About me: Jersey born, loudmouthed, gun touting, capitalist / godless wicked heathen, organ playing romantic (wink) who believes in rock and/or roll, self reliance and, consequently, has no time for your hippie bullshit. Qui Tacet Consentit.
Note: All of the music which appears here is tattooed on glorious vinyl. It has been plucked outta the garbage, mildewed basements, broiling attics, and assorted crawlspaces and has been uploaded free or charge for your listening pleasure (i.e. I play the part of the obsessive lunatic who never gets laid so you don’t have to.).
All music has been recorded with no noise reduction or variable EQ in an effort to preserve the imperfections associated w/ the medium as well as the ravages of time. No copyright/ownership is implied. If by chance you know of, or are yourself affiliated with any members/attractions included herein, then I (and the three people who read this dreck) would love to hear your story. If, consequently, you would like any materials removed, contact me and I will do so, but keep in mind that I reserve the right to call you a dick and out you on this blog. I aint makin’ any money (half of nothin’ is nothin’). Just relax.
"PERKINS, William (1555-1602) Discourse of the damned art of witchcraft In The Workes of that famous and worthy minister of Christ in the Universitie of Cambridge, Mr William Perkins. London : Printed at London by John Leggatt, printer to the University of Cambridge, 1616-1618.
Perkins was a prominent English demonologist and widely regarded Puritan preacher, who's Discourse was published posthumously in 1608. Like several other witch believers such as Henry More and Henry Hallywell, he was a fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge. A primary English authority on witchcraft, Perkins ignored the work of the European demonologists, basing his work almost exclusively on the Bible.
The book is divided into seven chapters covering true and false miracles, the league between Satan and a witch, divination, good witches, and the discovery and punishment of witches. It was influential throughout the 17th century because of its distinctions between false and uncertain signs of witchcraft, presumptions of guilt, and just and sufficient proofs."
