Witchcraft of New England Explained by Modern Spiritualism
Allen Putnam’s 1880 book explains New England witchcraft through the lens of 19th-century Spiritualism.
Allen Putnam's 'Witchcraft of New England Explained by Modern Spiritualism,' published in 1880, examines the historical accounts of witchcraft in New England. Putnam interprets these events not as demonic possession or malevolent magic, but as phenomena understandable through the principles of Spiritualism. He argues that many alleged instances of witchcraft could be explained by spirit communication, psychic abilities, or misunderstood natural events. The book seeks to demystify the Salem witch trials and other related incidents, presenting them as manifestations of spiritual energies and human interaction with the unseen world. Putnam connects these historical occurrences to the burgeoning Spiritualist movement of his time, suggesting that a lack of understanding of these spiritual forces led to misinterpretations and accusations of witchcraft. The work encourages readers to reconsider historical narratives with a framework informed by Spiritualist philosophy.

Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. You can tell why this work has endured. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Great value for what you get.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Solid, if not essential.
Was skeptical at first. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
This exceeded my expectations. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Good, with the caveats above.
