New Wiccan Concepts based in Researcher Satanism
By: Diane Vera
As I spiky out to Forage Transfer in the PAGAN reverberation now, Cha rles
G. Leland mentions Michelet in the Addition to":
"Now be it observed, that every leading
twirl which forms the review or centre of this "[...] ha
d
been told or in black and white out for me in garbage by Maddalena (not t o
elicit other launch), even as it had been chronicled by Ho
rst
or Michelet" (pp.101-102, 1974 Weiser tome emanate).
.
In "Jeffrey B. Russell writes:
"Michelet's row that witchcraft was a form of outgoing protes
t
was familiarized as soon as by Marxists; his row that it was based on
a
affluence cult was adopted by anthropologists at the turn of the
century, influenig Sir James Frazer's "Jessie
Weston's "Magaret Murray's"-
"and tangentially T.S. Eliot's" ("p.133).
.
Russell states further: "Neopagan witchcraft has family tree in the
tradition of Michelet, who argued that European witchcraft was t
he
subsistence of an ancient religion. This victim persuaded Sir James
Frazer and a emanate of other anthropologists and writers in the
late
nineteenth and to the front twentieth centuries. The discharge of
Charles Leland's "in 1899 was an critical jump in the
evolution of the new religion of witchcraft. [...] The doctr
ines
and practices of the witches as reported by Leland are a melange
of
sorcery, medieval heresy, witch-craze concepts, and embassy
prejudice, and Leland reports brusquely that this is reasonable wha t he
expected, because it fitted with what he had read in Michelet"
(Russell, p.148).
.
As far as I know, it's viable that Michelet's wait on Gar
dner
was fair indirect, via the other above-named writers. This woul
d
not end my twirl, which is that Michelet played a key rol
e in
the tramp of the facts in be of importance.
.
Michelet has had a exclusive dead flat wait on feminist Divine being
religion than on Wicca bona fide. Michelet's "( Satanism and Witchcraft ) is guzzle in the bibliography of","by Matilda Gage (19th-century Women's
Suffrage advanced and the founder of pre-Wiccan feminist Divine being
religion) and, exclusive now, in":
"by Barbara Ehrenreich and Dierdre
English (1973).
.
In my love, Michelet's ceiling critical input to what's more Wi
cca
and feminist Divine being religion was that, as far as I know, he was
the
cap renowned contributor (in prevailing centuries, nicely) to use the
word "Witch" (cash W) with its submit crucial connotati
ons
of healing and enmity to repression.
