The Possession of Barbe Hallay : Diabolical Arts and Daily Life in Early CanadaWhen strange signs appeared in the sky over Qubec during the autumn of 1660, people began to worry about evil forces in their midst. They feared that witches and magicians had arrived in the colony, and a teenaged servant named Barbe Hallay started to act as if she were possessed. The community tried to make sense of what was happening, and why. Priests and nuns performed rituals to drive the demons away, while the bishop and the governor argued about

When strange signs appeared in the sky over Qu�bec during the autumn of 1660, people began to worry about evil forces in their midst. They feared that witches and magicians had arrived in the colony, and a teenaged servant named Barbe Hallay started to act as if she were possessed. The community tried to make sense of what was happening, and why. Priests and nuns performed rituals to drive the demons away, while the bishop and the governor argued about how to investigate their suspicions of witchcraft. A local miller named Daniel Vuil, accused of using his knowledge of the dark arts to torment Hallay, was imprisoned and then executed. Stories of the demonic infestation circulated through the small settlement on the St Lawrence River for several years. In The Possession of Barbe Hallay Mairi Cowan revisits these stories to understand the everyday experiences and deep anxieties of people in New France. Her findings offer insight into beliefs about demonology and witchcraft, the limits of acceptable adolescent behaviour, the dissonance between a Catholic colony in theory and the church's wavering influence in practice, the contested authority accorded to women as healers, and the insecurities of the colonial project. As the people living through the events knew at the time, and as this study reveals, New France was in a precarious position. The Possession of Barbe Hallay is both a fascinating account of a case of demonic possession and an accessible introduction to social and religious history in early modern North America.

Great for sensitive skin !
Color: 25 Sun Protection Factor (SPF)
Love this product. My skin is so sensitive and I finally found something that works! I have acne prone oily skin so the light weight clean feel paired with or without makeup is perfect for me. 10/10 recommend.

Love the COOLA products. This lipscreen is great - glides on, not too thick, very smooth and feels good on your lips. And, my lips stayed burn free in the hot tropic sun. Would buy again!

Just get it
Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
A bit pricy but worth it. I hate sunscreen lip products. They taste terrible and are greasy. Unlike others this does not taste bad, goes on smooth, and has great sun protection. Great for vacation or anytime you’re outdoors.

Excellent protection, easy application, meh flavor
Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I would give this a 5 star for sun protection as I wore it for hours in full sun and in the water and did not get my usual lip soreness. It goes on easy but leaves an odd aftertaste which doesn't last long. I'd buy this again.

Great item! Feels super soft in the lips and not greasy! SPF 30 is great since my lips get sunburned easily. Will but again!
