Introduction to Pyrenean Witchcraft: Going with the Bruxes for 600 Years with Julia Carreras Tort - Occvlta

2024 marks the 600th anniversary of the first civil law against witchcraft in Europe. That law was written in the enigmatic location of the Pyrenees, a mountain range which is still today filled with legends and folklore related to the primordial witch. This lecture will explore the Basics of Pyrenean witchcraft through the seminal concepts of the bruxa (the 'witch'), the Land, and the Sabbat.
