As dusk fell on a misty evening in 1521, Martin Luther - hiding from his enemies at Wartburg Castle - found himself seemingly tormented by demons hurling walnuts at his bedroom window. A belief - like Luther's - in the supernatural, and in black magic, has been central to European cultural life for 3000 years.
