darkbooks.org began in early 2008 I am happy to donate my time to providing you this resource, I would also like to note, that, although I try, I do not always have enough time to deal with the site, including, unfortunately, I do not always have time to answer all letters, because I have to earn money for a living. If you can financially help me, it would free me from the worries of earning money for living, perhaps partially, but ideally completely, then all 100% of my time could be devoted to the site. Also I do pay monthly web server/files storage and hosting costs to keep this site on the air. Please consider making a donation to help me continue this activity and devote more time to it or at least offset the cost of paying for storage/hosting. Even a small contribution helps!

Workman remarked that even after the repeal of the witch laws in England in 1738, John Wesley was deploring in 1768 the loss of faith in witches, and in 1773 the divines of the presbytery of Scotland declared their belief in witchcraft. He concluded the paper with a very interesting point, viz. how important the early training of the individual is with regard to the mode and content of thought of the adult, including the delusions of the mentally ill indicating that the acceptance of an idea, for instance, of being "possessed", is one made possible by the type of early training.
