“Book Descriptions: From the 15 century until around 1700, 100,000 men and women were accused of witchcraft and wizardry in Europe. Around 50,000 of these were executed. In Norway over 300 so-called witches was killed. They were ordinary women, married and unmarried, rich and poor, young and old. Witches were hanged or beheaded, but most often burned as the fire should have a purifying force.
Historian Aina Basso tells about witch processes in Europe and in Norway. Here we get to know witches as the French Jeanne d'Arc and the German Merge Bien, but also Norwegian witches such as Anna Pedersdotter Absalon and Sva-mask from Sunnmøre. Furthermore, we get the story of the last and worst of witch processes in Finnmark. In 1662, 31 women were accused of being witches. Of these there were six little girls. Who were the witches? And how could something like that happen? Witch hunt is not over. Both in Asia, South America and Africa are the places where they still are burning witches.” DRIVE
