The discovery of witches matthew hopkins5/29/2023 ![]() Greedigut meant ‘glutton,’ and was the name English colonials used for the American anglerfish. Grizzle often described grey animals, and Grissel was a fairly popular name, an abbreviation of Grisilde. Today, we have largely accepted Grizzel Greedigut as a bizarre, nonsensical name, but it would not have been all that absurd at the time. But earlier publications show that this did not happen, and that Hopkins appropriated the name from the dubious confession of another woman, Joan Wallis. ![]() In Hopkins’ account, Clarke mentioned a familiar named Grizzel Greedigut. To this end, he greatly exaggerated the intensity of his first encounter with an accused witch, Elizabeth Clarke. Matthew Hopkins, England’s most notorious witch hunter, rested his reputation on his experience in confronting the supernatural.

Js mill on liberty5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() His Liberty Principle states that people should be free from restrictions as long as they are not harming others. John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) had such a principle. How much individual liberty should people have? Is there a general principle for how freedom should and should not be restricted? Some restrictions of freedom – such as laws against murder and assault – seem reasonable, while others may not. But we also have a large degree of freedom compared with people in other societies. People in liberal democracies have various restrictions on their freedom – there are laws against defamation and breaking contracts, for example.

Together we can encounter the grace that enters the middle of our stories, where living with suffering that lingers means receiving God's presence that lasts. ![]() ![]() We don't need to make suffering a before-and-after story. We are all mid-story in circumstances we did not choose, wondering when our hard things will end and where grace will come if they don't. ![]() If God loves us, why does he allow us to hurt? Through personal story and insights from neuroscience and theology, Ramsey invites us to let our tears become lenses of the wonder that before God ever rescues us, he stands in solidarity with us. When your prayers for healing haven't been answered, the fog of depression isn't lifting, your marriage is ending in divorce, or grief won't go away, it's easy to feel you've failed God and, worse, he's failed you. We silently, secretly wither under the pressure of living as though suffering is a predicament we can avoid or annihilate by working hard enough or having enough faith. ![]() When twilight burns by colleen gleason5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() That’s usually enough to give an idea as to whether they’ll like it. There aren’t necessarily direct analogues but when I pitch this series to my friends, I always frame it as Buffy in Regency England. As a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I do think the comparisons are accurate and apt. I’ve been a big fan of this series since the first book, The Rest Falls Away, which introduced Victoria Gardella, a Regency society miss who learns that she is the latest in a long line of vampire slayers. But I can only do that so many times before my eyes start crossing and fall out of my head. I’ve been struggling with it for days now, writing and rewriting and revising over and over again. This is such a difficult review for me to write. ![]() Readers who’ve been waiting for the entire series to come out before starting, tread carefully. Jia’s note: Because this is the fifth and final installment of the Gardella Vampire Chronicles, there’s really no way to avoid spoilers for the previous books in the series.

You wait patiently for your book to arrive but of course, your pre-order is late. So in the meantime, you re-read all of their books to feel the magic again.įINALLY, the magical release day is drawing near. Sad as it is, you understand because you WANT the author to take their time to write this perfect book. ![]() Then suddenly, the release date gets pushed back. You try to be patient but the need for another book by your favorite author is TOO GREAT! Then you wonder, “What if the new book isn’t as good as the previous ones!?” ![]() Your favorite author announces that they’re writing a new book. (I hope you find them QUITE appropriate.) Somehow this reminded me of The Princess Bride (well, a lot of things do), so without further ado, here is my interpretation of those stages as told by The Princess Bride gifs. But let’s be honest… we as book lovers go through quite the range of emotions while waiting for said book and while reading said book. It’s a precious thing when your favorite author announces that they’re writing a new book. ![]() ![]() He reinterprets many well-known archaeological and astronomical finds, such as the Ohio Serpent Mound, America’s Stonehenge in New Hampshire, and the Crespi Collection in Ecuador. He uncovers the real story of Columbus and his motives for coming to the Americas. He provides more than 300 photographs and drawings of sites, relics, and rock art, including Celtic and Norse runes in New England, Phoenician and Hebrew inscriptions in the Midwest, and ancient Shiva linga and Egyptian hieroglyphs in the West. ![]() Sharing his more than 25 years of research and travel to sites throughout North America, Carl Lehrburger employs epigraphy, archaeology, and archaeoastronomy to reveal extensive evidence for pre-Columbian explorers in ancient America.
