For all Danes interested in our own witch-hunting history, I can suggest tuning in to DR2 on Monday 📺 (or Sunday for streaming)

Here, I - and other lovely people such as @witchykallestrup.bsky.social - feature in DRs new four episode documentary “Heksejagt”.

This exciting book has just been published! 📘 If you wish to read more on Danish #earlymodern #magic, take a look at my chapter called ‘The Devil’s Sacraments’: Magical Practice During the Time of the Danish Witch Trials (1589–1660).

A great thanks to the editors!

It's a source of vexation to me that there's no proper word for the study of fairies - and I suspect the absence of such a term may be one reason why the study of fairies doesn't get taken seriously. So what are the potential options? (thread)

Given the X-odus (see what we did there? A true fire bird): which other #earlymodern centres have arrived here already?

We've got a starter pack for easy following, but keen to hear about more: go.bsky.app/LLzFj3b

A new Starter Pack of Danish historians - let me know if you want to be added.

As you might notice, there is a bit of a gender unequality in the Pack, so please help if you can :-)

Come and find us - Marion, Tabitha and their seven-headed monster project! #witches #witchtrials #history

Also, now there’s more of us on here: this is why we keep underscoring the value of #Medieval & #EarlyModern studies. #Skystorians

Congratulations! Sounds fascinating- I would love to read it someday.

GODWIT The research project GODWIT at SDU examines how the witch trials between 1559 and 1660 may have affected the Danish realm.

Wondering what the latest research into the Danish #witchtrials might be? ✨

Then check out our current research project at University of Southern Denmark: “Godly Power and Witchcraft in the Danish Realms (1559-1660)”.
