Hello All,
I'm an aspiring author and I've been trying to do some research on European Witchcraft, specifically curses, and how it looked in the new world (circa 1750).
All I can find is articles about Supernatural and how realistic it is, but I can't corroborate any of that information. I know Voodoo and other similar religions have popped up in my research so I'm a little worried my plot may need a rewrite if I can't find something similar in European Paganism/Witchcraft.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me?
The Oxford Handbook of Witchcraft in Early Modern Europe and Colonial America, ed. Brian P. Levack has chapters on 'Witchcraft in British America' and 'Sorcery and Witchcraft in Spanish and Portuguese America'. If you struggle with finding it in a library please let me know and I'll copy the chapters and send them to you.
