Liverpool University Press Invoking the Akelarre: Voices of the Accused in
Book SynopsisWith their dramatic descriptions of black masses and cannibalistic feasts, the records generated by the Basque witch-craze of 160914 provide us with arguably the most demonologically-stereotypical accounts of the witches sabbath or akelarre to have emerged from early modern Europe. While the trials have attracted scholarly attention, the most substantial monograph on the subject was written nearly forty years ago and most works have focused on the ways in which interrogators shaped the pattern of prosecutions and the testimonies of defendants. Invoking the Akelarre diverts from this norm by employing more recent historiographical paradigms to analyze the contributions of the accused. Through interdisciplinary analyses of both French- and Spanish-Basque records, it argues that suspects were not passive recipients of elite demonological stereotypes but animated these received templates with their own belief and experience, from the dark exoticism of magical conjuration, liturgical cursing and theatrical misrule to the sharp pragmatism of domestic medical practice and everyday religious observance. In highlighting the range of raw materials available to the suspects, the book helps us to understand how the fiction of the witches sabbath emerged to such prominence in contemporary mentalities, whilst also restoring some agency to the defendants and nuancing the historical thesis that stereotypical content points to interrogatorial opinion and folkloric content to the voices of the accused. In its local context, this study provides an intimate portrait of peasant communities as they flourished in the Basque region in this period and leaves us with the irony that Europes most sensationally-demonological accounts of the witches sabbath may have evolved out of a particularly ardent commitment, on the part of ordinary Basques, to the social and devotional structures of popular Catholicism.

Parte grimorio y parte formulario de hierbas, este Herbolario de la Senda de los Venenos comparte historias, conocimientos e información antes ocultos sobre el uso de plantas venenosas, psicotrópicas y mágicas. Coby Michael explica cómo, a pesar de su naturaleza venenosa, las hierbas nocivas pueden convertirse en poderosas aliadas botánicas, al ofrecer medicina potente, sabiduría mágica y acceso al reino de los espíritus. Al detallar las asociaciones espirituales, alquímicas, astrológicas y simbólicas de cada planta, el autor explora sus usos mágicos en hechizos y rituales.

Taylor & Francis Alchemy and Psychotherapy
Book SynopsisAlchemical symbols are part of popular culture, most recently popularised in the Harry Potter books. Alchemy intrigued Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology. It inspired him as he wrote the Red Book' - the journal of his voyage of internal discovery. He devoted much of his life to it, using alchemical symbols as metaphors for unconscious processes. Alchemy and Psychotherapy explores the issue of alchemy in the consulting room and its application to social and political issues. This book argues against the dominant discourse in contemporary psychotherapy - scientific materialism - and for the discovery of spiritual meaning. Alchemy and Psychotherapy has four main sections:Alchemy and meaning' - looks at the history of alchemy, particularly the symbol of the coniunctio - sacred marriage - a metaphor for the therapeutic relationship. ''The symbolic attitude' - explores working with dreams, fairytales, astrology and the body: each of wTrade Review"A unique, coherent and multi-faceted volume. For those who find the Jungian use of alchemy bewildering, the book brings clarity and much-needed explanation. For those already into alchemy, the sheer range of topics covered and the vigour of the writing – from philosophy of science to religious experience to clinical practice – will make for an indispensable resource. Now that the intellectual and cultural climate in the West demonstrates the shifting, relative and mutable nature of things like science, bodies, sexualities, health and illness, we are justified in asking, together with these authors: Why does anyone need to be afraid of alchemy?" - Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of EssexTable of ContentsBeebe, Foreword.

Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc The Untamed Witch
Book SynopsisPersonalized magick is the most powerful magick. The Untamed Witch empowers you to use your own instincts, intuition, and personal environment in your witchcraft. Witchcraft is not one defined, arbitrary path. Rather, it is a diversity of practices that you can curate and align with based on your lifestyle and unique gifts. Moreover, those practices are not meant to be done the same way by every witch. Someone else’s love spell is how they conjure love. Why use lavender in a ritual if it isn’t native to your surroundings or you simply don’t like it? This guide gives you the insight and tools to undomesticate your craft from formulaic—to inspired—practice. The Untamed Witch also outlines: Tools and practices to access the subconscious How to work with the life, death, rebirth cycle How to use elemental and land witchcraft Ancestry work and communicating wiTrade Review"This handy introduction to witchcraft by witch Pradas (The Complete Grimoire) explores how practitioners can personalize their craft.
