The EVILS of the Jersey Shore! "Exit 0" reviewed! (DVD / Breaking Glass Pictures)

The EVILS of the Jersey Shore! “Exit 0” reviewed! (DVD / Breaking Glass Pictures)

A young New York City couple drive down the Jersey Turnpike down to the Jersey Shore for a quaint getaway in the comforts of Cape May’s Doctor’s Inn Bed and Breakfast. With the hopes of rekindling the spark between them, the omission of the fast churning city living will surely become dampened by the island’s off-season quiet that’s more in sync with focusing on each other. However, after a…

Resources

It started with a tweet. I asked:

1 - Poets with MFAs & poetry professors: are there specific books (of poetry, on poetry) that you would recommend for writers who may not have access to formal education in poetry?

2- Poets without MFAs — please feel free to add books that have felt pivotal and educational for you in your process. I mean this primarily as a resource and did not mean to suggest that others may not have valuable texts to offer!

What other fandoms are you familiar enough with to use as an AU prompt? Pokemon Trainer AU? Homestuck AU (they'd still probably die but at least there are lots of ways to come back to life)?

I’m not that familiar with Homestuck, definitely not enough to do an AU. I read the novelizations of the Pokemon show as a kid but never saw the show or played any of the video games. I did play the super-obscure Pokemon board game, but most of my trading cards were printed in Japanese (I had a strange childhood), so my experience there is, uh, probably not quite overlapping with everyone else’s.

Anyway, if you want list of all my fandoms… Boy howdy. I don’t think I can come up with them all. However, I can list everything that comes to mind between now and ~20 minutes from now when I have to end my procrastination break and go back to dissertating. So here it is, below the cut:

Disclaimer 1: Like a lot of people who went to high school in the American South, my education in literature is pretty shamefully lacking in a lot of areas. (As in, during our African American History unit in ninth grade we read To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn… and that was it. As in, our twelfth-grade US History class, I shit you not, covered Gone With the Wind.) There were a lot of good teachers in with the *ahem* Less Woke ones (how I read Their Eyes Were Watching God and The Bluest Eye) and college definitely set me on the path to trying to find books written/published outside the WASP-ier parts of the U.S., but the overall list is still embarrassingly hegemonic.

Disclaimer 2: There are a crapton of errors — typos, misspelled names, misattributions, questionable genre classifications, etc. — in here. If you genuinely have no idea what a title is supposed to be, ask me. Otherwise, please don’t bother letting me know about my mistakes.

Disclaimer 3: I am not looking for recommendations. My Goodreads “To Read” list is already a good 700 items long, and people telling me “if you like X, then you’ll love Y!” genuinely stresses me the fuck out.

Disclaimer 4: There are no unproblematic faves on this list. I love Supernatural, and I know that Supernatural is hella misogynistic. On the flip side: I don’t love The Lord of the Rings at all, partially because LOTR is hella misogynistic, but I also don’t think that should stop anyone else from loving LOTR if they’re willing to love it and also acknowledge its flaws.

Nine Million Witches (long post)

The claim that nine million women died in the witch hunts is dead wrong.

It was, in fact, fabricated by a German man named Gottfried Christian Voigt (1740–1791). He is known as the source of the estimate of “nine million victims” in the European witch-hunts which became an influential popular myth in 20th century feminism and neopaganism. The history of this estimate was researched by Behringer (1998).

Voigt published it in a 1784 article, writing in the context of the Age of Enlightenment, wishing to emphasize the importance of education in rooting out superstition and a relapse into the witch-craze which had subsided less than a lifetime ago in his day. He was criticizing Voltaire’s estimate of “several hundred thousand” as too low.

Here’s the portion of Behringer that quotes what Voigt said.

