Wolves and Witchcraft


Disclaimer

This is NOT a page about Wiccans or neo-pagans, and I do not advocate the belief that Wiccans are Satan-worshippers and/or baby-killers. I am well aware that they are not. This is a starting point for historical research into the great witch craze of 1100-1700 AD. And please, don't ask me for spells.


Wolves as Familiars

[Witch travelling to the Sabbat on a wolf, from Ulrich Molitor's De Lamiis et Phitoinicis Mulierbus (1489)]

Wolves were sometimes thought to have been used as mounts by witches on their way to the Sabbat.

Witches were sometimes believed to be werewolves, as well.
