Swiss Witch Still Not Exonerated
Hi Sabina,
Thanks for this link. I have some more material
on my blog.
It's less of a blog and more of a scrap
collection. I'm interested in the discourse on witchcraft in the popular press
among other things (particularly in the faits divers). I particularly
got into the press because I'm researching the history of Naia (a
sorceress in Brittany c. 1900).
There's a reference on the blog (link below) to a
short paper (in English) by Walter Hauser.
If anyone out there has any links for press
related material about witchcraft in France (or the rest of Europe) c. 1900
I'd be grateful.
Best
Chris Kimberley

Check out this article about Anna Goeldi, the last witch
to be executed in Switzerland, and at the relatively late date of
1792:

There’s now a museum dedicated to her memory, and the
town is trying to have her exonerated posthumously.
