n. The ancient prototype and forerunner of political influence. It was however deemed less respectable and sometimes was punished by torture and death. Augustine Nicholas relates that a poor peasant who had been accused of sorcery was put to the torture to compel a confession. After enduring a few gentle agonies the suffering simpleton admitted his guilt but naively asked his tormentors if it were not possible to be a sorcerer without knowing it.
