The Kinds Of Witches From William West, Simboleography (London, 1594)
MAGICIANS: Magicians be those which by uttering of certain superstitious words concieved, adventure to attempt things above the course of nature, by bringing forth dead men's ghosts, as they falsely pretend, in showing things either secret or in places far off, and in showing them in any shape or likeness. SOOTHSAYING WIZARDS: Soothsayers or wizards....divine and foretell things to come, and raise up evil spirits by certain superstitious and conceived forms of words. And unto such words as be demanded of them, do answer by voice, or else set before their eyes in glasses, crystal stones or rings, the pictures or images of things sought for. DIVINATORS: The professors of the art of divination which be puffed up with prophesying spirits. And can manifest who hath stolen things and tell where things lost or stolen be. JUGGLERS: Jugglers and flighty curers of diseases, which for the curing of all sicknesses and sores of man and beast, use either certain superstitious words or writings called charms or spells hanged about the neck or some other part of the body. ENCHANTERS and CHARMERS: Enchanters or charmers, through certain words pronounced and characters or images, herbs or other things applied, think they can do what they list, the devil so deceiveth them, or in very deed dispatcheth those things which the enchanters would have done. From these somewhat differ witches or hags, and augerers or soothsayers by birds, diviners by seeing the entrails of beasts sacrificed. WITCHES: A witch or hag is she which being [d]eluded by a league made with the devil through his persuasion, inspiration and juggling, thinketh she can design what manner of evil things soever, either by thought or imprecation, as to shake the air with lightnings and thunder, to cause hail and tempests, to remove green corn or trees to another place, to be carried of her familiar (which hath taken upon him the deceitful shape of a goat, swine, or calf, etc.) into some mountain far distant, in a wonderful short space of time, and sometimes to fly upon a staff or fork, or some other instrument, and to spend all the night after with her sweetheart, in playing, sporting, banqueting, dancing, dalliance, and divers other devilish lusts and lewd disports, and to show a thousand such monstrous mockeries. |
