THE LAST WITCH OF LANGENBURG
Scrupulously scholarly but accessible study of how witchcraft was experienced in a 17th-century German village.
Robisheaux (History/Duke Univ.; Rural Society and the Search for Order in Early Modern Germany, 1989) employs the techniques of microhistory, delineating the multiple layers in everyday lives as he recreates the chilling “social drama” of a small community’s response to crisis. When new mother Anna Fessler suddenly took ill and died after eating her neighbor’s Shrove cake on February 20, 1672, the general outcry in the southwestern town of Hürden was that the miller’s wife, Anna Schmieg, had poisoned Fessler through witchcraft. Offering butter cakes to neighbors was a routine courtesy before Lent, yet the gruesome death of a seemingly healthy woman, coupled with Schmieg’s troublesome reputation among the villagers, created suspicions that prompted the involvement of the district of Langenburg’s court adviser, the local executioner and various university scholars, enlisted for their opinions on how to proceed. Schmieg was an outsider; she had moved into the district when she married the miller, and records show her frequently at odds with the neighbors. Known to be a drinker, she lost two of her many children in suspicious mill accidents and had a difficult relationship with her daughter Eva, who had delivered the cakes to Fessler. Indeed, the court adviser would exploit animus between mother and daughter to implicate Schmieg and generally wear her down over eight months of incarceration, interrogation and torture. She eventually confessed to 15 crimes. Although contemporary legal consultants argued that the case had been based on “conjecture and presumptions,” the Langenburg court saw Schmieg’s execution as necessary to restore the breach in public order. On November 8 she was torn with hot irons, then strangled with a rope; her body was “burned to ashes.” Robisheaux’s work offers a fascinating way of understanding witchcraft “at the level where real life was lived.”
Compelling social and legal history.

Reviews for "The Magic Makers Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager: A Must-Have for Busy Professionals"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Magic Makers Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager. At first glance, it seemed like a great product with its adjustable intensity levels and heating function. However, when I actually used it, I found the massage nodes to be too rough and uncomfortable on my neck and back. I also felt that the intensity levels were limited and didn't provide the deep relaxation I was hoping for. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this massager for those seeking a gentle and soothing massage.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - Unfortunately, the Magic Makers Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager did not live up to my expectations. It was uncomfortable to use, and the massage felt more like a painful poking than a soothing kneading. The heating function was also disappointing as it didn't provide sufficient warmth. Additionally, the massager was quite bulky and difficult to position properly on my neck and back. I ended up returning it and investing in a different brand that offered a much better massage experience.
3. Michael - 2/5 - I have to admit, I was initially excited about the Magic Makers Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager. However, after using it for a couple of weeks, I realized that it didn't provide the relief I was seeking. The massage nodes were too hard, and even on the lowest intensity setting, it felt too intense for my liking. The design of the massager also made it difficult to target specific areas on my neck and back. I ultimately decided to purchase a different brand that offered a more customizable and comfortable massage experience.
4. Emily - 2/5 - While the Magic Makers Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager had some promising features, such as the adjustable intensity levels and heating function, I found it to be quite uncomfortable to use. The massage nodes were too hard and didn't provide the desired level of relaxation. The straps were also flimsy and didn't hold the massager securely in place, making it difficult to enjoy a consistent and comfortable massage. Overall, I was disappointed with this product and would not recommend it to others.
