Episode description
The Malleus Maleficarum, or the 'Hammer of Witches', was a book from which much of the chaos and hysteria during the witch trials stemmed. To understand what lead up to its publication, this episode looks into attitudes towards witches and magic through history. We then get into this nasty piece of work and the witch-killing craze it helped spur on.
