Book Description

The Devil's Dominion examines the use of folk magic by ordinary men and women in early New England. The book describes in vivid detail the magical techniques used by settlers and the assumptions which underlaid them. Godbeer argues that layfolk were generally far less consistent in their beliefs and actions than their ministers would have liked; even church members sometimes turned to magic. The Devil's Dominion reveals that the relationship between magical and religious belief was complex and ambivalent: some members of the community rejected magic altogether, but others did not. Godbeer argues that the controversy surrounding astrological prediction in early New England paralleled clerical condemnation of magical practice, and that the different perspectives on witchcraft engendered by magical tradition and Puritan doctrine often caused confusion and disagreement when New Englanders sought legal punishment of witches.

Book Description

The war that began at Emin-Tal has entered its second year. Morschen traitors openly serve The Kindler and others of the Seven Devils, unafraid of their former rulers. They hunt down any who would oppose The Kindler's new order. At the beginining of the New Deshik Wars, the Morschcoda swore an oath of unity, but they continue to mistrust each other. Guinira Estaleth, Queen of Deshik Anaria, has used Makret Druoth's considerable skill as a General to take advantage of their disunion to win countless victories over the rapidly diminishing Morschledu Remnant. Daken Calmi and Xari Gundara, the two Morschcoda most affected by the betrayals of so many Morschen, continue to push Daliana Marcarry for more drastic action against the Seven Devils, but they always fear that their small circle of leaders has been infiltrated. Their only hopes are the ghost of a man two years dead, and the man that killed him.

Book Description

Satan in America tells the story of America's complicated relationship with the devil. "New light" evangelists of the eighteenth century, enslaved African Americans, demagogic politicians, and modern American film-makers have used the devil to damn their enemies, explain the nature of evil and injustice, mount social crusades, construct a national identity, and express anxiety about matters as diverse as the threat of war to the dangers of deviant sexuality. The idea of the monstrous and the bizarre providing cultural metaphors that interact with historical change is not new. Poole takes a new tack by examining this idea in conjunction with the concerns of American religious history. The book shows that both the range and the scope of American religiousness made theological evil an especially potent symbol. Satan appears repeatedly on the political, religious, and cultural landscape of the United States, a shadow self to the sunny image of American progress and idealism.
