With this town is connected the history of Nancy Camel, who lived in some period of history either never ascertained or so remote that time has effaced all traces from mortal memory. Tradition, however, relates, for the benefit of posterity, that when the manufacture of stockings formed a portion of the daily work of its inhabitants, and when old and young worked their fingers to the bone to obtain money, there lived an old lady of the above name in the neighbouring woods, and was of course accounted a witch, or wise woman. Regarded as an object of ridicule, if not of dread, stiunned by her own sex, and without kit or kin; in her seclusion and retirement she laboured at her stockings unceasingly--Sundays not excepted--and here she mourned over the bitterness of her wretched life. In the midst of her solitude, she, too, is visited by the evil one. What transactions passed between them, history relates not--the result of the interview never transpired; perhaps she broke, like many of her companions in sorcery, the compact duly signed and sealed to deliver over her soul to her lord and master for favours conferred. However, one evening after a most sultry day, the dark clouds gathered, and terminated the day with gloom; thunder silled the sky, accompanied, too, by the flash of vivid lightning. As night drew on, so the fury of the elements increased. In the midst of the storm was heard a loud and piercing shriek, that faintly echoed till the morning broke; there, too, was heard, the cracking of a whip and the creaking of wheels. Morn came at last, calm and glorious after the storm; some persons, half suspecting the cause of the shrieks they had heard, and half out of curiosity to see how Nancy had fared, visited the...

Download or read book Witchcraft, Magic and Culture, 1736-1951 written by Owen Davies and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-11 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most studies of witchcraft and magic have been concerned with the era of the witch trials, a period that officially came to an end in Britain with the passing of the Witchcraft Act of 1736. But the majority of people continued to fear witches and put their faith in magic. Owen Davies here traces the history of witchcraft and magic from 1736 to 1951, when the passing of the Fraudulent Mediums Act finally erased the concept of witchcraft from the statute books. This original study examines the extent to which witchcraft, magic and fortune-telling continued to influence the thoughts and actions of the people of England and Wales in a period when the forces of "progress" are often thought to have vanquished such beliefs.

Download or read book Cursed Britain written by Thomas Waters and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of how witchcraft and black magic have survived, through the modern era and into the present dayCursed Britain unveils the enduring power of witchcraft, curses and black magic in modern times. Few topics are so secretive or controversial. Yet, whether in the 1800s or the early 2000s, when disasters struck or personal misfortunes mounted, many Britons found themselves believing in things they had previously dismissed – dark supernatural forces.Historian Thomas Waters here explores the lives of cursed or bewitched people, along with the witches and witch-busters who helped and harmed them. Waters takes us on a fascinating journey from Scottish islands to the folklore-rich West Country, from the immense territories of the British Empire to metropolitan London. We learn why magic caters to deep-seated human needs but see how it can also be abused, and discover how witchcraft survives by evolving and changing. Along the way, we examine an array of remarkable beliefs and rituals, from traditional folk magic to diverse spiritualities originating in Africa and Asia.This is a tale of cynical quacks and sincere magical healers, depressed people and furious vigilantes, innocent victims and rogues who claimed to possess evil abilities. Their spellbinding stories raise important questions about the state’s role in regulating radical spiritualities, the fragility of secularism and the true nature of magic.
