Abstract:
Abstract This article enhances our understanding of the development and dynamism of early modern witch stereotypes by focusing on the stereotype of the witch-cleric, the Christian minister imagined by early modern people as working for the devil instead of God, baptizing people into witchcraft, working harmful magic and even officiating at witches’ gatherings. I show how this stereotype first developed in relation to Catholic clerics in demonology, print culture and witch-trials, then examine its emergence in relation to Protestant clerics in Germany and beyond, using case studies of pastors f

Abstract:
This essay examines from a historical perspective the long-standing reputation of Forres, Moray, for being a place of note for witches. Famous for being mentioned in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the site of his meeting with three witches is commemorated in a local landmark called Macbeth’s Hillock. A study of Shakespeare’s’ sources from ancient chronicles and an examination of early performances of the play suggest this meeting was not a historical event but the fruits of the Imagination of more than one playwright. Another local landmark called the Witches’ Stone is remembered as the final resting

Abstract:
In 1563, witchcraft was established as a secular crime in Scotland and it remained so until 1736. There were peaks and valleys in the cases that emerged, were prosecuted, were convicted, and where people were executed for the crime of witchcraft, although there was a decline in cases after 1662. The Scottish Enlightenment is characterized as a period of transition and epistemological challenge and it roughly coincides with this decline in Scottish witchcraft cases. This article looks at pamphlets published in the vernacular between 1697 and 1705, either within Scotland or elsewhere, that focus

Xiangxi Miao embroidery carries the Miao people's past memory and future vision and is also linked to the mysterious Xiangxi Miao witch culture inextricably. This paper analyses the relationship between the culture of myths and legends and the culture of gods and witches and their impacts on Miao embroidery. The culture of myths and legends is mainly reflected in the living of totem worship, the culture of gods and witches includes the worship of multiple gods and the flourishing of the Nuo ritual, which have engraved a special national mark on Xiangxi Miao embroidery.

Abstract:
Every society consists of two main parts: ingroup (“ours”) and outgroup (“other”). The values of these groups are different and it causes the antithesis exits between these groups. It can develop into the intolerance towards the opposite group. The ingroup has a tendency to overestimate itself while the outgroup is underestimated. Such situation has a tendency to instigate the formation of the stereotypes of the outgroup. Sometimes some qualities of outgroup can be related with crimes in the eyes of ingroup members. One can distinguish two main types of the outgroups in the society of Grand Du

Abstract:
The intention of this thesis is to identify and analyze the cat woman archetype as a contemporary extension of the transgressive witch archetype, which rampantly appears over the course of cinema history, working as a signifier of a patriarchal society's fear of autonomous and subversive women. The character of Catwoman is the ultimate representation for this archetype on grounds of her visibility, longevity, and ability to return again and again. More importantly, Catwoman and her sisterhood of cat women work against male creators as a means of female empowerment through trickery. Within this

The Amerasia case concerned the theft of classified U.S. federal government documents by government officials and left-wing critics of U.S. foreign policy. The case did not result in serious criminal penalties and the failure of the prosecution has never been adequately explained. There is some superficial validity to the contention that the case was legally weak to begin with, but it is important to situate the Amerasia case in the context of the debate over the direction of U.S. foreign policy in the transition from World War II to the Cold War.

Abstract:
The European Witch-Hunts reached their peak in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Betweeen 1590 and 1661, approximately 1500 women and men were accused of, and executed for, the crime of witchcraft in Scotland. England suffered the largest witch-hunt in its history during the Civil Wars of the 1640s, which produced the majority of the 500 women and men executed in England for witchcraft. Evidence indicates, however, that only three women were executed in Ireland between 1533 and 1670.
