Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'May they be cursed in town and cursed in the fields. May their barns be cursed and may their bones be cursed. May the fruit of their loins be cursed as well as the fruit of their lands.' French monks of the Middle Ages hurled curses like these at their enemies, seeking supernatural assistance when no secular judge could help them. In a long-awaited book written with elegance and erudition, Lester Little undertakes the first full-length study of these maledictions.... The book's focus is the way that religious communities—especially the monks who followed Benedict's Rule and hence were known by his name—used liturgical cursing to safeguard their integrity and their possessions, against both laymen and other ecclesiastics." —Journal of Social History

Download or read book The Oracle and the Curse written by Caleb Smith and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Condemned to hang after his raid on Harper’s Ferry, John Brown prophesied that the crimes of a slave-holding land would be purged away only with blood. A study of omens, maledictions, and inspired invocations, The Oracle and the Curse examines how utterances such as Brown’s shaped American literature between the Revolution and the Civil War. In nineteenth-century criminal trials, judges played the role of law’s living oracles, but offenders were also given an opportunity to address the public. When the accused began to turn the tables on their judges, they did so not through rational arguments but by calling down a divine retribution. Widely circulated in newspapers and pamphlets, these curses appeared to channel an otherworldly power, condemning an unjust legal system and summoning readers to the side of righteousness. Exploring the modes of address that communicated the authority of law and the dictates of conscience in antebellum America’s court of public opinion, Caleb Smith offers a new poetics of justice which assesses the nonrational influence that these printed confessions, trial reports, and martyr narratives exerted on their first audiences. Smith shows how writers portrayed struggles for justice as clashes between human law and higher authority, giving voice to a moral protest that transformed American literature.

Download or read book Manthi written by Tirupur S. GopalaKrishnan (GK) and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2023-01-21 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the contributions of others, I got the fortunate chance to translate the beautiful novel, Manthi, into English, which was a lovely experience. I was awestruck the whole time I was reading them. If there were nine planets in the astrological chart, we would have heard a lot more. This is all owing to one of Manthi's sub-planets, which I discovered thanks to an alternate approach taught by my astrological instructor. Salutations to my astrological father, who instilled in me the ability to think in this manner. Several real concepts are revealed in each of his works, not just in terms of astrology but also in terms of science, and this Manthi book is no exception. My mind was blown by how you employed science as if it were the greatest method to approach every situation. So far, more than 72 volumes have been authored by our revered Tirupur GK, who is creating history by achieving a milestone in the history of astrology. So far, he has more than 42,000 pupils studied astrology under his guidance. He has devoted more than three-quarters of his life to the study of astrology and other related subjects. Not just students from Tamil Nadu, but also students from other states. It's not only about Indian pupils. Our Tamil Nadu is proud of the fact that foreigners came to him to study astrology with him as well. I have no doubt that any book he produces will serve as a model for others in the area of astrology for many years to come. His writing style is quite exquisite, and he provides a straightforward practical explanation of the principles for using the sub-planets of Manthi, the horoscope, and Prasanam. I was astounded by his astrological knowledge, which I found to be extraordinary in the wide realm of astrology. He did an excellent job writing about the sub-planet Manthi. As a student at Tiruppur GK, I am also really happy with my accomplishments.

Download or read book Cursed Are You written by Anne Marie Kitz and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about curses. It is not about curses as insults or offensive language but curses as petitions to the divine world to render judgment and execute harm on identified, hostile forces. In the ancient world, curses functioned in a way markedly different from our own, and it is into the world of the ancient Near East that we must go in order to appreciate the scope of their influence. For the ancient Near Easterners, curses had authentic meaning. Curses were part of their life and religion. They were not inherently magic or features of superstitions, nor were they mere curiosities or trifling antidotes. They were real and effective. They were employed proactively and reactively to manage life’s many vicissitudes and maintain social harmony. They were principally protective, but they were also the cause of misfortune, illness, depression, and anything else that undermined a comfortable, well-balanced life. Every member of society used them, from slave to king, from young to old, from men and women to the deities themselves. They crossed cultural lines and required little or no explanation, for curses were the source of great evil. In other words, curses were universal. Because curses were woven into the very fabric of every known ancient Near Eastern society, they emerge frequently and in a wide variety of venues. They appear on public and private display objects, on tomb stelae, tomb lintels, and sarcophagi, on ancient kudurrus and narûs. They are used in political, administrative, social, religious, and familial contexts. They are the subject of incantations. They are tools that exorcise demons and dispel disease; they ban, protect, and heal. This is the phenomenology of cursing in the ancient Near East, and this is what the present work explores.
