✦ A Call to the Kind-Hearted ✦
Since the dark moon of early 2008, darkbooks.org has endured as a sanctuary for those who seek forbidden knowledge and sacred fire. I give freely of my time to keep this library breathing — but time, like flame, is not without its fuel.
The keeping of this archive, the tending of the digital hearth, and the answering of messages from kindred spirits — all these I do between the labors of earthly survival. My days are divided between devotion and the demands of coin, for the mortal world does not pay in candles and dreams.
Should you find it within your heart to make a contribution, know that your gift lightens my burden and lengthens the hours I may spend among the tomes. Even the smallest coin, placed upon the altar of this work, helps keep the servers breathing and the gates open.
Let this work endure.
Let the library grow.
Let knowledge remain free as fire and as ancient as bone.
JOSEPH Workman, hardware merchant, newspaper writer, medical teacher, and the most influential psychiatrist of his day in Canada was so highly regarded by his medical contemporaries that he was elected President of The Canadian Medical Association in 1877, first President of the Ontario Medical Association in 1881, and first President of the Toronto Medical Society (the forerunner of the Toronto Academy of Medicine) in 1878.
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.
