What happened to witch hunts in the Stuart period?

During the Stuart period, particularly in the early 17th century, witch hunts intensified, fueled by social, political, and religious turmoil, including the English Civil War. The infamous witch trials, such as those in East Anglia, led to the execution of numerous accused witches. However, by the late 17th century, skepticism about witch hunts grew, culminating in a decline in such trials as Enlightenment thinking began to take hold. The 1736 Witchcraft Act effectively ended witch hunts in England by decriminalizing witchcraft and emphasizing evidence-based legal practices.


What caused the witch hunts of England?

The really intense witch hunts in England were the result of the intense feeling on the subject by King James I of England, who was also King James VI of Scotland. These began in North Berwick, Scotland in 1590, after King James had been hit by a storm while at sea on the way to Denmark, where he was to marry. The storm was blamed on witches. King James I published a book called Daemonologie on the subject of witches, and it was influential in later trials in Britain, North America, and elsewhere.It should be noted that this was not during the Middle Ages, but rather a thing of the Renaissance.Please see the links below.

What were the underlying causes of the witch hunts in 1692?

The witch hunts of 1692, particularly in Salem, Massachusetts, were fueled by a combination of social, religious, and political factors. Tensions from recent conflicts, such as King William's War, created a climate of fear and paranoia. Additionally, rigid Puritan beliefs and a strong emphasis on sin and moral purity led to a heightened suspicion of dissent and difference, while personal grievances and local rivalries often manifested in accusations. These factors combined to create a perfect storm for widespread hysteria and scapegoating.
