This chapter analyses how imported ideas and images of witchcraft revitalized, reshaped, and amplified moderate indigenous beliefs, ultimately creating a local witchcraft discourse capable of fuelling witch-hunting. It also examines the factors that defined the specifics of this process. The study argues that regional and social differences in witch-hunting corresponded closely with the religious landscape. Lithuanian society constructed its witchcraft discourse by building on local folk beliefs and selectively incorporating elements from broader learned discourses, including the Western cumulative concept of witchcraft. This process was heavily influenced by ongoing political and social changes. Catholic confessionalization played a key role in transmitting Western witchcraft concepts and narratives to a wide range of Lithuanian social circles, shaping worldviews that initially supported but later contributed to the rejection of these ideas. While all competing churches used elements of the witchcraft discourse in their ideological struggles, the cumulative concept of witchcraft faced obstacles when crossing denominational (Orthodox) and religious (Jewish, Muslim) boundaries. Only selected aspects of these ideas were integrated into locally constructed discourses. Paradoxically, the decline of witch trials in Lithuania was largely driven by the Catholic Church’s efforts to regain control over such trials. This, in turn, gave state elites strong grounds to adopt a sceptical view of witchcraft, both from Enlightenment and religious perspectives.
