Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. The animals were innocent. The accusations were human.The Devil's Animals explores the dark and fascinating history of the creatures that were blamed, feared, cursed, hunted, and imagined as servants of evil.Across centuries of European folklore, Christian demonology, witch trial records, bestiaries, sermons, legends, and superstition, certain animals became more than animals. Black cats became familiars. Goats became the face of the sabbath. Serpents became tempters. Wolves became devourers of the human world. Owls became birds of death. Toads, ravens, bats, black dogs, pigs, horses, and strange hybrid beasts were all drawn into a symbolic world where fear needed a body, and evil was given fur, feather, scale, horn, and claw.This book uncovers the real history behind those accusations.Inside, you will explore: Black cats and the witch's hearthGoats, horns, and the invention of the sabbath beastSerpents, dragons, and the old fear of forbidden knowledgeWolves, werewolves, and the devouring darkOwls, ravens, bats, toads, black dogs, pigs, horses, and the creatures of omen and accusationThe strange legal history of animal trialsThe role of bestiaries, sermons, witchcraft accusations, and folklore in shaping the Devil's animal kingdomHow ordinary animals became evidence in human stories of sin, danger, heresy, and supernatural fearThis is a history of superstition, but also a history of projection. The cat by the fire, the wolf beyond the village, the owl in the churchyard, and the serpent in the grass were not evil. They were living creatures forced into human systems of fear, theology, law, and imagination.Dark, strange, scholarly, and deeply atmospheric, The Devil's Animals is for readers of folklore, demonology, witchcraft history, animal symbolism, medieval superstition, occult history, and the hidden fears that shaped the old world.
