ESOTERICA | Surviving the Salem Witch Trials | How a Puritan Book of Demonology Doomed a Community @TheEsotericaChannel | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
The Salem Witch Trials are the blockbuster event in colonial American demonology. In fact, they are so well covered that I'm not even sure they're esoterica at this point. However, a recent trip to Salem inspired me with two questions - (1). How did those at the ground zero of the diabolism outbreak - Abigail Williams, Betty Parris & Tituba - survive the panic and prosecutions? (2). What was the judicial theory and demonology behind the panic. Join me as I explore the fates of the first 'witches' of Salem and the Puritan demonological manual that doomed so many in 1692/3.
