    Bluebeard's Sacrificial Crimes

    Whenever Gilles left his house, he told his wife to stay out of the tower (Encyclopedia of Occultism;Parapsychology., N.D.). Once, when he left to go to the Holy Land on Easter Day in 1440, his wife and her sister both agreed that there had to be some other entrance to the tower (Encyclopedia of Occultism;Parapsychology., N.D.). The sisters found the entrance and on the first floor of the tower they found a satanic ritual area complete with an inverted cross and an altar with the Devil standing on it (Encyclopedia of Occultism;Parapsychology., N.D.). On the second floor of the tower the two sisters found an alchemy laboratory with furnaces, retorts, alembics, and charcoal (Encyclopedia of Occultism;Parapsychology., N.D.). The sister wanted to turn around and go back to the main portion of the castle but Gilles’ wife wanted to keep going so her sister came with (Encyclopedia of Occultism;Parapsychology., N.D.). On the third floor of the tower was a table in the middle of the room with a dead child and blackened blood everywhere in the room (Encyclopedia of Occultism;Parapsychology., N.D.). Madame de Rais tried to clean up the blood but she only smeared it and made it become a bright scarlet (Encyclopedia of Occultism;Parapsychology., N.D.). Around the walls were copper vessels filled with blood that had the dates of death marked down on…

    Witchcraft: Protestantism and Catholic Church

    The Catholic Church was steeped in traditional thinking in regards to religion as well as life. They felt that no one was above the church and that to say otherwise was blasphemy. It was for this view that the church stopped supporting humanism. They felt that it was putting too much emphasis on man and not enough on God. (Mark Kishlansky, 2008) The views of the Catholic Church became more radical as they began their witch hunt making it policy for the “rectors of the Church and those who communicate the people are enjoined to take the utmost care when they communicate women that the mouth shall be well open and the tongue thrust…

    The Rites to Allay the Dead Analysis

    In the poem “Rites to Allay the Dead,” by Amit Majmudar, it shows us conventional and unconventional images that are combined together providing examples to explain how this poem is for the living rather than the dead. The dominant images throughout the poem create an intense awareness with a key point to not let death remain near for it is hungry and will haunt us. There are many symbols in the poem to help us understand what the author is trying to convey, for example, the house in the first section and the death imagery in the second section. At first the reader is led to break down the daily mourning which the living are faced with when losing somebody. The line between the living and the dead is an important aspect that we need to accept for death will remain near if we do not.…

    Kingdom Of The Dead Analysis

    The nature of existence in the Kingdom of the Dead is dissimilar to the Christian ideal of heave; the Kingdom of the Dead is a dismal place to be. Odysseus describes them as “shambling, shiftless dead” (p. 251). Existing in the Kingdom of the Dead is not a pleasing affair. People exist in death exactly how they died; the “men of war” are still wearing the bloody armor they died in (p. 250). The dead seem to be able to remember who they are, but they are not able to speak until Odysseus allows them to touch or “approach” the blood Odysseus spilt from the sheep (p. 254). Once they do so, the dead can only speak the truth (p. 254). If Odysseus were to ignore them, they would fade away (p. 254). To reach the dead, Odysseus uses milk and honey,…

    The Crucifixion Analysis

    On May 8th, 1373, an anchoress named Julian of Norwich asked God for a sickness that would bring her close to death in order to gain a “more trew minde” of Christ’s crucifixion (Julian of Norwich 53). Through bodily visions of the Passion, Julian yearns to gain a better understanding of Christ’s “bodily peynes” and thus to “suffer with Him” (48-49, 50). In these visions, Julian witnesses several grotesque events during Christ’s crucifixion: the crown of thorns piercing Christ’s skin and causing him to bleed, the copious outpouring of Christ’s blood, and the bleeding, gaping wound on his side. While each of these scenes focus on the movement of blood out of Christ’s body, they also pay particular attention to the openings through which the blood…
