	La Voisin
		Catherine Monvoisin, known as "La Voisin", a French sorceress whose maiden name was Catherine Deshayes, was one of the chief personages in the famous affaire des poisons, which disgraced the reign of Louis XIV.
		Her husband, Monvoisin, was an unsuccessful jeweller, and she practised chiromancy and face-reading to retrieve their fortunes.
		She gradually added the practice of witchcraft, in which she had the help of a renegade priest, Étienne Guibourg, whose part was the celebration of the "fl mass", an abominable parody in which the host was compounded of the blood of a little child mixed with horrible ingredients.
