The Witch of Eye explores the horrors inflicted on so-called "witches" of the past, revealing torture and forced confessions alongside accounts of gentleness and midwives.

This captivating and insightful anthology delves into the chilling tales inflicted upon so-called "witches" throughout history. The Witch of Eye unveils a range of remedies, potions, and spells intended to heal, yet misconstrued by inquisitors as evidence of malevolence. The author vividly portrays the harrowing experiences of torture and coerced confessions, alongside accounts of the compassionate nature of legendary midwives. In one essay, folklore reveals that Jesus's mother, a midwife, cured her own sons rheumatism. Other essays offer subtle comparisons to contemporary discussions surrounding abortion and environmental degradation. Nuernberger interweaves her personal experiences as well, including an ironic reflection on her own wedding, an uncomfortable visit to the Prague Museum of Torture, and an afternoon spent passionately tearing out a garden in a fit of rage. The extensive research behind her work is enlightening, lively, and frequently humorous. This collection is a true thrill to read.
