Chapter VIII Witchcraft As Ma/Efice: Witchcraft Case Studies, the Third Phase of the Welsh Antidote to Witchcraft
251. Chapter VIII Witchcraft as Ma/efice: Witchcraft Case Studies, The Third Phase of The Welsh Antidote to Witchcraft. Witchcraft as rna/efice cases were concerned specifically with the practice of witchcraft, cases in which a woman was brought to court charged with being a witch, accused of practising rna/efice or premeditated harm. The woman was not bringing a slander case against another. She herself was being brought to court by others who were accusing her of being a witch. Witchcraft as rna/efice cases in early modem Wales were completely different from those witchcraft as words cases lodged in the Courts of Great Sessions, even though they were often in the same county, at a similar time and heard before the same justices of the peace. The main purpose of this chapter is to present case studies of witchcraft as ma/efice trials from the various court circuits in Wales. Witchcraft as rna/efice cases in Wales reflect the general type of early modern witchcraft cases found in other areas of Britain, Europe and America, those with which witchcraft historiography is largely concerned. The few Welsh cases are the only cases where a woman was being accused of witchcraft practices. Given the profound belief system surrounding witches and witchcraft in early modern Wales, the minute number of these cases raises some interesting historical questions about attitudes to witches and ways of dealing with witchcraft. The records of the Courts of Great Sessions1 for Wales contain very few witchcraft as rna/efice cases, sometimes only one per county. The actual number, however, does not detract from the importance of these cases in providing a greater understanding of witchcraft typology for early modern Wales.

Bridget Bishop: Convicted by Societal Norms
Bridget Bishop: Convicted by Societal Norms Alex Mei In the Salem witch trials of the 1690s, dozens of women were tried and convicted for witchcraft, a practice involving the supernatural and associated with the devil. Bridget Bishop was the first to be convicted, accused by more people than any other defendant. She was arrested on April 18, 1692, and nearly two months later was hanged for practicing witchcraft. During Bishop’s trial, the jury and the witnesses made many mistakes concerning her identity. The jury failed to recognize the difference between the witnesses’ testimonies about Bishop’s ghost and the actual Bishop herself. The witnesses also confused Bridget Bishop’s identity with that of another witchcraft defendant, Sarah Bishop. Proximately, these mistakes led to the jury’s conclusion that Bishop was, in fact, a witch. However, ultimately, Bishop was convicted because of the defined role women had to play in Salem’s Puritan society. All women had to take care of the household and family under the men’s complete authority, without any resistance. They had to be patient and submissive towards men in order to be socially accepted. Bishop, on the other hand, did not fit this accepted model for women. She, both literally and figuratively, displayed her independence as a woman. She often fought with her first husband, Thomas Oliver, literally defying a male figure and thus challenging both the rules of Puritan society and the laws of Salem County. Figuratively, Bishop also displayed her threatening female power. Prior to her trial, Bishop’s husband died, leaving her and her daughter in charge of his land and with a considerable amount of money.

V. B. PERLEY, Publisher 1911 OPYBIGHT, 1911 By M. V. B. PERLEY Saeem, Mass. nJtrt^ BOSTON 1911 NOTICE Greater Salem, the province of Governors Conant and Endicott, is visited by thousands of sojourners yearly. They come to study the Quakers and the witches, to picture the manses of the latter and the stately mansions of Salem's commercial kings, and breathe the salubrious air of "old gray ocean." The witchcraft "delusion" is generally the first topic of inquiry, and the earnest desire of those people with notebook in hand to aid the memory in chronicling answers, suggested this monograph and urged its publication. There is another cogent reason: the popular knowledge is circumscribed and even that needs correcting. This short history meets that earnest desire; it gives the origin, growth, and death of the hideous monster; it gives dates, courts, and names of places, jurors, witnesses, and those hanged; it names and explains certain "men and things" that are concomitant to the trials, with which the reader may not be conversant and which are necessary to the proper setting of the trials in one's mind; it compasses the salient features of witchcraft history, so that the story of the 1692 "delusion" may be garnered and entertainingly rehearsed.

