My research topic is how magic related to religion in the early modern world. Magic became popular around the 15th century. I think that it is interesting how different kinds of magic related to religions. Magic relates to religion within the beliefs of spirits, devils, and angels. Christians believed that spirits lurked in ordinary objects.
Magic related to religion because of how the church was related to the witch trials. The hunting of women that were accused of witchcraft were organized by the church. The church also organized the punishments of witches, which in some cases included death. Eventually the church realized that many innocent people were being killed for witchcraft, and that that the witch hunts were uncalled for. This topic is really interesting and it has been interesting to learn about.
