We don't need the Sadducismus Triumphatus:, Or, A Full And Plain Evidence, Concerning Witches And Apparitions. : In Two Parts. : The First Treating Of Their Possibility. : The Second Of Their Real Existence to find the occult this #WitchyWednesday, but we’re sure enjoying its company. This treatise on all things supernatural was first published in 1681 after the death of its author, the English writer, philosopher, and clergyman Joseph Glanvill (1636-1680). Our copy of the work is a fourth edition, published in 1726.

The book, whose subjects range from witches, the danger of those who expressed skepticism about witches, the physiological structures of the soul,  the Drummer of Tedworth (an early poltergeist tale), and other supernatural and occult phenomena was also one of the first works to document the use of witch bottles as counter-charms against evil magic. In later years, the work was referenced by H.P. Lovecraft in his 1923 short story “The Festival” as well as by Shirley Jackson in her 1949 book The Lottery and Other Stories.
