About “The Witch-Cult in Western Europe”

The Witch-Cult in Western Europe is a 1921 anthropological book by Margaret Murray. In it, she presents the witch-cult hypothesis, which claims that the accusations of witchcraft in Europe were based on a real, secret pagan religion. This religion, according to Murray, worshipped a horned god. Her theory suggests that the so-called witches were practitioners of this ancient, hidden faith. The book is a key work in the study of European witchcraft and has influenced later discussions on the subject. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
