RENÉ GIRARD: THE SCAPEGOAT STUDY GUIDE, 2003 Steven Alan Samson CHAPTER ONE: GUILLAUME DE MACHAUT AND THE JEWS Study Questions 1. What are some of the catastrophic events Machaut describes? What led to the massacre of the Jews? How is the process of scapegoating described in a fable by Jean La Fontaine? [The tendency to euphemize an evil is similarly depicted in the Harry Potter stories, as, for example, with "He who must not be named"]. (1-3) 2. [SKIP] How does Machaut's account of the arrival of the plague illustrate the phenomenon of scapegoating? What makes Machaut's use of epydimie [epidemic] a "linguistic scapegoat" and how is its essential structure the same as a human sacrifice? Does he ever connect these events into a single entity? ["The Thirty Years War" and "The Hundred Years War" were, of course, not perceived as such at the time].

The Witching Hour by Francie Mcgowan
The Witching Hour By Francie McGowan Next week’s Halloween night, under a waxing crescent moon, is when, according to legend, the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest, and houls, goblins, witches and ghosts are on the prowl. In western tradition, the “witching hour” is between 3 and 4 am. This is when the evil demons of the night are at their most powerful. One of the most infamous of these evil spirits is the witch. The witch, as portrayed in lore and in literature, has been maligned by superstition and by writers - the most famous, of course, is Shakespeare. In “Macbeth,” Shakespeare’s witches (he calls them the weird sisters) make a potion for their evil deeds: Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. They go on to add all sorts of ghastly ingredients, including, “root of hemlock, digg’d i’ the dark,” and “Gall of goat, and slips of yew silver’d in the moon’s eclipse.” Shakespeare’s witches have beards and cackle, and pretty much resemble what has come down to us as the quintessential Halloween witch. Women in medieval times who were herbalists and healers, often were thought to be witches and up to no good. Their knowledge of chemistry and botany was threatening to the superstitious populace of the 12th and 13th centuries.

Download Enchantment Is All About Us for FREE
In Enchantment is All About Us Beatrice Walditchreveals that much of the what we often think of a real in the modern world is an enchantment woven by profit-driven businesses and nefarious politicians. Drawing upon a wide range of traditional worldviews, she sets out ways of mentally ‘banishing’ such pervasive enchantments and empowering the reader to create their own enchantments. Many of the suggestions develop and weave together ideas discussed in her previous books. Enchantment is All About Us is the fifth book in the Living in a Magical World series. These books will challenge you to recognisethe traditional magic still alive in modern society, and empower you with a variety of skills and insights.

Triple Witching Hour" on Stock Market Volatility
September 1988 The Effect of the "Triple Witching Hour" on Stock Market Volatility Steven P. Feinstein and William N. Goetzmann This paper investigates the "Triple Witching Hour"-the four times during the year when stock options, stock index options, and stock index futures simultaneously expire—to determine whether these periods are characterized by excessive volatility in the stock market. The term "triple witching hour" can conjure tively taking place at the open of trading on the up images of broomsticks and brew, perhaps expiration day instead of at the close. The the scene from Shakespeare's Macbeth in which impact of triple witching hours and expiration a trio of witches recite incantations around a days in general, though, extends far beyond the boiling cauldron. For stock traders, though, the matter of whether the pattern of stock trading is term represents something far more frighten- atypical on certain days of the year. Of interest ing.

Gyn/Ecology the Metaethics of Radical Feminism
GYN/ECOLOGY THE METAETHICS OF RADICAL FEMINISM MARY DALY Beacon Press : Boston : 1978 N.B. Transcript omits footnotes and citations. PREFACE This book voyages beyond Beyond God the Father. It is not that I basically disagree with the ideas expressed there. I am still its author, and thus the situation is not comparable to that of The Church and the Second Sex, whose (1968) author I regard as a reformist foresister, and whose work I respectfully refute in the New Feminist Postchristian Introduction to the 1975 edition. Going beyond Beyond God the Father involves two things. First, there is the fact that be-ing continues. Be-ing at home on the road means continuing to Journey. This book continues to Spin on, in other directions/dimensions. It focuses beyond christianity in Other ways. Second, there is some old semantic baggage to be discarded so that Journeyers will be unencumbered by malfunctioning (male-functioning) equipment. There are some words which appeared to be adequate in the early seventies, which feminists later discovered to be false words. Three such words in BGTF which I cannot use again are God, androgyny, and homosexuality. There is no way to remove male/masculine imagery from God. Thus, when writing/speaking “anthropomorphically” of ultimate reality, of the divine spark of be-ing, I now choose to write/speak gynomorphically. I do so because God represents the necrophilia of patriarchy, whereas Goddess affirms the life-loving be-ing of women and nature. The second semantic abomination, androgyny, is a confusing term which I sometimes used in attempting to describe integrity of be-ing.
