Description: This book is a fascinating and unique account of a 17th-century witch trial, providing an intimate glimpse into the beliefs and fears of a turbulent and superstitious age. Through the eyes of Pastor Schweidler, the reader is transported back to a time when accusations of witchcraft could lead to horrific consequences. The author skillfully weaves together historical context with the pastor's personal experience, offering a rich tapestry of religious fervor, societal tensions, and human suffering.
