Benedictine Maledictions
Author: Lester K. Little
Publisher: Cornell University Press

Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
"'May they be cursed in town and cursed in the fields. May their barns be cursed and may their bones be cursed. May the fruit of their loins be cursed as well as the fruit of their lands.' French monks of the Middle Ages hurled curses like these at their enemies, seeking supernatural assistance when no secular judge could help them. In a long-awaited book written with elegance and erudition, Lester Little undertakes the first full-length study of these maledictions.... The book's focus is the way that religious communities—especially the monks who followed Benedict's Rule and hence were known by his name—used liturgical cursing to safeguard their integrity and their possessions, against both laymen and other ecclesiastics." —Journal of Social History

Laying a curse your own director comes at very high risk, especially using a tenth-level curse without knowing what the consequences might be. If you are a simple adept at the Academy of Malediction and he is the most powerful lord in all the Dark Empire laying such curse may be an incredibly foolish thing to do.But this is exactly what Adept Riatte does in a desperate attempt to avoid expulsion, inadvertently placing this curse upon the Lord Director himself, Master Rian T’er, which triggers a whole string of strange events into motion. Why are Master T’er and Lord Sheider Meros making strange advances to her? Is she responsible for lethal curses mysteriously affecting the locals in her town of Ardam? And adding to the chaos, a serial killer has also moved into the Borderlands – stalking only victims that look just like you – who is he?If you could, in theory, escape the murderer, there was still no imaginable way to escape Master T'er! The Dark Lords always get what they want, in the end.Settle back to enjoy a fast-paced drama, peppered with humor, set in a magical world full of Master Mages, struggling Adepts, rivalries, trolls, dragons, goblins, and other wizardry.

The Oracle and the Curse
Author: Caleb Smith
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674075862
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Condemned to hang after his raid on Harper’s Ferry, John Brown prophesied that the crimes of a slave-holding land would be purged away only with blood. A study of omens, maledictions, and inspired invocations, The Oracle and the Curse examines how utterances such as Brown’s shaped American literature between the Revolution and the Civil War. In nineteenth-century criminal trials, judges played the role of law’s living oracles, but offenders were also given an opportunity to address the public. When the accused began to turn the tables on their judges, they did so not through rational arguments but by calling down a divine retribution. Widely circulated in newspapers and pamphlets, these curses appeared to channel an otherworldly power, condemning an unjust legal system and summoning readers to the side of righteousness. Exploring the modes of address that communicated the authority of law and the dictates of conscience in antebellum America’s court of public opinion, Caleb Smith offers a new poetics of justice which assesses the nonrational influence that these printed confessions, trial reports, and martyr narratives exerted on their first audiences. Smith shows how writers portrayed struggles for justice as clashes between human law and higher authority, giving voice to a moral protest that transformed American literature.

Cursed Are You!
Author: Anne Marie Kitz
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 1575068745
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 541
Book Description
This is a book about curses. It is not about curses as insults or offensive language but curses as petitions to the divine world to render judgment and execute harm on identified, hostile forces. In the ancient world, curses functioned in a way markedly different from our own, and it is into the world of the ancient Near East that we must go in order to appreciate the scope of their influence. For the ancient Near Easterners, curses had authentic meaning. Curses were part of their life and religion. They were not inherently magic or features of superstitions, nor were they mere curiosities or trifling antidotes. They were real and effective. They were employed proactively and reactively to manage life’s many vicissitudes and maintain social harmony. They were principally protective, but they were also the cause of misfortune, illness, depression, and anything else that undermined a comfortable, well-balanced life. Every member of society used them, from slave to king, from young to old, from men and women to the deities themselves. They crossed cultural lines and required little or no explanation, for curses were the source of great evil. In other words, curses were universal. Because curses were woven into the very fabric of every known ancient Near Eastern society, they emerge frequently and in a wide variety of venues. They appear on public and private display objects, on tomb stelae, tomb lintels, and sarcophagi, on ancient kudurrus and narûs. They are used in political, administrative, social, religious, and familial contexts. They are the subject of incantations. They are tools that exorcise demons and dispel disease; they ban, protect, and heal. This is the phenomenology of cursing in the ancient Near East, and this is what the present work explores.
