Title: Full of Half-Truths
Review: I had the opportunity to view this video in a university class on witchcraft. It is full of half truths and in some cases false info. It is a very good video styalistically, but is unfortunately inaccurate with its content. The study of witchcraft persecutions has very little to do with black magic or demoic arts as this video does point out. On the whole the video is a lesson in unintentional or intentional propaganda. It is hard to tell how the authors of this tape were able to gain the evidence to back up their claims. The number of people they cite as being executed seems inflated and inaccurate. Buy the book "Witches and Neighbors". This is a scholarly account of the hunts and puts them into perspective. The connections that this video makes between Christianity, Paganism, and modern Wicca are very loosley developed and unreliable. I encourage you to view this video with a skeptical and questioning mind. Witchcraft trials are exciting and contriversial. This video is both.
