  • The Synagogue of Satan
    THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN BY MAXIMILIAN J. RUDWIN THE Synagogue of Satan is of greater antiquity and potency than the Church of God. The fear of a mahgn being was earher in operation and more powerful in its appeal among primitive peoples than the love of a benign being. Fear, it should be re- membered, was the first incentive of religious worship. Propitiation of harmful powers was the first phase of all sacrificial rites. This is perhaps the meaning of the old Gnostic tradition that when Solomon was summoned from his tomb and asked, "Who first named the name of God?" he answered, "The Devil." Furthermore, every religion that preceded Christianity was a form of devil-worship in the eyes of the new faith. The early Christians actually believed that all pagans were devil-worshippers inasmuch as all pagan gods were in Christian eyes disguised demons who caused themselves to be adored under different names in dif- ferent countries. It was believed that the spirits of hell took the form of idols, working through them, as St. Thomas Aquinas said, certain marvels w'hich excited the wonder and admiration of their worshippers (Siiinina theologica n.ii.94). This viewpoint was not confined to the Christians. It has ever been a custom among men to send to the Devil all who do not belong to their own particular caste, class or cult. Each nation or religion has always claimed the Deity for itself and assigned the Devil to other nations and religions. Zoroaster described alien M^orshippers as children of the Divas, which, in biblical parlance, is equivalent to sons of Belial.

  • Witch Hunting
    LE TAROT- ISTITUTO GRAF p resen t WITCH HUNTING C U R A T O R S FRANCO CARDINI - ANDREA VITALI GUGLIELMO INVERNIZZI - GIORDANO BERTI 1 HISTORICAL PRESENTATION “The sleep of reason produces monsters" this is the title of a work of the great Spanish painter Francisco Goya. He portrayed a man sleeping on a large stone, while around him there were all kinds of nightmares, who become living beings. With this allegory, Goya was referring to tragedies that involved Europe in his time, the end of the eighteenth century. But the same image can be the emblem of other tragedies closer to our days, nightmares born from intolerance, incomprehension of different people, from the illusion of intellectual, religious or racial superiority. The history of the witch hunting is an example of how an ancient nightmare is recurring over the centuries in different forms. In times of crisis, it is seeking a scapegoat for the evils that afflict society. So "the other", the incarnation of evil, must be isolated and eliminated. This irrational attitude common to primitive cultures to the so-called "civilization" modern and post-modern. The witch hunting was break out in different locations of Western Europe, between the Middle Ages and the Baroque age. The most affected areas were still dominated by particular cultures or on the border between nations in conflict for religious reasons or for political interests. Subtly, the rulers of this or that nation shake the specter of invisible and diabolical enemy to unleash fear and consequent reaction: the denunciation, persecution, extermination of witches.

  • Dwarf Conifers from Witches
    ARNOLDIA ’" A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR IBTFORMATIOB of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 27 JUNE 23, 1967 NUMBERS 4-5 DV~’ARF CONIFERS FROM 4~·ITCHES’-BROOMSS English term u~itches’-broom translates directly from the German word THE-t. Hexenbesen. Both parts of the German compound word are found in Eng- lish as hex, meaning to bewitch, and besom, a bundle of twigs (usually of birch) bound together to form the age-old do-it-yourself sweepmg implement still used by people in rural Europe. Plate VII shows a witches’-broom development com- monly found on highbush blueberry in New England. It bears a strong resem- blance to a broom. In this instance the thread-like mycelium of a rust fungus has invaded the stem and stimulated mass development of latent buds. It seems only natural that medieval Europeans would call these peculiar growths witches’-brooms, for they were accustomed to brooms made from bundles of twigs and were inclined to relate anything mysterious and unexplainable to witchcraft. Many superstitions were associated with witches’-brooms and they played an important part in medieval folklore. A library search by the author for mforma- tion in English folklore proved fruitless, but Dr. Richard S. Meriam, Professor Emeritus in the Harvard Business School, kindly volunteered to search the German literature at Harvard’s Widener Library and found the following. The German word Hexenbesen is now used to define only witches’-brooms and mistle- toe, but in the past it was applied to other woody growths as well. It was once one of several words used to describe such abnormalities-they were also called witches’-nests (Hexennester) mares’-nests (Mahrnester), and thunderbrooms (Don- nerbesen).
