"An Enchanted World" examines the Bohuslän witchcraft trials of 1669-1672 and the ideas about the world that formed the basis for belief in witchcraft and other supernatural powers, both before and after the time of the great witch trials. The presentation is based on the many statements made by witnesses and accused in the detailed protocols of the searches. The design and course of the Bohuslän trials are dealt with in the introductory part of the book, while other parts deal with various aspects of the world of imagination and the perception of reality at the time. Among the topics covered are perceptions of the relationship between dream and reality, notions of shape-shifting, supernatural soul forces and the magical power of words, and the images of God and the devil that appear in the accounts of witnesses and the accused.
