The book delves into the rich tapestry of Scottish superstitions surrounding witchcraft and second sight, exploring the beliefs and practices of the Highlands and Islands. It aims to capture oral traditions regarding magic, witchcraft, and the supernatural—highlighting how these beliefs shaped the cultural identity of the region. The opening of the book presents a thorough introduction to the concepts of black witchcraft and white witchcraft, contrasting their implications in the societal context of the Highlands. Campbell outlines the characteristics of witches in Highland folklore, portraying them as figures often misunderstood and marginalized due to their association with mischief and malevolence. Through descriptive anecdotes and examples, he shows how common beliefs about witches encompass varying elements—ranging from their ability to transport themselves magically to the ominous consequences believed to stem from their actions, such as storms and failed livestock. This exploration sets the stage for a deeper dive into the complex interplay of tradition, fear, and the supernatural within Highland culture. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
