He suggested, look into the mirror and fi nd what changes mightplacate the gods and make this journey a bit easier. But themirror was theirs, the gods of mediocrity and the status quo! Lokicertainly knew this was wrong. Loki, the god of change whocould wreak havoc, knew this would be a superfi cial ploy, atgreat cost. Thoth, the Ibis, the moon god, the tongue and speechof Ra would go dead silent in her. Although the path might besmoother, she would lose herself. They could never embrace herbut would struggle to catalogue her to support their falteringedifi ce. So she thought melancholic extraordinaire, confi ded inIbis of the crescent moon and believed suffering had meaning.With her Ibis guide, books and guitar, the music in her head,and the symphony of the spheres of the cosmos, she coveredher cowlicks with her hat, often looking back to fi nd the elusivemeaning to it all but never to placate the gods of mediocrityand the status quo. She was subversive in that way.Disclaimer: all animals, creatures and beings are metaphors, notreal entities. It would be hoped that none were harmed in thewriting of this statement but some may have been in the mixing.

The term trauma refers to a wound or rupture that disorients, causing suffering and fear. Trauma theory has been heavily shaped by responses to modern catastrophes, and as such trauma is often seen as inherently linked to modernity. Yet psychological and cultural trauma as a result of distressing or disturbing experiences is a human phenomenon that has been recorded across time and cultures.The long seventeenth century (1598–1715) has been described as a period of almost continuous warfare, and the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries saw the development of modern slavery, colonialism, and nationalism, and witnessed plagues, floods, and significant sociopolitical, economic, and religious transformation. In Early Modern Trauma editors Erin Peters and Cynthia Richards present a variety of ways early modern contemporaries understood and narrated their experiences. Studying accounts left by those who experienced extreme events increases our understanding of the contexts in which traumatic experiences have been constructed and interpreted over time and broadens our understanding of trauma theory beyond the contemporary Euro-American context while giving invaluable insights into some of the most pressing issues of today.
