Children of Lucifer tells the history of Satanism, from its earliest conception as polemical construct by the Christian Church to its eventual metamorphosis into an actual practiced religion. Linking church history, Romantic poetry, secularization and the French Revolution, the book's narrative provides a surprising shadow history of modern western civilization.

What was witchcraft? Were witches real? How should witches be identified? How should they be judged? Towards the end of the middle ages these were serious and important questions - and completely new. Between 1430 and 1500, a number of learned 'witch-

Stories of witchcraft and demonic possession from early modern England through the last official trials in colonial New England. Those possessed by the devil in early modern England usually exhibited a common set of symptoms: fits, vomiting, visions, contortions, speaking in tongues, and an antipathy to prayer. However, it was a matter of interpretation, and sometimes public opinion, if these symptoms were visited upon the victim, or if they came from within. Both early modern England and colonial New England had cases that blurred the line between witchcraft and demonic possession, most famously, the Salem witch trials. While historians acknowledge some similarities in witch trials between the two regions, such as the fact that an overwhelming majority of witches were women, the histories of these cases primarily focus on local contexts and specifics. In so doing, they overlook the ways in which manhood factored into possession and witchcraft cases. Vexed with Devils is a cultural history of witchcraft-possession phenomena that centers on the role of men and patriarchal power. Erika Gasser reveals that witchcraft trials had as much to do with who had power in the community, to impose judgement or to subvert order, as they did with religious belief. She argues that the gendered dynamics of possession and witchcraft demonstrated that contested meanings of manhood played a critical role in the struggle to maintain authority. While all men were not capable of accessing power in the same ways, many of the people involved—those who acted as if they were possessed, men accused of being witches, and men who wrote possession propaganda—invoked manhood as they struggled to advocate for themselves during these perilous times. Gasser ultimately concludes that the decline of possession and witchcraft cases was not merely a product of change over time, but rather an indication of the ways in which patriarchal power endured throughout and beyond the colonial period. Vexed with Devils reexamines an unnerving time and offers a surprising new perspective on our own, using stories and voices which emerge from the records in ways that continue to fascinate and unsettle us.

Witches of the North. Scotland and Finnmark is a comparative study of witchcraft persecution in Scotland and Finnmark, Norway. A wide range of quantitative and qualitative analyses based mainly on legal documents shed light on the witch-hunts in the two regions during the seventeenth century. Statistical analyses give information about tendencies in the source material in total. The qualitative chapters contain close-readings of trial documents, wherein the various voices heard during a trial are analysed: the voice of the scribe, the voice of the law, the voice of the accused person and the voices of the witnesses. The analyses combined provide a broad view of the historical phenomenon in question as well as in-depth studies of individual witchcraft cases.

Les tentatives contemporaines de reconstitution des identités perdues ou de plus en plus problématiques sont des processus qui relèvent pour une part importante des religions. La reconquête - voire la révolte - identitaire et la recherche du sens s'effectuent aujourd'hui dans deux directions principales. L'une, à partir de ce que le groupe capte par ses antennes, qui sont en situation d'interaction planétaire. L'autre, par ce qu'il radicalise à partir de sa mémoire collective et de ses racines. Les religions contemporaines produisent, par syncrétisme, de l'inédit et font réapparaître des formes de spiritualité que l'on croyait abandonnées et surtout qui ne sont plus l'œuvre des grandes institutions ecclésiales. Ce premier volume du Défi magique - défi qui se présente aujourd'hui comme une insurrection néoromantique contre les ruptures et les dualismes de la modernité - étudie un certain nombre de ces courants de pensée et de ces mouvements : le développement de l'ésotérisme et de l'occultisme en Europe et aux Etats-Unis ; l'évolution du spiritisme en France et au Brésil ; la constitution de certaines spécificités nationales en Russie, aux Pays-Bas, en Israël ; la formation et la diffusion de la nébuleuse du “Nouvel Age”.

Precies in het begin van de moderne tijden, toen Europa de wereld koloniseerde en de wetenschappelijke kennis en vooruitgang in een stroomversnelling kwam, geraakte het Westen -paradoxaal genoeg- in de ban van de heksenwaan. Met de Heksenhamer -een handleiding voor heksenprocessen- in de aanslag werden in de 16e en 17e eeuw zogenaamde heksen, meestal vrouwen, op meedogenloze wijze en in grote getale terechtgesteld. De auteur schetst in het boek een beeld van de heksenvervolging op het territorium van (het toenmalige) Vlaanderen. Hij gaat na waar en hoe de terechtstellingen plaatsvonden, wie de slachtoffers en wie de daders waren, en welke motieven hebben meegespeeld bij het ontstaan van de heksenvervolgingen. Uit het verzamelde feitenmateriaal blijkt eens te meer dat ook in Vlaanderen veel meer vrouwen dan mannen het slachtoffer werden van de vervolgingen. De auteur belicht de misogyne en agressief antifeministische traditie die deze repressie ten aanzien van vrouwelijke heksen kan verklaren.
