When the witches speak you better listen. Especially if you’re a philandering priest, impregnating the buxom duchess who you seduce during Latin lessons. The witches will shriek and scream, strike a pose and expose themselves to their exorcists and onlookers who come from all around to see the Devils of Loudun.
The witches will be unable to speak in foreign languages, levitate, or perform any outstanding supernatural feats. No matter, the priest must burn.
The chemise of the lead witch, splooged upon by the devil, is carried around like the dress of Clinton’s mistress, a relic of black magick.
The lead witch is marked with the names of holy saints on her hand, stigmata for the sheep, the priest must burn.
He had sex with a virgin. The inquisitors tie the priest up, insert wedges between his legs and hammer them home, breaking every bone. They shave his body clean of hair, including his eyebrows, they cover him with a smock soaked in sulfur, they parade him to the mound of faggots prepared for his burning.
The entire town and surrounding population is gathered to see the conflagration. The local economy is greatly stimulated. The priest is set upon an iron chair tied to a stake, the faggots set aflame, the inquisitors sprinkle holy water on the fire to bless the smoke of burning flesh.
The power of witches is undeniable.
A frightening read about the power of witches. The Devils of Loudun
Aldous Huxley includes interesting appendix on attempts by man to transcend with religious/politico gatherings, drugs, and alcohol.
Thanks to Arthur C. Clarke for recommending this book in The Fountains of Paradise
