"A pioneer work in…the sexual structuring of society. This is not just another book about witchcraft." —Edmund S. Morgan, Yale University Confessing to "familiarity with the devils," Mary Johnson, a servant, was executed by Connecticut officials in 1648. A wealthy Boston widow, Ann Hibbens was hanged in 1656 for casting spells on her neighbors. The case of Ann Cole, who was "taken with very strange Fits," fueled an outbreak of witchcraft accusations in Hartford a generation before the notorious events at Salem. More than three hundred years later, the question "Why?" still haunts us. Why were these and other women likely witches—vulnerable to accusations of witchcraft and possession? Carol F. Karlsen reveals the social construction of witchcraft in seventeenth-century New England and illuminates the larger contours of gender relations in that society.

Pages : 192
Book Description
We often think of demons appearing only in extravagant and extraordinary manifestations or working only through "bad" people. But the truth is more frightening than that. Most demonic activity takes place undetected, under the radar, and can even be hidden in our own prayer lives and in the churches where we attend Mass. Subtlety, illusion, and deceit are the preferred tactics of Satan's army of fallen angels, and they are waging an invisible battle for souls -- right now -- within and around us all. With St. Teresa of Avila's masterpiece The Interior Castle as his guide, bestselling author Dan Burke takes you on an illuminating journey through the seven levels of spiritual progress, explaining what God is accomplishing within your soul at each stage, as well as the finely tailored demonic strategies applied to throw you off your path. You'll learn how the devil is as active in your prayer life as you are, and how the saints were able to counter Satan as he adapted his schemes to correspond with where they were on their spiritual journeys. By discovering the myriad challenges St. Teresa faced and the remedies she employed to advance the spiritual progress of her soul, you'll know precisely what to expect as you progress in your current state to your final spiritual destination. You'll also learn: The marks of authentic contemplative encounter with God Why God uses dryness in prayer to advance the progress of our souls How to know if you're still in the "Purgative Way" How desolation can work for the good of the soul Why it's dangerous to assume that your decisions are correct if you feel at peace How to fight distraction in prayer The 11 ways to test the authenticity of charismatic gifts

Pages : 371
Book Description
When Satan took over America, he created a new cult of civilization. For example, he built the flying cities on earth and he deployed them around the weak world. He changes the Oceans, and the major rivers of the world into mere ponds, all to serve his diabolic objectives. He twisted the mind of the peoples’ nation, and even the mind of civilization. And, at a point, the diabolic excesses began to offend God . . . And, God began to react. God began to fight back: He sent down, to the earth, a spy-angel, for each of the U.S. states, to monitor the evil deeds of the devil. And, then, God got even bolder, all to Satanic total displeasure. For example, when God caused the great national idol. Lady of Liberty, to be destroyed, Satan fought back. He speedily re-built it, turning the new idol of the nation into a walking robotic lady: with the exceptional features of the most beautiful lady. He declared a universal war on everything Divine. And, as the war began, there was a great bloodletting. Satan defeated God’s angels who were sent down to fight him; one best time at a season, Satan was able to win a Great God in a holy war. And, having won a great victory, at a very huge loss, he re-built his kingdom, with America as his Universal Capital. And, to prevent God from another invasion, he stationed all his terribly armed flying cities, ready to fight, all in the open sky.
