Beschreibung

The Witchcraft Delusion in New England (Vol. 1-3) encapsulates the tumultuous period of the late 17th-century witch trials, offering a profound insight into the zeitgeist of a society grappling with fear, superstition, and the demand for moral clarity. This anthology meticulously curates a spectrum of narratives, narratives that oscillate from ardent religious fervor to burgeoning skepticism. The collection is a testament to the socio-religious pulse of early colonial America, where the tension between community cohesion and individual skepticism fostered a landscape ripe for the dramatic intersections of fear, faith, and reason. The duel narrative voices of Cotton Mather and Robert Calef represent divergent lenses through which the witchcraft trials were viewed, lending the anthology a contrasting yet complementary dialogue essential for understanding this historical epoch. Mather's firebrand religious texts are juxtaposed against Calef's rational critiques, embodying the conflict between unwavering faith and early Enlightenment thought. This collaboration aligns with the period's intense religious and intellectual currents, providing a balanced examination of the societal forces that sustained the witch trials. The fusion of their distinctive voices creates a rich tapestry that deepens our comprehension of this complex historical narrative. Recommended for scholars and inquisitive readers alike, The Witchcraft Delusion in New England offers an unparalleled opportunity to traverse the intricate dynamics of fear and belief that defined a pivotal era in American history. It invites an exploration into the contrasting ideologies and fervent debates of the time, serving as both a cautionary tale and an educational resource. This collection stands as a dialogue between fear and reason, encouraging readers to reflect on the enduring impact of these trials and the lessons they impart on contemporary discussions of faith, reason, and social justice.

    Explore the folklore of the trickster, villain, and rescuer known as Baba Yaga in a new light. “With Becoming Baba Yaga, Kris Spisak presents a robust work of scholarship. Baba Yaga is a wily shapeshifter, nearly impossible to pin down—but Spisak miraculously transforms alongside her, ever keeping up.” —from the foreword by GennaRose Nethercott, bestselling author of Thistlefoot   When darkness, fear, and instability inundate our daily lives, folktale figures like Baba Yaga speak to the dichotomy of our existence—the hope and the horror, the magic and the mundane. At once an old hag and an enchantress, a demon and wish granter, a feminist and nothing more than a fairytale, Baba Yaga is an endlessly complex folktale character.  Becoming Baba Yaga provides an in-depth look at the Baba Yaga mythos and history through Slavic folklore. Filled with historical and cultural context, analyses, and the stories themselves that add depth to the conversation. A comprehensive resource for anyone hoping to learn more about this ambiguous character and how her multifaceted presence still ripples through the present day, Becoming Baba Yaga is as thoughtful as it is illuminating.   Spisak explores Baba Yaga’s connection to nature as an Earth goddess and as an herbalist. She also delves into the Shadow Self and Baba Yaga’s aspect as a trickster and places her in a modern context as not merely a witch of the woods but also as an archetype and force for finding your own path. Becoming Baba Yaga shares how she is both a force for good as much as evil and a feminist before her time.
