	THE WEEKLY SABBATH: SATURDAY OR SUNDAY?
		For example, if a foreigner were caught collecting firewood on the Sabbath in order to keep his family from extreme discomfort due to cold weather, he would be tried and probably executed if found guilty.
		With all of these references to the observance of the Saturday Sabbath found in the history of the Jewish people, the life of Christ, and the practices of disciples and other followers of Christ, one would naturally assume that Christian churches would have continued with the Jewish Sabbath.
		Sabbath observance was noted in Wales as late as 1115 CE.

	Sabbath (witchcraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Christian folklore, the Sabbath (also known as "Witch's Sabbath") was a gathering supposed to have been celebrated by Satanists, witches and warlocks to honor the Devil, offend God, Jesus, the sacraments, the cross, and perform unholy rites.
		It was believed that the Sabbath commenced at midnight and ended at dawn, beginning with a procession, continuing with a banquet, then a Black Mass, and culminating with an orgy in which non-marital or sexual intercourse with demons in male or female form was practised.
		It is thus possible that the Sabbath gatherings were largely a myth — a convenient excuse to condemn heretics or anyone who, for one reason or another, fell in the disfavor of the ruling authorities.

		This intrusion of the incubus in the domain of witchcraft was probably due to the attitude of the church towards magic.
		In the first half of this second period, witchcraft was still superstition for the canon law, a civil wrong for the secular law; later, although these ideas still persisted, all magic was held to be heresy; its reality and heretical nature was expressly maintained by Thomas Aquinas.

	Witchcraft - Summary
		Witchcraft was, in fact, a form of guarantee for democratic conditions and equality, since fear of witchcraft served as a protection from injury.
		Malevolent witchcraft which ended before the district court was usually brought about by a man, and we may therefore take it that during the wars of the century's first decades the spread of accusations of witchcraft was prevented by war itself.
		Magic became a worse threat than witchcraft to public authority because, although many of the latter's representatives feared illnesses and injuries to cattle caused by witches, there was no threat from witchcraft to the growing strength of the administrative machinery.

		The Sabbath was a ritual mockery of the Mass.
		My guess is that witchcraft and sorcery were for the most part brewed in the cauldron of sexual repression and served up as a justification for the public trading in art and literature, if not in life, of Church-created, sanctified, and glorified pornography.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Witchcraft
		But in witchcraft, as commonly understood, there is involved the idea of a diabolical pact or at least an appeal to the intervention of the spirits of evil.
		In the Holy Scripture references to witchcraft are frequent, and the strong condemnations of such practices which we read there do not seem to be based so much upon the supposition of fraud as upon the "abomination" of the magic in itself.
		Supposing that the belief in witchcraft were an idle superstition, it would be strange that the suggestion should nowhere be made that the evil of these practices only lay in the pretending to the possession of powers which did not really exist.

		Witchcraft’s homage to decades past was obvious worship, but a charming and persuasive one, and it wasn’t long before a healthy buzz developed.
		With such apparent influences and vintage style, Witchcraft runs the risk of abdicating an identity of their own, becoming a gray screen against which footage of the originals is projected, but their second album sees the band take at least small steps toward coming into their own.

	Evolution of the English Witch Trial
		Although witchcraft was used as a scapegoat for any bit of bad luck from a shipwreck to a lost kitchen utensil, it was most tempting to use it as a theory of illness.
		The eventual appearance of the witches' sabbath in English trials has been explained in the past by claiming that the Protestants who were in exile on the continent during the reign of Queen Mary, brought back with them the fears and theories of continental witchcraft when they returned after the coronation of Elizabeth.
		Discoverie was written to ridicule witchcraft in the eyes of the general public, and Scot was of the opinion that the witchcraft delusion was entirely an invention of the Inquisition.

	Worship of the Generative Powers: The Witches' Sabbath
		The young children were taken to the edge of a stream--for the scene was generally chosen on the banks of a stream--and white wands were placed in their hands, and they were entrusted with the care of the toads which were kept there, and which were of importance in the subsequent operations of the witches.
		They arrived at the Sabbath, or went from it, on their errands of mischief, perched on a stick or besom, or carried upon a goat or other animal, with an infant or two behind, and guided or driven on by the devil himself.

		‘Witchcraft’, is a record which conjures up the macabre essence of vintage Pentagram and, of course Black Sabbath whilst incorporating influences as wide apart as the Jethro Tullesque folky prog of "Her Sisters They Were Weak", and the bludgen riffing style of early 70’s Bang in "I Want You to Know".
		Witchcraft mastermind, Magnus Pelander has been an active member of the Swedish Doom scene for some time now despite his youthful age, and initially started the band as a tribute to former 13th Floor Elevators legend Roky Erickson and vintage Doom rocker Bobby Liebling of cult legends Pentagram.
		While many of their, more generic, contemporaries are more conservative in their approach, Witchcraft are a band that can swing effortlessly from orthodox doom to blues, folk and jazz whilst always remaining shrouded in the cloak of influence from some of the more obscure moments of the 70’s cult rock underground.

