	The Witch Cult in Western Europe by Margaret Alice Murray
		Murray had an original approach to the witch trials; she decided to treat the testimony of the accused witches as ethnographic data.
		Murray, upon examination of the evidence, concluded that as barbaric as the witch trials were, they were conducted according to long-established legal procedures; that there was material evidence, witnesses corroborated each other, and (perhaps most tellingly) that not all confessions were extracted under torture.
		Whether or not Murrays literalistic intepretation of the Witch trial evidence is correct, whether or not all Neopagans accept all of her views, Murrays' ideas are at the basis of modern Neopaganism, and as such deserve serious study, as well as a healthy dose of critical thinking.

	A Critique of Margaret Murray's The Witch-Cult in Western Europe (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is from the contemporary accounts of the witch trials that Murray extracts her picture of the rites and practices of the witch-cult, a cult apparently engaging in, among other things, worship of the Devil, the working of nefarious magic, child and animal sacrifice, and sexual orgies.
		Murray herself admits at the outset, "Of the ancient religion of pre-Christian Britain there are few written records, but it is contrary to all expectation that a cult should die out and leave no trace immediately on the introduction of a new religion" (p.19).
		Murray claims that this bull is "only one of many ordinances against the practices of an earlier cult" (p.24), yet if this is so, she neglects to provide these previous ordinances, for among the eighteen cited instances of crackdowns, not one names any practice specific to the witch-cult Murray scries.

		However, Margaret Murray's reputation as a witchcraft scholar was criticized by most historians because of her demonstrated tendency to subjectively interpret or otherwise manipulate evidence to conform to the theory.
		Murray's ideas may be attributed to the popularity of the conservative concept of a romanticised rural Deep England in reaction to modernism and the horrors of the First World War.
		Perhaps most doubtfully, Murray decided that the evidence given in witchhunt trials, evidence often given under torture or threat of torture, was accurate, because its consistency seemed to her to be evidence of the coherent belief system she proposed.

		However, Margaret Murray's reputation as a witchcraft historian was criticized because of her demonstrated tendency to subjectively interpret evidence to conform to the theory.
		One example of Murray's questionable methodology was her concept of covens with thirteen members: She cited one Scottish reference out of thousands of witch trials, and in searching for other thirteen-member covens, she excluded, accused or added individuals until a total of thirteen was reached for any given group.
		Joan of Arc was rewritten as a pagan martyr by Murray.

	Becket Leaves - Reviews - Margaret Murray
		Murray, among others, interprets those lines as a bow that the buffalo-man is holding, but, although it may be hard to tell from this picture, he's not actually supporting it with his hand (well, his hoof), and it definitely is connected to his nose.
		Murray's treatment of the witch-cult in antiquity falls prey to the use of the comparative method again, as well as to her tendency to associate things with the cult on the slimmest of evidence.
		Murray mentions Becket's expectation of approaching death, his resistance to the monks' attempts to save him, the condition of his body after death, the fact of his death being known abroad on the day of it occurrence.

		Margaret Murray a noted Egyptologist, wrote in the 1930s a book entitled "The God of the Witches" that depicted a male dominated Craft that she said had died out under persecution in the sixteenth century.

		Margaret Murray/s 1921 work entitled 'The Witch Cult in Western Europe" quoted witch-trial evidence to support her thesis that a horned God coven centred cult survived in Europe until the 17th Century.
