New Word: Demon  

[applecyder]

1. The Malleus Maleficarum was the first witchcraft treatise that played a major role in making the cumulative concept of witchcraft available to the public who believed that demons lurked everywhere.

2. This book on demons was the product of two Dominican priests who had been appointed as Inquisitors in southern Germany in 1474, and the Rhineland in 1470.

3. The Maleficus Maleficarum became the foremost authority on witches and demons that it was an essential witch-hunting tool in the Middle Ages.

4. The fact that this book on demonology was written by two priests makes me wonder whether those priests were the ones who saw demons, and not the innocent peasants the resulting work accused and put to the stake.

5. The Maleficus Maleficarum basically said that being a woman was a sin in itself because women were prone to weakness and actually wanted to serve the devil and his demons.

6. The Malleus relates this weakness not only to women’s intellectual inferiority and superstitiousness towards demons, but also to their sexual passion, and concludes that "all witchcraft comes from carnal lust, which is in women insatiable."

7. This same opinion is seen in other books of witchcraft, such as Norman Cohn’s Europe’s Inner Demons: An Enquiry Inspired by the Great Witchhunt (1975).
"The image of women as the more carnal and sexually indulgent members of the species was pervasive in medieval and early modern European culture; only in the eighteenth century did it begin to give way to the alternative depiction of her as sexually passive."

8. It is interesting to note that the notion of witchcraft as a form of heresy was utterly foreign to early medieval civilization since ritual or ceremonial magic,wherein the sorcerer was always male and he was the commander of demon, not servant, had nothing to do with witchcraft .

9. Ceremonial magic operated by conjuration, which worked by summoning a demon by name to either persuade or compel it to do work.

10. I know quite a bit more about demons than the average person because I wrote my undergraduate thesis on the fear of witchcraft in Germany in the 1500s.
