I have modernised some spelling, but otherwise this is a word-for-word account. According to Carmichael, “Fian confessed, that by his witchcraft he did bewitch a gentleman dwelling near to the Saltpans (Prestonpans), where the said doctor kept school, only for being enamoured of a gentlewoman whom he loved himself; by means of which his sorcery, witchcraft and devilish practises, he caused the said gentleman, that once in every 24 hours he fell into a lunacy and madness, and so continued one whole hour together: And for the verity of the same, he caused the gentleman to be brought before the king’s majesty which was upon the 23rd day of December last, and being in his majesty’s chamber, suddenly he gave a great screech and fell into madness, sometime bending himself, and sometime capering so directly up, that his head did touch the ceiling of the chamber, to the great admiration of his majesty and others then present; so that all the gentlemen in the chamber were not able to hold him, until they called in more help, who together bound him hand and foot; and suffering the said gentleman to lie still until his fury were past, he within an hour he came again to himself”. Then Fian gave the real reason for his witchcraft and it was nothing to do with sinking the king’s ships, but was actually about seducing that poor woman and making her other suitor mad.

Raised in a working-class family, Alex, as a young man, began working as a medium in the local Spiritualist Churches before going on to study and practise ceremonial magic. In 1963, he was initiated into Gardnerian Wicca before founding his own coven, through which he merged many aspects of ceremonial magic into Wicca. He claimed to have been initiated by his Welsh-speaking grandmother, Mary Bibby (née Roberts), [1] as a child, though recent research has disproven this, [1] with Bibby dying in 1907, some 19 years before Sanders' birth.

The Witch-king's death changed the tide of the battle, and ultimately the outcome of the war.
The Church Fathers and some modern Christian writers have debated the theological issues raised by this text, which would appear at first sight to affirm that it is possible (though forbidden) for humans to summon the spirits of the dead by magic. This was the first major witchcraft persecution in Scotland, and began with a sensational case involving the royal houses of Denmark-Norway and Scotland. King James VI sailed to Copenhagen to marry Anne of Denmark, sister of Christian IV of Denmark. During their return to Scotland they experienced terrible storms and had to shelter in Norway for several weeks before continuing. At this point, the interest in witch trials were revived in Denmark because of ongoing Trier witch trials in Germany, which were described and discussed in Denmark. [2] The first sighting of the Nazgûl in Middle-earth was reported in SA 2251. For the next 1200 years the greatest among them, known simply as the Lord of the Nazgûl, would serve Sauron as one of the commanders of his armies. He fought in the Age's climactic war against the Last Alliance of Elves and Men between SA 3434 and SA 3441, when the Dark Lord was eventually defeated and the One Ring taken from him. With Sauron's spirit and power dissipated, the nine Nazgûl were no longer able to maintain their physical presence and they too disappeared – at least temporarily – from Middle-earth. a b c d "A Talk by Maxine Sanders" part 2, Witchcraft and Wicca Issue 4, p. 4.

When the prophet Samuel dies, he is buried in Ramah (1 Sam 25:1; 28:3). Saul, the king of Israel, seeks advice from God in choosing a course of action against the assembled forces of the Philistine army. He receives no answer from dreams, prophets, or the Urim and Thummim. Having previously driven out all necromancers and magicians from Israel, Saul searches for a witch anonymously and is told one is living in the village of Endor. Saul disguises himself and crosses through enemy lines to visit her, asking her to raise Samuel. The woman at first refuses, on account of Saul's edict against sorcery, but Saul assures her that she will not be punished. [1] Nazgûl: Come not between the Nazgûl and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shriveled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye.
