A fascinating post. I do wonder whether Matthew Hopkins, the Witch Finder General, really believed that the witches he “found” where (in truth) witches, or did he simply jump on a lucrative bandwagon? There is of course, at this distance in time no way of knowing.

Thank you so much for sharing. That’s an interesting question. When I researched Matthew Hopkins I came to the conclusion that he took advantage of the political and cultural climate of the time to both make money and to vent his own hatred. But as you say, we’ll never know for sure.
You are welcome for the share, Alison. Best wishes – Kevin
