After the ascension of James VI, now James I and VI, to the English throne, laws determining religious practices in Scotland became more resolute since Presbyterianism jeopardised the Crown’s supremacy. Presbyterian traditions were condemned, and their faith was persecuted. In this complicated political and religious context, rites and habits were modified and adapted to the dangers and condemnations of the time. Presbyterian women took their quills to shed light on the government’s actions and to share their personal experiences in this tormented Scotland. They describe their own spiritual developments and daily preoccupations, therefore showing the limits of the sacred and its inherent complementarity with the profane. In their diaries, those adherents explain their conflicts at home, in their parishes or in the army. Furthermore, they depict their singular practices and daily routines which display their miscellaneous political actions. Writing is no longer a mere pastime; it becomes a fully-fledged religious experience which directly binds them to their spiritual sovereign. Writing about the spiritual self underlines the place of terrestrial and ethereal love, fruits of a celestial mission. Thanks to logos, those women weave their own representations of the sacred and offer a unique perspective on lived religion. Those various experiences foster feelings and emotions which trouble the believers. Long descriptions of emotions inundate the personal narratives and replace lived experience and the body at the centre of female spirituality. Those Presbyterians are first and foremost women of the flesh who ‘live’ their faith. Their documents participate in the rewriting of the ‘Scottish canon[2]’ while emphasising their role and their place in Scottish history and in the Calvinist religion, which tend to be essentially focused on men.
