The Hammer of Witches

Abstract

In the book The Hammer of Witches, I extract some discussions on demons’ possession, which are transformations of animals, harmless conjuration, inhabitation with sorceresses, and reflect on connections of societies at present. As for the initial part, the author answers the doubt of knowledges men in transformation and relates a mysterious story with detailed explanations. I argue on the status of Canon, origins of imperfect animals, gender preference, and the bodily presence of angels. Then comes the discussion of locations of demons in human bodies, reasons for painless work and opinions of such work in order to fully illustrate an unpainful existence of demons. I demonstrate on the God’s permission of such misdeed, connections with illness, and pacts with demons. The ultimate part is about methods of possession and reasons for permission with a story about a certain Bohemian and his son. I elaborate on reasons of belief and intellectual abilities of demons.
