Synopsis Daemonologie (or Daemonologie, In Forme of a Dialogue, Divided into three Books: By the High and Mighty Prince, James) was first published in 1597 by King James VI of Scotland (later also James I of England). It was intended to be a philosophical dissertation on necromancy and the historical relationships between the diverse methods of divination used from ancient black magic. This included a study on demonology and the methods demons used to disturb troubled men. It also touches on subjects such as werewolves and vampires. It was a political yet theological statement meant to educate a misinformed population on the history, practices and consequences of sorcery and the reasons for persecuting a witch in a Christian society under the rule of canonical law. This book is believed to be one of the main sources used by William Shakespeare in the production of Macbeth. Shakespeare attributed many quotes and rituals found within the book directly to the Weird Sisters, yet also attributed the Scottish themes and settings referenced from the trials in which King James was involved.
