| Summary | "Le sabbat des sorciers" by Bourneville and E. Teinturier is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book explores the mystical and often feared practices surrounding witchcraft and the infamous witches' sabbat, where alleged practitioners convened with demons to carry out maleficium. It delves into the folklore and societal beliefs regarding witchcraft during a period marked by widespread superstition and persecution of supposed witches. The narrative details various methods witches supposedly used to travel to their sabbat gatherings, including possession by demons or riding various animals, such as goats and horses. It vividly describes the rituals that took place during these nocturnal meetings, where witches would dance, feast, and engage in depraved acts with demons. The text also discusses the pacts witches allegedly made with the devil, the ceremonies they performed, and the consequences they faced if they failed to adhere to the malevolent directives of their supernatural companions. Ultimately, the book serves as both an examination of witchcraft hysteria and a collection of eerie testimonies from those who claimed to have experienced these dark encounters.
