The infamous Salem trials are etched into the consciousness of modern America, the human toll a reminder of the dangers of intolerance and persecution. The refrain 'Remember Salem ' was invoked frequently over the ensuing centuries. As time passed, the trials became a milepost measuring the distance America had progressed from its colonial past, its victims now the righteous and their persecutors the shamed. Yet the story of witchcraft did not end as the... America Bewitched is the first major history of witchcraft in America - from the Salem witch trials of 1692 to the present day.

Murder, Magic, Madness: The Victorian Trials of Dove and the Wizard
ISBN: 9781138407978 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1856 William Dove, a young tenant farmer, was tried and executed for the poisoning of his wife Harriet. The trial might have been a straightforward case of homicide, but because Dove became involved with Henry Harrison, a Leeds wizard, and demonstrated through his actions and words a strong belief in magic and the powers of the devil, considerable effort was made to establish whether these beliefs were symptomatic of insanity. It seems that Dove murdered his wife to hasten a prediction made by Harrison that he would remarry a more attractive and wealthy woman. Dove employed Harrison to...

Popular Magic: Cunning-Folk in English History

Building Magic: Ritual and Re-Enchantment in Post-Medieval Structures
ISBN: 9783030767679 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book redresses popular interpretations of concealed objects, enigmatically discovered within the fabric of post-medieval buildings. A wide variety of objects have been found up chimneybreasts, bricked up in walls, and concealed within recesses: old shoes, mummified cats, horse skulls, pierced hearts, to name only some. The most common approach to these finds is to apply a one-size-fits-all analysis and label them survivals and apotropaic (evil-averting) devices. This book reconsiders such interpretations, exploring the invention and reinvention of traditions regarding building magic. The...