“In Deutschland, Frankreich, Spanien, Italien und England, und überhaupt in dem Theile Europens, welcher seit dem Ausgang des 6. Jahrhunderts sich zur christlichen Religion bekannt hat, sind wenigstens 71 Millionen Einwohner anzunehmen. Wenn nun in einem so kleinen Bezirk Deutschlandes, welcher kaum 11 bis 12000 Menschen fasset, in einem Jahrhunderte auf 133 Personen als Hexen hingerichtet sind; so beträgt dieses in der ganzen christlichen Kirche auf jedes Jahrhundert 858.454, und auf den von mir bezeichneten Zeitraum von elf Jahrhunderten 9 Millionen vierhundert zwei und vierzigtausend neunhundert vier und neunzig Menschen.”

If your browser doesn’t translate from German, or you just don’t feel like reading through all of it, here is a translation:

“In Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and England, and at least in the part of Europe, which has become a Christian religion since the end of the sixth century, at least 71 million inhabitants are to be taken, Which is scarcely from 11 to 12,000 men, are executed as witches in a century, on the whole Christian Church, for every century 858,454, and on the period of eleven centuries which I have designated nine millions four hundred two-and-forty thousand nine hundred four-and-ninety people. ”

Behringer continues:

Even if Voigt’s number base and his speculations over the course of centuries had been constant witchcrafting across Europe - even in itself this high-rate calculation was wrong. For instead of 650 years ago, he had suddenly laid the foundation for eleven centuries, from the beginning of the seventh to the end of the seventeenth century, using the pontificate of Pope Gregory the Great (590-604), who had introduced the witch trials.

The bulk of the witch trials, by the way, happened in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Neither the trials nor the executions happened at a steady rate over eleven centuries. (Not that everyone who was tried was executed.) And Voigt…well, Behringer shows how Voigt arrived at the number of 9 million, and to be blunt, Voigt pulled the calculation out of his ass.

Voigt’s new model calculation worked in two steps. He first calculated the number of witches per century in Europe: 133 x 71,000,000 / 11,000 = 858,454.55. Multiplied by eleven for the alleged number of years of persecution, however, he would have come to the round figure of 9.443.000. Voigt, however, rounded off his number before and counted: 858.454 x 11 = 9. 442,994. For Quedlinburg residents, the total number of victims decreased accordingly, with 12,000 inhabitants, for example, 8,656,083 victims.

For Voigt’s number to have been correct, there would have had to have been 858,454 people executed for witchcraft in Europe every single century for eleven centuries, starting at the sixth century until the end of the witch craze in the seventeenth century. The records of witch trials don’t support these numbers.

So where did support for the nine million number come from? At first, nineteenth-century scholars, who ran across Voigt’s quote, accepted it as fact and repeated it. It’s worth mentioning that there was a STRONG anti-Catholic movement in Europe in the nineteenth century, especially in France and Germany, and that many Protestant polemicists of the time seem to have gravitated toward the quote as proof that papal infallibility, declared during the nineteenth century, was not true–and they increased the numbers accordingly, boosting the estimated numbers of death from 100,000 to “several hundred thousand” to “perhaps a million” to “several million.” Voigt’s oddly precise high number was a gift to the polemicists...even though serious scholars basically ignored it.

But even then the myth might have died out…if not for the Nazis.

In his book “The Myth of the Twentieth Century” published in 1930, Alfred Rosenberg (1893-1946), editor-in-chief of the Nazi party magazine “Volkischer Beobachter”, expressed the view that the witch-madness was due to the debt of the “rattled, desolate Rome” Papacy as successor to the Etruscan Haruspex.

:::

In addition to the racist ideologue, two other groupings were also interested in the theme of the European witchcraft prosecutions in the “Kirchenkampf” of the Nazi movement: Volkspolitik feminism and the Neo-Germanic movements of faith. Mathilde Ludendorff (1877-1966), beside her husband Erich Ludendorff (1865-1937) leader of a Neo-Pagan group [54] , devoted especially to the Hexenthema 1934 with editions of over a hundred thousand copies the pamphlet “Christian cruelty to German women”. In this context, the nine-million theory revived. “Christians” had, according to Ms. Ludendorff, taught the “witch-wits, raised witchcraft to religious duty, and encouraged this crime to women.”

