Salem Witchcraft (Vol 1&2) - Including the History of the Conflicting Opinions on Witchcraft and Magic

Charles Wentworth Upham

Sinopse

In "Salem Witchcraft (Vol. 1&2)," Charles Wentworth Upham meticulously examines the infamous Salem witch trials of 1692, employing a narrative style that seamlessly intertwines historical analysis with vivid storytelling. Upham delves into the socio-political landscape of early New England, scrutinizing the interconnections between Puritan beliefs, societal fears, and the mechanisms of hysteria that led to the tragic persecution of supposed witches. With extensive archival research, Upham presents a detailed account of the events, profiles of key figures, and the legal proceedings that culminated in one of America's darkest chapters, thus contributing significantly to American historical literature of the mid-19th century. As a prominent historian and politician in 19th-century America, Upham's own upbringing in Puritan Massachusetts profoundly influenced his perspective on the witch trials. His engagement with the evolving moral and social implications of the trials, coupled with a commitment to uncovering the truth, reflect not only his scholarly rigor but also a deep empathy for the victims of these historical injustices. Upham's extensive research, bolstered by a keen analytical lens, offers modern readers insights into both the period and human nature. Recommended for historians, literature enthusiasts, and anyone captivated by the complexities of human behavior, "Salem Witchcraft" serves as an essential resource that enriches our understanding of this seminal event. Upham's work stands as a compelling exploration of fear, injustice, and the fragile nature of societal progress, prompting readers to reflect on the echoes of such historical events in contemporary discourse.

The Divine Pymander of Hermes...

Hermes Trimegistus

Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus is the founding stone of Western esotericism. Hermes is regarded as being the author of numerous philosophical and spiritual texts, including the Divine Pymander. Even though the historical existence of Hermes is not clear, he has been regarded as the master of wisdom and the initiator of the divine knowledge for centuries. The Divine Pymander is one of the ancient texts attributed to Hermes. The Divine Pymander explains a cosmology and philosophy which blends Egyptian, Greek, and Jewish mystical traditions. It is presented as a dialogue between Hermes and a student who is seeking the divine knowledge. Dialogue includes teachings on the nature of the universe, the soul, and the relationship between humanity and God. The most important central themes of the Divine Pymander is the thought that the cosmos is a manifestation of the divine mind. Furthermore, the human soul is explained as a reflection of this divine intelligence. Hermes tells us that the goal of spiritual practice is to awaken the divine spark within the soul and unite with the divine mind. Spiritual enlightenment includes the purification of the soul by contemplation, prayer and meditation. Hermes also highlights the importance of living a virtuous life, avoiding attachment to material things, cultivation of gratitude and reverence for the divine.
