The Devil Mark And Witch Prickers Of Scotland

The Devil Mark And Witch Prickers Of Scotland Cover

Book: The Devil Mark And Witch Prickers Of Scotland by John Mcdonald

Search for the Devil's or witch's marks formed an important part of the examination of suspected witches in the 17th century. These skin marks were insensitive to piercing by a needle and did not bleed. Ideas about them varied between countries. In England and America, the mark was regarded as an extra nipple where the witch's familiar suckled1, similar to the concept that vampires gain control of their victims' souls by sucking their blood. In Scotland, the mark signified a covenant between the witch and the Devil. Bell2 wrote, 'Tis but rational to think that the devil, aping God, should imprint a sacrament of his covenant . . .'. The beliefs of Scottish legal authorities were influenced by Disquisitionum Magicarum by Martin del Rio, a Jesuit priest. New witches were believed to be given the marks by the Devil either individually or at a sabbat.

Devil's marks are described by several educated Scotsmen of the period-Reverend John Bell, minister of Gladsmuir; Reverend Robert Kirk, minister of Aberfoyle; and two eminent lawyers, Sir John Lauder of Fountainhall and Sir George Mackenzie.

Can I Be A Christian Or A Jew Or A Muslim Or Other Religious Affiliation And Still Be A Witch

Can I Be A Christian Or A Jew Or A Muslim Or Other Religious Affiliation And Still Be A Witch Cover Witchcraft is a religion all unto its own. Witchcraft is an Earth based religion. It is a re-linking with the life force of nature, both on this planet and in the stars and space beyond. Witches are women and men who gather on the new and full moons and at festival times to join energy and bring themselves in tune with these natural forces. They honor the old Goddesses and Gods, including the Triple Goddess of the Moon and the Horned God of the Sun and the spirits of the animals as visualizations of transcendent nature.
