摘要

和不列颠群岛的许多地方一样，威尔士的超自然现象与地形有关。它的许多景观、特色、遗址和建筑都同样激发和吸引着超自然的力量。本文通过对位于Ceredigion或Cardiganshire的Pennant村的一座毁坏的小农舍的仔细考察，考虑了这种关系以及围绕威尔士超自然现象的历史和文化解释的问题。这是玛丽·戴维斯(约1817 - 1898)的家，或者玛丽·伯伦·比特——一个著名的女巫。本文将揭示威尔士巫术信仰的复杂性，不仅通过对Mari周围的历史证据的仔细分析，还通过对她被毁坏的小屋的物理遗迹的仔细分析，从而突出历史、遗产和考古学领域之间合作的潜力，以理解超自然信仰在我们的景观中的关键作用。

Welsh Witchcraft Revelations and Ruins: The Example of Mari Berllan Biter

abstract:The supernatural in Wales, as in many places across the British Isles, is very topographical. Much of its landscape, features, sites, and buildings inspires and attracts the supernatural in equal measure. This article considers this relationship and the issues surrounding the historical and cultural interpretation of the supernatural in Wales through a close examination of a small, ruined cottage in the village of Pennant in Ceredigion, or Cardiganshire. It was the home of Mary Davies (ca.1817–1898), or Mari Berllan Biter – a reputed witch. This article will reveal how the intricacies of witchcraft beliefs in Wales are revealed through a close analysis of not only the historical evidence surrounding Mari, but also the physical remnants of her ruined cottage, thus highlighting the potential for collaboration between the spheres of history, heritage, and archaeology in understanding the key role of supernatural beliefs on our landscape.

期刊介绍： Preternature provides an interdisciplinary, inclusive forum for the study of topics that stand in the liminal space between the known world and the inexplicable. The journal embraces a broad and dynamic definition of the preternatural that encompasses the weird and uncanny—magic, witchcraft, spiritualism, occultism, esotericism, demonology, monstrophy, and more, recognizing that the areas of magic, religion, and science are fluid and that their intersections should continue to be explored, contextualized, and challenged.
