators, both contemporaryand of later date. On the one hand are the writerswho, haying heard the evidence at first hand, believe implicitlyin the facts and place upon them the unwarranted constructionthat those facts were due to supernatural power ; on the otherhand are the \\'riters who, taking the evidence on hearsay anddisbelieving the conclusions drawn by their opponents, denythe facts /u toto. Both parties believed with equal firmnessin a personal Devil, and both supported their arguments withquotations fron1 the Bible. But as the believers \\'Cre able tobring forward Jnore texts than the unbelie\·ers and had intheir hands an unanswerable argument in the \Vitch of Endor,the unbelie\·ers, who dared not contradict the vVord of God,were forced to fall back on the theory that the witches sufferedfrom hallucination, hysteria, and, to use the modern word,' auto-suggestion '. These two classes still persist, the scepticpredominating. Between the believer who believed everythingand the unbeliever who disbelieved e\'erything there has beenno critical examination of the evidence, which presents a newand untouched field of research to the student of comparativereligion.Among the believers in witchcraft everything which could J.not be explained hy the knowledge at their disposal was laid ''to the credit of supernatural powers; and as eyerythi ngincomprehensible is usually supposed to emanate from e\·iL /the witches were believed to be possessed of deYilish arts. Asalso every non-Christjan God was, in the eyes of the Christian,the opponent of the Christian God, the witches were consideredto worship the E nemy of Salvation, in other \\'Ords, the Devil.The greater number of these writers, however, obtained theevidence at first hand, and it must therefore be acceptedalthough the statements do not bear the construction putupon them. It is only by a careful con1parison \\'ith the
