In this original study of witchcraft, Gibson explores the stories told by and about witches and their 'victims' through trial records, early news books, pamphlets and fascinating personal accounts. The author discusses the issues surrounding the interpretation of original historical sources and demonstrates that their representations of witchcraft are far from straight forward or reliable. Innovative and thought-provoking, this book sheds new light on early modern people's responses to witches and on the sometimes bizarre flexibility of the human imagination.

This updated guide has been designed to offer practical advice to teachers as they take a closer look at learning in Scottish primary schools and the lower stages of secondary schools where the teachers are implementing a curriculum based on the 5-14 Guidelines. The guide describes three main sources of assessment information: information from day-to-day activities carried out by teachers as part of teaching; information from special tasks and tests used by teachers for specific purposes; and information obtained from taking a closer look at what pupils are learning, and the ways in which they are learning, to identify appropriate next steps. The first part of the guide introduces key ideas in diagnostic assessment. Parts 2 and 3 of the guide concern Reading and Writing. Chapter 2 (Taking a Closer Look at Learning to Read) looks at the teaching and assessment of reading in terms of the purpose for which that reading is undertaken. Chapter 3 (Diagnostic Procedures in Reading) considers what is involved in taking a closer look at pupils' reading. Chapter 4 (Promoting Success in Reading) suggests ways in which diagnostic procedures may be put into practice. Chapter 5 (Areas for Exploration) presents strategies which teachers can use to promote successful reading. Chapter 6 (Examples of Diagnostic Procedures) provides examples of the use of diagnostic procedures by teachers in a variety of aspects of classroom teaching. Chapter 7 (Taking a Closer Look at Learning to Write) highlights the ideas which underline the teaching and assessment of writing. Chapter 8 (Diagnostic Procedures in Writing) is concerned with what is involved in taking a closer look at pupils' writing and suggests ways in which evidence can be gathered and acted upon. Chapter 9 (Areas for Exploration) presents strategies which teachers can use to promote successful writing. (NKA)

Fifty-two the pages count in the devil's picture-book, thirteen signs within four suits of blood, knife, stone, and crook... Exploring the common playing card deck as a book of magic authored by Old Scratch himself and drawing on cartomantic and folk-magical texts from hundreds of years in the past, The Witch's Pack offers readers a concise, well-sourced, and practical guide to the witch's card-based arts. Innovative approaches to old traditions in this volume include unique spreads, such as "the witch's table," advanced reading techniques, and rarely detailed methods of cartomantic craft, including Leland's Aradian spirit conjuration, card-based sigilization and incantation formulae, and ritual card pairings for sabbats and seasons. In addition to a solid introduction to divination and magic using playing cards, this volume includes a brief essay exploring the inherent pairing structure in the trump sequence of the Marseille tarot. The sound approaches in The Witch's Pack seek to offer a corpus of transferable lessons that can be utilized with any playing card deck or old-style tarot deck alike, emphasizing skillful pattern discernment over keywords and memorization. From the Introduction: The slim volume you now hold in your hand is inspired by the tradition of chapbooks from the mid-1800s detailing cartomantic operations, including works such as Mother Bunch's Golden Fortune-Teller (1857), The New Fortune Book or Conjurer's Guide (1850), and The Spaewife or Universal Fortune-Teller (1827). In the age of these concise books, now long passed, the reader could explore a variety of cartomantic methods and rhyming mnemonics without spending a fortune. Their methods were simple and accessible to all, designed for use by common folk. Anyone could pick up a deck of cards and begin to explore the subtle arts of cartomancy. In the spirit of this tradition, this work is intended to be both concise and practical. Today, one can find any number of oracle decks in a variety of themes and art styles, so why should the modern witch bother to train in the discipline of old folk cartomancy? Put simply, folk cartomancy offers us a connection to our past and to arts that are skill-based rather than product-based, cunning rather than consumerist. By learning these methods and approaches, the witch can read with cards in a variety of styles, including the elusive tarot minors in unillustrated decks like the Marseille tarot. The history of folk cartomancy is old and rich indeed. In fact, evidence suggests the existence of diverse folk-magical practices involving cards long before the tarot rose to its now prominent position. Huson (2004) notes that La Spagna Istoriata, published in 1519, makes reference to making a circle and "throwing the cards." Pierre de l'Ancre (1622) notes the use of cards to forge pacts with devils. In Witchcraft and the Inquisition in Venice, 1550-1650, Martin (1989) describes alleged witches Angela and Isabella Bellochio, who supposedly used cards extensively in their rites. Leland's (1899) collection of Italian folklore published as Aradia: The Gospel of the Witches of Italy lists the ability to "divine by cards" as a gift given to those who follow the path of witchcraft. Unfortunately, the practitioners who belonged to these currents of cartomancy were not so fortunate as to bequeath their work in the form of a cohesive tradition. Instead, it is up to us to reconstruct their wisdom from the fragments we collect like jewels...

The Reading Context shows students how reading is a three-step process through a clear and easy-to-remember "prepare read respond" strategy. The book starts where developmental students need to start: with an explanation of the context created by author, work, and reader. It also stresses the importance of thinking about who the writer is, what the author's purpose is, what kind of work students are about to read, and what they expect to gain from it. Selections have been chosen to hold student interest while representing the kinds of material they will meet in their college assignments textbook material from geology to psychology, from advertising to history, from health to economics. Chapters are filled with short pieces for illustration and practice and conclude with two or three longer selections. In each chapter, clear explanations of strategies to improve reading are supported by many exercises. The text's eleven chapters form three sections. Chapters 1-4 comprise the "nuts and bolts" strategies for reading and introduce the idea of the reading context and active reading. In chapters 5-8, students examine an author's use of writing strategies as aids to comprehension and develop their own writing-to-learn strategies. Chapters 9-11 provide students with opportunities to read more widely: to study expressive and persuasive writing and explore a variety of works all designed to improve critical thinking skills.
