Attitudes towards Witchcraft and Magic

1. Page 1

I am a Year 13 A-Level student from the West Midlands, UK and this survey is being used for my AQA Extended Project concerning attitudes towards witchcraft and magic, primarily in British society, during the Late Medieval and Early Modern periods of British history and today. All responses are anonymous and will be used to help analyse attitudes towards witchcraft and magic now and whether they have changed significantly from the times when witch trials were common.
