The Salem Witch Trials are the blockbuster event in colonial American demonology. In fact, they are so well covered that I’m not even sure they’re esoterica at this point. However, a recent trip to Salem inspired me with two questions – (1). How did those at the ground zero of the diabolism outbreak – Abigail Williams, Betty Parris & Tituba – survive the panic and prosecutions? (2). What was the judicial theory and demonology behind the panic. Join me as I explore the fates of the first ‘witches’ of Salem and the Puritan demonological manual that doomed so many in 1692/3.
