Witches: women said to have magical powers, accused as heretic, involved in satanic rituals, flying on broomsticks, having close relationships with the Devil himself, etch. The writer explores the world of medieval witches, their satanic powers, their legends, their famous hunt and trials. Respecting the laws of academic methodology, though sometimes disrupting them, in order to narrate his favorite myths and witches-tales, he seeks to enlighten the dark times of late medieval period of the West. History and legend seem to coincide, as he ponders over questionable medieval texts, secondary sources and classic tales. And, after the witch-hunts are over and the fires of the victims extinguished…   “What still remains, is a bunch of witches flying wild in the night sky, inside paintings, legends, stories and fictional narrations. What still remains, is their shadows cast upon the vivid stream of fantasy which never stops to embrace human fear and give birth to the dark tales of tomorrow”.
