I highly recommend the Witches of Scotland Podcast:
https://www.witchesofscotland.com/podcast

I particularly reference the first several episodes featuring a conversation with Dr. Julian Goodare

Check out the excellent resource on Scottish Witchcraft trials:
The Survey of Scottish Witchcraft:
http://witches.hca.ed.ac.uk/home/

Check out Hans Peter Broedel’s Book (Who’s Library I’ve been borrowing):
The Malleus Maleficarum and the construction of witchcraft Theology and Popular Belief
https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35002

I also Rather enjoyed Gordon Mooney’s articles for background reading and some potential threads to pull at.
