Dennis Wheatley found this to be a very useful book.

36. The Witch and the Priest – Hilda Lewis

Samuel Fleming, the priest, has been part of the group sentencing Joan Flower and her daughters to death for their crimes of witchcraft. Joan, in fact, does not make the noose, dying in prison just like Demdike of the Pendle Witches. Fleming has a lot of guilt about that trial and the death of Joan and her daughters, but mostly Joan because he thought she was hot. And Joan had some reservations about the last spells she did with her daughters and also how her daughter Margaret ended up, therefore, she does not get to go to hell when she dies in prison, Joan’s stuck in limbo.

To Fleming this means she’s a soul to be won even though he’s dying and can’t really argue too much with her. He can slightly pish-posh about how fun she says sabbats are and cringe about how cold she says the Master is, unless he wants you to have his child. So Fleming mostly listens while her ghost tells him about what she did and why she did it. A lot of important things are said about lacking opportunities when you’re poor. Also, a lot of things about what happens at those sabbats in the woods and how spells are done.

Peregrine already knows how spells are done, so does Ozma, and they’re not telling any priests, even to get each other in trouble.
