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.
Giacomo Casanova
"Italian adventurer. Noted especially for his amorous encounters. Also practiced witchcraft, and divination, for which he used a cryptogram called a Kabbala. Possessed the grimoire The Key of Solomon, which involved him with occult treasure hunts and conjurations of spirits" (Wedeck 199).
He was once asked, "If witches and magicians had devils and demons at their command, how it what they could not defeat the prying church authorities?" He answered, "Because the church officials commanded more devils and demons than anyone else" (Ashley 153).
