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.
Bogglebo
In the north country of Britain, witches were sometimes referred to as boggleboes (Radford 67). The root word, boggle, seems to come from the words bogle, bogill, or bobogle meaning terrifying apparition, or goblin. It may also be related to the Middle English bugge meaning scarecrow.
