"This book fills an important gap by exploring the often-tangled thought processes of the first generation of 'witchcraft theorists' . . .

The book is essential reading for all serious students of the subject. It is a major contribution to the rehabilitation of the literature of witchcraft theory.

Synopsis
On September 20, 1587, Walpurga Hausmannin of Dillingen in southern Germany was burned at the stake as a witch. Although she had confessed to committing a long list of "maleficia" (deeds of harmful magic), including killing forty one infants and two mothers in labor, her evil career allegedly began with just one heinous act sex with a demon. Fornication with demons was a major theme of her trial record, which detailed an almost continuous orgy of sexual excess with her diabolical paramour Federlin "in many divers places, . . . even in the street by night." As Walter Stephens demonstrates in "Demon Lovers, " it was not Hausmannin or other so-called witches who were obsessive about sex with demons instead, a number of devout Christians, including trained theologians, displayed an uncanny preoccupation with the topic during the centuries of the "witch craze." Why? To find out, Stephens conducts a detailed investigation of the first and most influential treatises on witchcraft (written between 1430 and 1530), including the infamous "Malleus Maleficarum" ("Hammer of Witches"). Far from being credulous fools or mindless misogynists, early writers on witchcraft emerge in Stephens's account as rational but reluctant skeptics, trying desperately to resolve contradictions in Christian thought on God, spirits, and sacraments that had bedeviled theologians for centuries. Proof of the physical existence of demons for instance, through evidence of their intercourse with mortal witches would provide strong evidence for the reality of the supernatural, the truth of the Bible, and the existence of God. Early modern witchcraft theory reflected a crisis of belief a crisis that continues to be expressed today in popular debates over angels, Satanic ritual child abuse, and alien abduction.", On September 20, 1587, Walpurga Hausmännin of Dillingen in southern Germany was burned at the stake as a witch.
