Irish Witchcraft & Demonology

An Excerpt:
When did witchcraft make its appearance in Ireland, and what was the
progress therein? It seems probable that this belief, together with
certain aspects of fairy lore hitherto unknown to the Irish, and ideas
relative to milk and butter magic, may in the main be counted as
results of the Anglo-Norman invasion, though it is possible that an
earlier installment of these came in with the Scandinavians. With
our present knowledge we cannot trace its active existence in Ireland
further back than the Kyteler case in 1324; and this, though it was
almost certainly the first occasion on which the evil made itself
apparent to the general public, yet seems to have been only the
culmination of events that had been quietly and unobtrusively
happening for some little time previously.
