While looking for Biblical verses pertaining to spiritual wolves I did run across this rather interesting writing from our history.

Maybe we can start with the proper way to torture the witch?

I have a question. It has a definite bearing on how I would view the said material.

Were women exclusively 'found' to be witches?

A: She turned me into a newt!...I got better.

The part about the "male member" is especially a howler; that people actually used to take this stuff seriously and today we have calls to return religion to schools makes me want to dump it all into the toilet and flush thrice, once for each godhead. A disgusting, shameful page in our history.

Actually no, but most were. There's a passage in the book about a witch who looked at the face of the inquisitor first and besmitten him into releasing all charges. From that day forth the inquisitor was to always have the first look. So much so that witches were lead into the chambers backwards.

It's a glorious read for any who love the study of history.

There is no doubt that certain witches can do marvellous things with regard to male organs, for this agrees with what has been seen and heard by many, and with the general account of what has been known concerning that member through the senses of sight and touch. And as to how this thing is possible, it is to be said that it can be done in two ways, either actually and in fact, as the first arguments have said, or through some prestige or glamour. But when it is performed by witches, it is only a matter of glamour; although it is no illusion in the opinion of the sufferer.

I'd like to 'suffer' at the hands of witches...my friend did a little 'suffering' with a couple of them, and I am extremely jealous.
