Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Désiré Bourneville (1840-1909) fut un médecin aliéniste célèbre en son temps. Il fut le premier à soutenir la nécessité d'éduquer les enfants attardés et à appliquer une hygiène sévère à la Clinique de Bicêtre. À la suite des études de Jean Wier, il considérait que les sorcières étaient des folles persécutées à cause des crises hallucinatoires qu'elles subissaient; ce fut la raison de la création de sa célèbre Bibliothèque Diabolique: réunir les témoignages anciens sur la sorcellerie. Dans le présent volume ont été réunis trois textes publiés dans la Collection qu'il fonda, respectivement les premier, cinquième et sixième volumes. Le Sabbat des Sorciers réunit les témoignages anciens sur le sabbat et qui furent collationnés par D. Bourneville et Edmond Teinturier (1839-1902), autre médecin aliéniste. La Possession de Jeanne Fery est une histoire qui défraya la chronique à la fin du XVIesiècle; l'ouvrage fut préfacé et transcrit par Bourneville. Le Procès criminel de la dernière sorcière brûlée à Genève est la transcription des interrogatoires d'une supposée sorcière faite sur les documents conservés aux Archives de Genève par Paul-Louis Ladame (1842-1919), aussi médecin aliéniste à Genève. La présente collection s'inscrit dans la continuité de la Bibliothèque Diabolique fondée par Désiré Bourneville, publier des textes rares ou manuscrits; et des études sur le même sujet.
Book Synopsis Satanism: A Social History by : Massimo Introvigne
Download or read book Satanism: A Social History written by Massimo Introvigne and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 17th-century French haberdasher invented the Black Mass. An 18th-century English Cabinet Minister administered the Eucharist to a baboon. High-ranking Catholic authorities in the 19th century believed that Satan appeared in Masonic lodges in the shape of a crocodile and played the piano there. A well-known scientist from the 20th century established a cult of the Antichrist and exploded in a laboratory experiment. Three Italian girls in 2000 sacrificed a nun to the Devil. A Black Metal band honored Satan in Krakow, Poland, in 2004 by exhibiting on stage 120 decapitated sheep heads. Some of these stories, as absurd as they might sound, were real. Others, which might appear to be equally well reported, are false. But even false stories have generated real societal reactions. For the first time, Massimo Introvigne proposes a general social history of Satanism and anti-Satanism, from the French Court of Louis XIV to the Satanic scares of the late 20th century, satanic themes in Black Metal music, the Church of Satan, and beyond.
Book Synopsis The Encyclopedic Sourcebook of Satanism by : James R. Lewis
Download or read book The Encyclopedic Sourcebook of Satanism written by James R. Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the public imagination Satanism is associated with bizarre rituals, perverse hedonistic lifestyles, heavy metal music, immature adolescents acting out, horror movies, and rumors of ritual abuse. But what are the facts behind the urban legends and the "moral panics" that periodically sweep the country regarding this countercultural phenomenon? This authoritative reference work gathers together scholarly studies of Satanism and original source material, focusing on two major aspects--organized religious Satanism and the Satanic Ritual Abuse hoax that was prevalent in the 1980s and early 1990s. The contributors first examine modern Satanism, a decentralized movement whose only coherence is based on certain themes that date back to the writings of Anton Szandor LaVey, especially his Satanic Bible. Among other factors, the authors discuss how the emergence of the Internet as a form of communication has created some coherence among disparate groups through cross-reference. Many articles are devoted to the Satanic Ritual Abuse scare, an erroneous belief in a vast underground network of Satanists who were abusing children. For years members of the law enforcement community and numerous therapists, encouraged by the hype of mass media, bought into this panic. Other topics include the role of the media in the perceptions of Satanism and Satanic Ritual Abuse, juvenile delinquency and Satanism, and police pursuit of satanic crime. The volume concludes with primary source material, including a report from the Ritual Abuse Task Force and selections from current Satanism groups. This objective reference work will be useful for professionals in many fields and members of the public interested in sorting out the facts from the myths surrounding this controversial subculture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fascinating nature of religious Satanism, it has attracted little scholarship until relatively recently.

The first part contains broader studies of influential groups and important aspects of the Satanic milieu, especially regarding historical developments, the construction of tradition and issues of legitimacy. The second part narrows the view to regional variations, especially with studies on Northern and Eastern Europe. The third part consists of primary documents selected for their representational and informational value.

Download or read book Satanic Feminism written by Per Faxneld and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Bible, Eve was the first to heed Satan's advice to eat the forbidden fruit and thus responsible for all of humanity's subsequent miseries. The notion of woman as the Devil's accomplice is prominent throughout Christian history and has been used to legitimize the subordination of wives and daughters. In the nineteenth century, rebellious females performed counter-readings of this misogynist tradition. Lucifer was reconceptualized as a feminist liberator of womankind, and Eve became a heroine. In these reimaginings, Satan is an ally in the struggle against a tyrannical patriarchy supported by God the Father and his male priests. Per Faxneld shows how this Satanic feminism was expressed in a wide variety of nineteenth-century literary texts, autobiographies, pamphlets, newspaper articles, paintings, sculptures, and even artifacts of consumer culture like jewelry. He details how colorful figures like the suffragette Elizabeth Cady Stanton, gender-bending Theosophist H. P. Blavatsky, author Aino Kallas, actress Sarah Bernhardt, anti-clerical witch enthusiast Matilda Joslyn Gage, decadent marchioness Luisa Casati, and the Luciferian lesbian poetess Renée Vivien embraced these reimaginings. By exploring the connections between esotericism, literature, art and the political realm, Satanic Feminism sheds new light on neglected aspects of the intellectual history of feminism, Satanism, and revisionary mythmaking.

Book Synopsis Satan in America by : W. Scott Poole
Download or read book Satan in America written by W. Scott Poole and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satan in America tells the story of America's complicated relationship with the devil. "New light" evangelists of the eighteenth century, enslaved African Americans, demagogic politicians, and modern American film-makers have used the devil to damn their enemies, explain the nature of evil and injustice, mount social crusades, construct a national identity, and express anxiety about matters as diverse as the threat of war to the dangers of deviant sexuality. The idea of the monstrous and the bizarre providing cultural metaphors that interact with historical change is not new. Poole takes a new tack by examining this idea in conjunction with the concerns of American religious history. The book shows that both the range and the scope of American religiousness made theological evil an especially potent symbol. Satan appears repeatedly on the political, religious, and cultural landscape of the United States, a shadow self to the sunny image of American progress and idealism.

Download or read book Romantic Satanism written by P. Schock and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-07-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criticism has largely emphasised the private meaning of 'Romantic Satanism', treating it as the celebration of subjectivity through allusions to Paradise Lost that voice Satan's solitary defiance. The first full-length treatment of its subject, Romantic Satanism explores this literary phenomenon as a socially produced myth exhibiting the response of writers to their milieu. Through contextualized readings of the major works of Blake, Shelley, and Byron, this book demonstrates that Satanism enabled Romantic writers to interpret their tempestuous age: it provided them a mythic medium for articulating the hopes and fears their age aroused, for prophesying and inducing change.
