1. _According to many writers the place where the Sabbat is held is distinguished by a clump of trees, or sometimes by a cross. The Author’s opinion on this point._ 2. _A remarkable account of a place where the Sabbat was held._ 3. _There must be water near the place where the Sabbat is held. The reason for this._ 4. _If there is no water in the place, the Sorcerers dig a hole in the ground and urinate in this._ Chapter XXII. The proceedings at the Sabbat. 1. _The Sorcerers worship the Devil who appears under the form of a tall black man, or as a goat. They offer him candles & kiss his posterior._ 2. _They dance. A description of their dances._ 3. _They give themselves up to every kind of filthy abomination. The Devil transforms himself into an Incubus & into a Succubus._ 4. _The hideous orgies & foul copulations practised by the Euchites, & Gnostics._ 5. _The Sorcerers feast at the Sabbat. Their meat & their drink. The way in which they say grace before and after table._ 6. _However, this food never satisfies their appetites, & they always arise from table as hungry as before._ 7. _When they have finished their meal, they give the Devil a full account of all their actions._ 8. _They again renounce God, their baptism, &c. How Satan incites them to do evil._ 9. _They raise dark storms._ 10. _They celebrate their mass. Of their vestments, & holy water._ 11. _Sometimes to conclude the Sabbat Satan seems to be consumed in a flame of fire, & to be completely reduced to ashes. All present take a small part of these ashes, which the Sorcerers use for their charms._ 12. _Satan is always the Ape of God in everything._ As the procedure in the various Sabbats differed very greatly according to century, decade, country, district, nay, even in view of the station of life and, it would seem, the very temperaments of the assembly, it is only possible to outline in a general way some of the most remarkable ceremonies which took place on the occasions of these infernal congregations. An intimate and intensive study of the Sabbat would require a large volume, for it is quite possible to reconstruct the rites in every particular, although the precise order of the ritual was not always and everywhere the same.
