| | curtana: The devil on a good day |
 | | Devil's Dyke: A deep gash in the north slopes of the Downs near Hove, East Sussex, is said to have been dug by the Devil, who wanted to let the sea through to drown low-lying villages with many churches. | | | History suggests that when Christianity attempted to convert the heathen folk, they "sweetened the pot" by inventing saints and angels which mapped to most of the gods they already worshipped, and holy days that corresponded to their existing pagan celebrations. | | | It is called the Devil's Knell, or more colourfully, The Old Lad's Passing Bell, because of the belief that the Devil died when Christ was born. |

| | The Devil |
| | Like the West African deities Ellegua and Legba, he could be met with at a crossroads, where he would make pacts -- but unlike these deities, he was described in folktales an unpredictable ally, and a rather dim-witted foe who was easily and humourously outwitted. | | | When Christianity overtook the native Teutonic religions, the Devil acquired some new attributes. | | | Among Americans of Anglo-Saxon heritage, he is sometimes said to have a wife who quarrels with him. |

| | Usually, the healer touched or rubbed the afflicted spot while uttering a secret verse or reading a passage from the Bible, and the afflicted person was cured. | | | The healer par excellence in the culture is the curandero, who receives power to heal as a sacred gift from God and is the sole source of treatment for brujería (witchcraft), though the local priest might also be consulted. | | | Texas-Mexican folk beliefs and practices constitute a coherent, logically consistent system in which theories of etiology and treatment correspond with social and religious beliefs. |

| | The bittersweet and often hilarious tales -- which range from longer narratives about God, the Devil, white folk, and mistaken identity to witty one-liners -- reveal attitudes about faith, love, family, slavery, race, and community. | | | For instance, to the story of a woman who promises the devil that she will break up a marriage in exchange for a pair of shoes, or how she gives reasons why God gave women keys to the bedroom, the kitchen, and the cradle. | | | I marveled at how she was able to use stories made famous by others in how they were reworked and related from a black point of view, giving them a special cross-cultural ring. |

| | Moral Panics |
| | Rather, as Furedi would suggest, it is up to those of us who express concern over the way so many people’s lives can be ‘blighted by the culture of hysteria’, to question at all times, those (in this instance the press) who would continue to sell the ‘you-are-at-risk philosophy’ (Furedi 1994: 6). | | | Often believing that existing remedies and measures are insufficient, these groups arise to ‘cope with the newly-existing threat’ (an example of which will be discussed further in relation to the paedophile moral panic). | | | And perhaps most importantly, rather than focus on the next potential threat, panic, or ‘folk devil’, we should instead strive to find an alternative vision of the world - one in which we seek out the best rather than the worst in human potential (Furedi 1994: 6). |
