This image is from a 1610 edition of the book Compendium Maleficarum (found in Brian Levack's The Witch Hunt in Early Modern Europe). It shows witches who have taken the form of creatures--including a slow but very evil snail--to work their maleficence.
Shapeshifting plays a role in The Witch's Trinity, as an owl and a cat are possibly imbued with human souls.