	Witchcraft
		On those occasions when such seasonal nature celebrations were witnessed by members of the Christian clergy, the gatherings were condemned as expressions of witchcraft and were named "fl sabbats," to distinguish the ceremonies as the complete opposite of the true and holy Sabbath days.
		Although organized witchcraft trials continued to be held throughout Europe and even the American colonies until the late seventeenth century, they were most often civil affairs and the Inquisition had little part in such ordeals.
		Although there was plenty of food and beer, many scholars of witchcraft believe that the high priests and priestesses took advantage of the entranced state of most of the worshippers and spiked the drinks with belladonna or other drugs.

	WITCHCRAFT HAUNTED AMERICA TOURS
		Witchcraft, in various historical, anthropological, religious and mythological contexts, is the use of certain kinds of alleged supernatural or magical powers.
		Practices and beliefs that have been termed "witchcraft" do not constitute a single identifiable religion, since they are found in a wide variety of cultures, both present and historical; however these beliefs do generally involve religious elements dealing with spirits or deities, the afterlife, magic and ritual.
		Under the monotheistic religions of the Levant (primarily Christianity, and Islam), witchcraft came to be associated with heresy, rising to a fever pitch among the Catholics, Protestants, and secular leadership of the European Late Medieval/Early Modern period.

	Charismatic Witchcraft
		People will use charismatic witchcraft to get their way in the local body, many of them are troublemakers who travel from one church to another if they can't get what they want, and they leave in their wake a large number of innocent victims who are confused and hurting.
		Another method in charismatic witchcraft is that of manipulation, the use of a position or a power to dictate how the outcome will end removing the Holy Spirit from being the convictor and Judge, and manipulating to build one's own fame or kingdom.
		The Pharisees use their interpretation of the Sabbath from the Talmud to determine that Jesus is not who the people say He is. The Sabbath is defined by Scripture in the Mosaic Writings, and the Pharisees used the Talmud which was man's interpretation of the Scriptures to determine the validity of Jesus.

		Sabbaths were being mentioned, but they were not picked up by the inquisitors in the teutonic countries.
		The accounts show that some quiet spot in the neighbourhood, a hill, a wood or an ancient stone monument was appointed for the meeting, and in the dead of night the witches found their way to it, generally on foot, as it was not usually far away, but often on horse or ass.
		If this is so, those who were initiated to witchcraft at the sabbaths were marked, but the mark was a simple puncture made with an awl.

		But Witchcraft isn't nearly as forceful or as heavy as Eyehategod, Orange Goblin, or Toadliquor, and Firewood isn't typical of what has been considered doom metal and stoner rock in the '90s and 2000 -- actually, this 2005 release shows no awareness of post-'80s metal or even post-'70s metal.
		And while Witchcraft's melodic offerings aren't the least bit groundbreaking, they are enjoyable; this derivative outing won't win any awards for originality, although it leaves no doubt that these Swedes are good at what they do.
		Firewood isn't in a class with the best albums that Sabbath, Tull, and Hendrix had to offer back in the Richard Nixon years, but it's a decent, worthwhile example of Witchcraft's desire to re-create the early years of heavy metal and hard rock.

	Eurozine - On the dark side of history - Carlo Ginzburg, Trygve Riiser Gundersen Carlo Ginzburg talks to Trygve Riiser ...
		When, in 1575, two men were under interrogation on suspicion of practising witchcraft, the judges were treated to stories of magic, wild nocturnal rides, and secret rites that seemed to fit perfectly with their belief in a horrible Witches' Sabbath.
		Not only did this theory run counter to accepted conceptions of witchcraft, it was also at odds with the common view of popular religion in medieval and early modern Europe.
		So, the two levels you mentioned must be viewed together: to begin with I focus on the provenance of the belief in a Witches' Sabbath, in one specific area and over a limited period of time, through the medium of concrete and datable historical events.

		Over the past thirty-plus years, the Sabbath formula has been used as a blueprint for much of what has come along in areas of heavy metal, stoner rock, death metal and even some mainstream popular music.
		Include Pentagram's original American perspective on the Sabbath sound, throw in some disparate voices like the 13th Floor Elevators and other heavy psychedelic bands, toss in prog and folk influences like Jethro Tull and Uriah Heep and you have the distinctive Witchcraft sound.
		Witchcraft has done an admirable job of capturing the soul and spirit of 1971, evoking the powerful mantra of bands like early Sabbath, Dust, Cactus and Sir Lord Baltimore.