The Crucible Character List John Proctor Elizabeth Proctor Abigail
The Crucible Character List John Proctor A farmer in Salem, Proctor serves as the voice of reason and justice in The Crucible. It is he who exposes the girls as frauds who are only pretending that there is witchcraft, and thus becomes the tragic hero of the tale. Proctor is a sharply intelligent man who can easily detect foolishness in others and expose it, but he questions his own moral sense. Because of his affair with Abigail Williams, Proctor questions whether or not he is a moral man, yet this past event is the only major flaw attributed to Proctor, who is in all other respects honorable and ethical. It is a sign of his morality that he does not feel himself adequate to place himself as a martyr for the cause of justice when he is given the choice to save himself at the end of the play. Elizabeth Proctor The wife of John Proctor, Elizabeth shares with John a similarly strict adherence to justice and moral principles She is a woman who has great confidence in her own morality and in the ability of a person to maintain a sense of righteousness, both internal and external, even when this principle conflicts with strict Christian doctrine. Although she is regarded as a woman of unimpeachable honesty, it is this reputation that causes her husband to be condemned when she lies about his affair with Abigail, thinking it will save him. However, Elizabeth can be a cold and demanding woman, whose chilly demeanor may have driven her husband to adultery and whose continual suspicions of her husband render their marriage tense.

Satan As Provacateur in Puritan Ministers' Writings, 1
“SO SATAN HATH HIS MYSTERIES TO BRING US TO ETERNAL RUINE:” SATAN AS PROVACATEUR IN PURITAN MINISTERS’ WRITINGS, 1662–1704 Michael Kneisel A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2014 Committee: Ruth Wallis Herndon, Advisor Bernard Rosenthal © 2014 Michael Kneisel All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ruth Wallis Herndon, Advisor Satan was a prominent figure in American Puritan theology in the late seventeenth century, and the witchcraft trials provide a unique opportunity to analyze how religious leaders thought about Satan. As I will show, Puritan ministers and lawmakers transformed the Devil into a character with increased power and agency during the period of the Sale Witch Trials. This transformation is revealed in the writings of these six Puritan ministers during the era of the witchcraft trials, when concerns about Satan’s activity reached fever pitch. The amorphous, undefined characterization of the Devil in the Bible allowed these ministers to perceive Satan in a variety of roles, including that of independent agent or provocateur. Much of the secondary material on the witch trials regards actual explanations about why they occurred and why they were so severe and numerous in Salem. This project diverges from existing scholarship in that I am not looking to explain about why the Salem witch trials they occurred or why they were so severe and numerous. My work moves in a different direction, examining how Puritan ministers thought about Satan as a critical element of the events. Focusing on their beliefs about Satan, his agency, and his potential power will give a new perspective on the events of the Salem Witch Trials, as well as on Puritan society in the late seventeenth century.

Echoes in the Forest
Echoes in the Forest While hiking through an ancient wood, we came upon a heap of stone and there beyond - a fading shape swallowed by the mossy loam. Here, we paused upon our journey to contemplate and rest, when the whispers of a haunting wind seemed to answer our inquest. There was a time – a distant time field and farm spread out before us, while a song of life and love and strife was sung in human chorus -- a song of children playing, of farmers in the field, of women in the kitchen -- a song thought not to yield. But t’ was a melody in passing now no children left to play and field returned to forest once the farmer went away. The winds of time blow ever softly as they carry off the chorus, leaving remnants of that distant time like Echoes in the Forest. DK Young Stratton Families Preface Like the farm in the verse, so went most of Stratton’s homesteads – abandoned to the forest – destined to fade away beneath the mossy loam. Of course, nature has not yet reconquered all of Stratton. While no true farms remain in this town and only a scant few landowners have held back forest from field, the population of the town has rebounded, but to the tune of another lifestyle – another time. The following pages address the majority of Stratton’s inhabitants from its beginnings to the early part of the twentieth century; also many of the more recent resident families are detailed, if they wished to be included here.

Coming to Terms with the Salem Witch Trials
Coming to Terms with the Salem Witch Trials JOHN M. MURRIN OR SEVERAL YEARS I have been approaching the Salem witch trials from two different directions.' Breaking out in F1692, they became the last major upheaval that afflicted the English Atlantic world between the third Anglo-Dutch War of 1672-74 and the 1690s. The Dutch reconquest of New York for fifteen months in 1673-74 reconfigured the politics ofthat colony and established patterns of partisanship that would prevail until after 1700. In 1675-76, King Philip's War devastated New Eng- land, generated massacres on both sides, and led to the enslave- ment of hundreds of Indians. While all of the New England gov- ernments survived the crisis intact and were finally able to win the war, it was only with significant support from the praying Indians, the Mohegans, and the Pequots. New England's victory inflicted civil war upon the Indians within the recognized boundaries of Plymouth, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. By contrast, when an Indian war erupted at almost the same time in 1.1 wish to thank the Erasmus Institute at the University of Notre Dame, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the American Antiquarian Society for their financial support in the academic year 2001-2.