Paganism--and discrediting the Catholic Church--were both huge deals in Nazi Germany, so that “nine million” number spread. And, y’know, that number didn’t just evaporate after the war.

Ursula von Mangoldt swaggered in her introduction to Gerald B. Gardner's book "origin and reality of the witches" of 1965 "Nine million" witches, a figure that is not found in Gardner's text itself. According to Rosenberg and Ludendorff, the translator is justified by the fact that the witches' persecution is the expression "of the struggle of the Christian church against old pagan customs[.]”

The Origin and Reality of the Witches is probably a translation of the German title of Gardner’s last book, The Meaning of Witchcraft (published in English in 1959), which does indeed deal with both.

Now, Gardner was a huge deal in pagan circles; many refer to him as the Father of Wicca. That number ending up in a book by him, even if it was written by the translator and not Gardner, would have been highly influential. And as witchcraft and the occult became more and more popular, non-German writers on pagan and occult subjects began increasing the number of executed witches as well. Sandro Stratta spoke vaguely of “millions of witches” dying. And, to quote Behringer again: And the English Esoteric historian Richard Cavendish said in his "History of Magic" without proof, "the victims of the witch persecutions may have numbered from 250,000 to a million."

Feminism in 1960s and 1970s America latched onto historical witches, identifying them as old-fashioned rebels who were punished for and died for being different. The problem started when--as usual--numbers started getting inflated...and when feminists started claiming that the execution of witches was a widespread persecution of all women.

Outside of professional historiography, a rapid increase in the number of victims has now occurred in the USA. "Millions", Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English in 1973, executed "Witches, Midwives and Nurses" in their small but influential booklet, a now classic publication of the new women's movement, which propagates the conspiracy theory that doctors wished to eliminate women from the health care with witchcraft , [76] One of the most influential products of academic feminism, "Gyn / Ecology" by the American religious philosophy philosopher Mary Daly, raises these figures to the centerpiece of her thesis of the oppressive character "patriarchy" [77]. In this context, in the 1970s, explicit comparisons of witchcraft with the Holocaust to the European Jews were made. Apart from Andrea Dworkin, Mary Daly especially wanted to surpass the genocide with a "gynozide"... [78]

Purkiss diagnosed a kind of competition with the result "that women would have suffered more than all victims of racism and genocide." The existence on the "burning" indicates the parallelization with the crematoria, if not on Hiroshima or Dresden. The message that the persecution of witches had actually been a prosecution of women, and that this had far exceeded the Holocaust quantitatively, was once again born at the interface between esoteric neo-paganism and feminism, where authors such as Miriam Simos (Starhawk) deny their livelihood with "magical" services. [80] As in the case of popular feminism, up to 13 million witches are given new superlatives here with sacrificial numbers, without the trace of a document[.]

By now, the “nine million witches” concept is ingrained in many minds as a fact...even though it was made up by Gottfried Voigt in the eighteenth century. It has been disproven for years. But those who believe it don’t bother to prove its truth; they take it as self-evident. Even worse, many believe that the LACK of evidence for this is proof not only of the deaths of nine million women, but also proof of a conspiracy to conceal those deaths, a conspiracy against all women.

This ignores the fact that men, too, were executed for witchcraft. But it makes those who believe the myth feel strong and brave, as if they are fighting against a huge and monolithic evil (in this case, the patriarchy). The same reason that the Nazis and the nineteenth-century polemicists liked the myth, in fact.

There’s not a lot of grandeur in the facts--that a large but unknown number of men and women were executed for witchcraft, particularly in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and particularly in Germany, and that a German man made up some numbers about how many had died in an attempt to convey how awful the witch trials were. We like to feel strong and powerful, the heroes of our own stories. The truth just says, “We believed something that wasn’t true. We goofed.”

Small wonder that the truth--that we don’t know how many people were executed as witches, but that there’s no documentation supporting the “nine million” allegation--hasn’t caught on. Given a choice between believing reality and believing a story that makes them feel powerful and important, people will almost always pick the story.
