520 | |a In Appalachia, there are certain Christian sects who handle venomous serpents in their church services. Although their serpent handling has received some attention, another of their practices, poison-drinking, has all but escaped the concern of investigators. Addressing this issue, this study included phenomenological interviews with seven believers who ingested strychnine at church. A hermeneutic analysis of their transcribed interviews discovered four major themes that emerged across all protocols to describe the structure of meaning in the experience of poison-drinking: (1) Desire to Drink; (2) "God Moving on Me" (in terms of Anointing and "Insurance" against Harm); (3) Already "Snake Bit"; and (4) "Victory"/"Devil Troubling My Mind". These interdependent themes are discussed in relation to the existential grounds of body, others, time, and world. | ||
