"Witch" Trials: Conflict of Interpretations in History and Religion

Links
(a brief list of interesting links for information about early modern witch trials in Europe and Colonial New England)

The following URLs direct you to sites with decent information about witch hunting.  Perhaps they will be valuable to you as you develop materials throughout the semester.  As always, use with caution.  Exercise good judgment about what is a reliable source and what is not.  Consider the positions of the authors of these sites.  Consider how their interpretations fit in with other things you have been learning.
