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.
Albertus Magnus
Bishop of Ratisbon, he became interested in the occult arts; experimented with alchemy and magic, and produced amazing phenomena. A prolific writer, he was the author of a study of alchemy, containing directions for the practicing alchemist. Reputedly, he achieved the transmutation of metals by means of the philosopher's stone. He was also credited with power over atmospheric conditions and with the fashioning of an android, an automaton capable of speech (Wedeck 195).
