"Daemonologie" by King of England James I is a discourse written in the style of a conversation that looks into witchcraft and everything thought to be supernatural. Written in a time when people were afraid of witches, the book tries to prove that witchcraft is real and dangerous. Through discussions between two people, the book explains what witches do, how their magic works, and why they absolutely must be harshly punished. The author uses religious texts and stories to support the idea that evil forces impact people's actions to convince the reader about the reality of the dark arts.
