Project Gutenberg 2008-06-29 Public domain in the USA. 1802 James I, King of England 1566 1625 James VI, King of Scotland Daemonologie. "Daemonologie" by King of England James I is a treatise on witchcraft and the supernatural, composed in the late 16th century. This work, presented in the form of a dialogue, explores the reality of witchcraft, the activities of witches, and the punitive measures that should be taken against those who practice such black arts. The book serves as a defense of witch-hunts and provides insights into contemporary beliefs about magic, sorcery, and the malevolent forces that are thought to influence human affairs. The beginning of "Daemonologie" sets the stage by addressing the widespread fear of witches during James I's reign, as the author outlines his intent to debunk opposing views that deny the existence of witchcraft and the power of the devil. The dialogue features two characters, Philomathes and Epistemon, who discuss various aspects of witchcraft, starting with its undeniable presence as documented in the Scriptures and real-life confessions. As they debate the nature and effects of magic and witchcraft, they affirm that these practices are dangerous and merit severe consequences, thus establishing a framework for understanding the author's perspective on the supernatural.
