Cute. Don't forget the "R" part of David R. Jones and the "Scott" part of Jason D. Scott they brings to mind Reginald Scott and his "A Discoverie of Witchcraft," published in 1585. That Mr. Scott, a contemporary of John Dee, hated witchcraft as much as our Mr. Scott does, but for different reasons. Strangely, Scott's anti-witchcraft book was ordered to be burned by King James I of England, who wished thereby to refute Mr. Scott's beliefs, while averring his own hatred of witchcraft. You see, Mr. Scott was a rationalist skeptic debunker of the paranormal and claimed that witchcraft was all fraud (a Tom Schulerish stance), while King James believed fully in witchcraft's reality but despised what he perceived to be its inherent and intrinsic link to devil worship (a somewhat Jason Dean Scottish stance), to which point James wrote his own refutation of Scott's tome, called "Daemonologie." Meanwhile. John Dee, a Christian mage accused of conjuring devils through witchcraft, appealed to James for vindication of the charge, but was not granted such protection by the devil-obsessed king of England. 'Twas a regular newsgroup flame-fest of the 16th century. cat (you can't tell the players without a bibliography) yronwode Lucky W Amulet Archive -------- http://www.luckymojo.com/luckyw.html
