After offering arguments to substantiate his choice of method, the author continues to descriptionbe principles underlying African witchcraft practices, and to match certain Old Testament and other ancient Near-Eastern examples (notably those taken from the Akkadian Maql texts) to these. Ancient Israel's social structure, the changes within it with regard to the position of its lowly and downtrodden members, and the function witchcraft came to fulfil within this changed structure, are then taken into consideration.
