This book was released on 2019-01-06 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This little booklet is a gold mine of primary sources related to the persecution of "witches" in times past. Compiled by Burr at the end of the 19th century, it provides a great deal of compact material without any adulteration.Of great interest here are both the writings of religious figures during the era of the Witch Hammer and thereabouts, as well as some texts referring to the firsthand accounts of the prosecuted, including a somewhat chilling account smuggled out of a prison in Bamberg regarding the farcical nature of the witch trials themselves, written by the condemned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Witch-Persecutions The Nature and Reality of Witchcraft From Translations and Reprints from the Original Sources of European History. vol. III. No. 4. Edited by George L. Burr. [1896] The belief in witchcraft and the persecution of those supposed to practice it have been almost universal in human history. Christianity inherited both the belief and the persecution from the religions, Jewish and pagan, which preceded it. But, under the influence of its monotheistic faith and its humane spirit, it was long before the belief became throughout Christendom a panic and the persecution an epidemic. When, however, in the thirteenth century, the scholastic theology, in its love of logical completeness, gave new prominence to the Devil and his followers as the counterpart and parody of God and his church and when, in the fourteenth century, the Holy Inquisition, successful in rooting out the heretics, turned its idle hands to the extirpation of those viler sinners whom it believed plighted wholly to Satan, the terror grew. The witch-persecutions it engendered ravaged for centuries all Christian lands, and have not yet wholly died away. It is with these persecutions, from their rise into full activity in the fifteenth century to their culmination in the seventeenth, that the present study deals. It seeks to illustrate their source, their scope, and their methods. With the superstitions which suggested the charges it concerns itself little. Both in these and in the procedure there is much too foul or too brutal for reproduction here. It was, indeed, no small part of the evil of the matter, that it so long debauched the imagination of Christendom.

Book excerpt: "Professor Burr gives us accurate translations and reprints of some of the most important documents relating to the witch-persecutions in Europe from Johannes Nider in 1437 to Cotton Mather in 1689. From the reading of these terrible chapters in the history of human thought, one rises impressed with the common goodness of all religions, no less than with the common weakness of all theologies. If any one doubts the evolution of mankind in word and in deed, let him read these authentic records of doubt in God's power to hold his universe to the good, the true, the beautiful, of man's confession of Satan's omnipotence, his abdication of self-control, his casting off of honor, love and pity, his utter abandonment to irrational thoughts and debauched imaginations, and then turn to Browning and Lowell for evidence of the great change that has come over the minds of men....Man can never err in the same way again. Still, in America recent attacks on academic liberty of speech and action show that we have not yet reached the ideal." -Alexander F. Chamberlain, The Citizen, Volume 3, March, 1897 This is a survey of primary sources for the history of the witch persecutions. Written late in the 19th Century, this collection doesn't attempt any analysis of the roots of the phenomena other than clerical abuse and mass insanity. Most importantly, these texts give insight into the cascading paranoia which characterizes witch hunts of any historical period. Chapters include: The Theory Of Witch-Persecution; The Beginnings Of The Witch-Persecutions; The Witch-Persecution At Trier; The Witch-Persecution At Bonn; The Witch-Persecution In Scotland; The Witch-Persecution At Bamberg; The Witch-Persecution At Würzburg; The Methods Of The Witch-Persecutions; Select Bibliography.

Download or read book Witch Hunts written by Robert Rapley and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2007 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witch hunts are the products of intense fear and paranoia and the results are often terrible. The accused in three famous witchcraft cases - in Bamberg and Wurzburg, Germany, in Loudun, France, and in Salem, Massachusetts - were assumed to be guilty without proof. Secret accusations were accepted, evidence was falsified, and extreme pressures, including torture, were used. Arguing that fear was, and still is, a prerequisite to any witch hunt, Robert Rapley shows that the current hunt for terrorists mirrors the witch crazes of the past.
Book Synopsis Magic, Mystery, and Science by : Dan Burton
Download or read book Magic, Mystery, and Science written by Dan Burton and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[P.D. Ouspensky's] yearning for a transcendent, timeless reality—one that cancels out physical disintegration and death—figures into science at some fundamental level. Einstein found solace in his theory of relativity, which suggested to him that events are ever-present in the space-time continuum. When his friend Michele Besso passed on shortly before his own death, he wrote: 'For us believing physicists the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, even if a stubborn one.'" —from Magic, Mystery, and Science The triumph of science would appear to have routed all other explanations of reality. No longer does astrology or alchemy or magic have the power to explain the world to us. Yet at one time each of these systems of belief, like religion, helped shed light on what was dark to our understanding. Nor have the occult arts disappeared. We humans have a need for mystery and a sense of the infinite. Magic, Mystery, and Science presents the occult as a "third stream" of belief, as important to the shaping of Western civilization as Greek rationalism or Judeo-Christianity. The occult seeks explanations in a world that is living and intelligent—quite unlike the one supposed by science. By taking these beliefs seriously, while keeping an eye on science, this book aims to capture some of the power of the occult. Readers will discover that the occult has a long history that reaches back to Babylonia and ancient Egypt. It proceeds alongside, and frequently mingles with, religion and science. From the Egyptian Book of the Dead to New Age beliefs, from Plato to Adolf Hitler, occult ways of knowing have been used—and hideously abused—to explain a world that still tempts us with the knowledge of its dark secrets.

Book Synopsis The Witch of Eye by : Kathryn Nuernberger
Download or read book The Witch of Eye written by Kathryn Nuernberger and published by Sarabande Books. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This amazingly wise and nimble collection investigates the horrors inflicted on so-called “witches” of the past. The Witch of Eye unearths salves, potions, and spells meant to heal, yet interpreted by inquisitors as evidence of evil. The author describes torture and forced confessions alongside accounts of gentleness of legendary midwives. In one essay about a trial, we learn through folklore that Jesus’s mother was a midwife who cured her own son’s rheumatism. In other essays there are subtle parallels to contemporary discourse around abortion and environmental destruction. Nuernberger weaves in her own experiences too. There’s an ironic look at her own wedding, an uncomfortable visit to the Prague Museum of Torture, and an afternoon spent tearing out a garden in a mercurial fit. Her researched material is eye-opening, lively, and often funny. An absolutely thrilling collection.
