Cotton Mather chronicles the Salem witch trials which took place in
New England in the late 18th century. Together with the trials,
this book holds detailed accounts of devilish phenomena Mather
believed were linked to the discovery of the local witches. Mather
discusses a range of spiritual phenomena reported by various
figures in the fledgling society of New England. Sudden
apparitions, visions, and other strange goings on which she
believed were linked to the frequent finding of witches are
cataloged. The bulk of the text however is concerned with the
trials of many witches, the causes of their accusations, and the
circumstances under which they were tried. Mather's book is today
one of the best and most complete primary narratives of what came
to be known as the Salem witch trials; with accounts of witnesses,
judges, and evidence put forward all present. Furthermore, Mather's
book was published in 1693, shortly after the trials were
concluded.
Pagans recognize that the material world perceived with our five
senses is only part of the whole. There are unseen Otherworlds
overlapping our own, populated by gods and goddesses, nature
spirits, and elementals-the conscious embodiments of the natural
forces and energies responsible for the functioning of the
universe. For the Pagan, everything has a soul or spiritual
essence. This deck is based on the Pagan worldview, its symbols,
and teachings, and offers 78 beautiful cards featuring gods and
goddesses. An accompanying, easy-to-understand guide tells the
story of the Fool as he journeys through the Minor and Major
Arcanas, encountering the forces that shape him and each one of us.
The myths of the gods create links between cards, between the
Majors and Minors, and between the inner and outer paths we walk.
This Pagan system of divination can initiate you into the realities
of your own psyche and become your guide to spiritual
enlightenment.Includes cards and book.
