Excerpt from The History of the Devils of Loudun, Vol. 1: The Alleged Possession of the Ursuline Nuns, and the Trial and Execution of Urbain Grandier, Told by an Eye-Witness
This is not the place to enter more fully into this subject; but it may not be superfluous to remember that in every word there is a magical influence, and that each word is in itself the breath of the internal and moving spirit. A word oflove, of comfort, of promise, is able to strengthen the timid, the weak, or the physically ill; but words of hatred, censure, enmity, or menace, lower our confidence and self-reliance. How easily the worldling, who rejoices under good fortune, is cast down under adversity, and despair only enters where religion 15 not - where the mind has no inward and diw'ne comforterp\but there is, probably, no one who IS proof against curse or blessing.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a gripping historical account of alleged demonic possession within a 17th-century French convent. The author, an eyewitness to the events, meticulously chronicles the accusations of witchcraft against Urbain Grandier, the convent's curate, and the subsequent exorcisms performed on the nuns. Set against the backdrop of religious and political turmoil in France, the narrative explores the complexities of belief, superstition, and the struggle for power between the Catholic Church and those accused of heresy. The author's detailed descriptions of the exorcism rituals and the nuns' supposed torment offer a fascinating glimpse into the cultural anxieties and spiritual practices of the time. The book delves into the historical roots of magic, tracing its evolution from ancient Assyria and Persia to its intricate development in Egypt and Greece. The author examines how magic intertwines with astrology, religion, and the belief in supernatural forces, shedding light on the enduring human fascination with the unknown. By weaving together historical context, theological discussions, and firsthand observations, the book provides a thought-provoking exploration of faith, doubt, and the power dynamics at play during a time of intense religious persecution. Ultimately, the book's insights into the Loudun possessions challenge readers to consider the complex interplay between individual experiences, societal pressures, and the enduring quest to understand the mysteries of the human mind and spirit.
