DR. APPLES’ LEGEND STATES his mother was taken from him and replaced with a doll on a pink pillow. Every year, he is presented a doll similar to the likings of his mother. This is the first doll he received. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the disappearance of his mother.
13. READY FOR THE WITCH HUNT
FOR MANY, 17th-century Salem, Mass., is the origin story for our modern definition of witch hunting. The hysteria-fed execution of 14 women and six men for witchcraft in the Puritan colony was a ready-made metaphor for any unforgiving, evidence-scant campaign against a group of people with unpopular views.
But the literal practice of witch hunting was not a made-in-America phenomenon. Historians trace the persecution of those suspected of black magic, heresies and other deviations to at least as early as Exodus 22:18 (roughly, “You will not allow a witch to live”) and other Hebrew scriptural invocations against witchcraft, according to material compiled by feminist historian Jone Johnson Lewis.
Prohibitions on fortunetelling and other supernatural sins made it into various Christian canons. Campaigns against witches rose and waned, often in keeping with the fortunes of the Catholic Church. In 1317, a German bishop was executed for using sorcery in an assassination attempt against a pope, Lewis found, and in 1484 Pope Innocent VIII authorized monks to investigate suspected witches. “In the real witch trials, it was about 75 percent charges of witchcraft made against women,” said Lewis. “How interesting that this time around it’s being resurrected to accuse women who are accusing men.”
The peak of the hysteria was in the late 1500s to the mid-1600s. The Salem trials occurred in 1692, just as official witchcraft acts were being phased out in Europe. A Tennessee man was prosecuted for witchcraft in 1833, the same year Tennessean Andrew Jackson was sworn in for his second term as president. [8]
THIS VERSION OF HIS MOTHER is all suited up for her usual rituals in the woods. This time it’s different. She feels a threat around her and although those opposing energies got a few of her fellow sisters, they will not get her. She’s ready for battle. The smirk means she means business. She is a doll for doll collectors.
