let me join to welcome you to the group ;)
Many thanks for the link. I'd like to recommend a book about this
subject, from Clarissa Pinkola Estés:
Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman
Archetype, (Ballantine 1992/ 1996)
These are very interesting, thanks. I've read a book (in french...) analysing the
Inquisition towards witches as a sexocide. In other words, after publishing a book called Malleus Maleficarum the Inquisition guys
were killing women because the latter were supposed to be in communion
with Satan. In fact, that treatement revealed the image of the woman at that periode: symbol of sexual frenesy, heretism and madness.
The christian religion associated the woman to a malefic position in
order to avoid the important role of the gender in the pre-christianic
societies. That implied that between 70 and 80% of the burnt people were women... Similarly to Eve in the Bible, the woman is supposed to be responsible for denaturating the mankind.
Ok, that summary is quite far from the initial subjet. Sorry... :/
have a good day,
Anne
