Arnold of VillanovaDisclaimerThis 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. Arnold of Villanova"Thirteenth century physician, occultist, and alchemist. Traveled in Europe and Africa. Credited with transmutation of metals and converse with Satanic powers. In his medical practice he employed occult conjurations, mystic symbolism, and magic potions" (Wedeck 196). Lost?Arnold of Villanova is copyrighted 1996-1998 to Shantell Powell. |
