Exploring the intersection of folk belief and Enlightenment philosophy, this study delves into Scottish witchcraft and beliefs from 1662 onwards, during a time often seen as the decline of such practices. It highlights the tension between the rationalist views of the Enlightenment, which sought to eliminate superstition, and the enduring faith of the devout, illustrating how fear of witches persisted despite societal changes. By examining the unique Scottish context, the book assesses the lasting impact of Enlightenment thought on witch beliefs across various societal levels.
