The chapter focuses on the social nature of witchcraft accusations and attempts to outline a general portrait (or rather four distinct ones) of witch-hunting in Lithuania. The author examines the interplay of law, religion, and social power dynamics. While it is difficult to definitively link Lithuanian witch trials to a particular social group, the most common pattern reflects their predominantly rural character and downward social orientation. The close study takes into account the social status, personal characteristics, and relationships between the parties involved in the trials. An analysis of the attributed harms reveals the fears and concerns of both private individuals and the wider community, highlighting the complex tensions and conflicts underlying the accusations. The chapter also investigates the correlation between witch-hunting and the socio-political changes occurring in Lithuania at the time, such as the expansion of manorialism and serfdom. The study identifies four geographical zones with uneven correlations between social characteristics and the diversity of witch-hunting practices. In predominantly Ruthenian and Orthodox/Uniate areas, accusations tended to focus on individual scapegoating, whereas predominantly Lithuanian and Catholic regions showed a stronger tendency towards collective scapegoating and witchcraft conspiracies. This suggests that witch-hunting acted as a form of scapegoating, with the choice of this form influenced by cultural factors.
