[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 303845, member: 2189"] Malleus Maleficarum in the latin translated to english "The Hammer of Witches" or in the German "der HexenHammer" and was a edict of the Church issued in 1486' to address the problem with witches and witchcraft. Where is might pose a problem for you is that women who were strong will or opinionated were also considered witches and the edict contained specific instructions to local magistrates on how to question and cause a witch to implicate herself. Waterboarding was completely encouraged as was water dunking! :happy-very: The weather angle to witches had more to do that in those days, witches worshipped nature so to speak as the last remnants of Pre-Roman European religions like Druidism were still around. My guess, being that at the time there was a mini ice age and bad weather so the church needing a scapgoat not to mention the desire to rid the competition so to speak, this was as good a time as any to attack witches. HexenHammer (make a good name for metal band and yes there is one) was not so much an original as the authors borrowed much from folks like Torquemada, the grand inquisitor so what he did to jews in Spain only came to be used against nature worshipers and mouthy women a few years later. I also found funny that in HexenHammer the authors decreed that women were weaker to sexual desires and could not resist their temptations. Women sexually weaker than men? :surprised::happy-very: As so, it was alledged that women were prone to sexual forrays with the devil and his various demons and that these encounters were what turned women to witchcraft. I guess the legend of Lilith just won't die even when the church itself denies it's canonical place! :happy-very: [/QUOTE]
