Burned with a slander and burned at the stake. Petrel of culture and sex
"Scary like a witch" - we hear from childhood and imagine that there is no woman more terrible in the world than an evil witch. However, in an era when the fires of the Inquisition blazed throughout Europe, it was not at all ugly old women who became witches.
Many of you have probably heard of the so-called bonfires of the Inquisition and the trials of witchcraft in Europe. To the question "When was it?" more than half of the people will answer: "Sometime in the Middle Ages." Of course, such atrocities as the witch hunt and the burning of innocent women seem to us the lot of humanity in the era of the "dark time", when ignorance and obscurantism reigned. Nikolai Bessonov in his wonderful book "Trials of Witchcraft" argues that the main heyday of the witch-hunt came precisely in the Renaissance and Reformation (XVI-XVIII centuries), when people, so to speak, were more open to science and pure reason.
And when the real number of victims is added to all this, then any person will shudder: thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, most of whom were women. Moreover, if we turn to history, the authors will tell us that the main processes did not belong to the so-called cases of "heretics." No, the trials of witchcraft were no longer carried out by the church, but by secular courts, which, by torture and torment, knocked confessions out of suspects. Here, anyone will be happy to admit anything, as long as they no longer torture him and leave him alone.
Today, with the help of the training "System-Vector Psychology", we will try to answer the question: how did it happen that in a civilized humane European society hundreds of thousands of women of different ages and statuses were killed and killed? Which women were most often accused of witchcraft? Who were these "witches" and who are they now, because in our time women are not massively burned at the stake.
Are all women witches?
When we hear the word "witch", we imagine something terrible and disgusting. A nasty, evil old woman with a hooked nose and a wart, toothless, distraught, bringing evil … "Scary like a witch" - we hear from childhood and imagine that there is no woman more terrible in the world than an evil witch. However, in an era when the fires of the Inquisition blazed throughout Europe, it was not at all ugly old women who became witches.
Very early on, people understood: in order to take revenge on an unwanted person, it is enough to accuse him of witchcraft. First of all, successful, beautiful and rich girls and women were accused of witchcraft. In most cases, of course, with the visual cutaneous ligament of vectors. It is they who have amazing beauty and drive men crazy, distributing their pheromones to the right and left. Not surprisingly, skin-visual girls and women became the object of envy on the part of those around them. All the men in the neighborhood are crazy about her, and the rest of the women cannot stand her. She is marrying the best guy in the village, and she is kind, educated, successful …
Skin-visual women - the eternal object of slander and slander - have always suffered in the first place and were, so to speak, the first victims of the courts of witchcraft, as evidenced by numerous documents of that time.
Around this time, they burned the convict, "who was famous as the most decent and beautiful girl in all of Cologne" …
The chronicler described the young sorceress, who went to the fire in the town of Shvabach in 1505, with the following words: "It was the most beautiful person with a wondrous body and snow-white chest."
“On Christmas Day of the Mother of God, a nineteen-year-old girl who was considered the most charming and virtuous in the whole city was burnt here, who was personally raised by the prince-bishop from childhood.”
It is significant that poor and unremarkable women were condemned much less often, although, of course, in the era of the very height of the courts over witchcraft, absolutely any girl who somehow did not please her neighbors could fall under the hot hand.
If we consider that the main part of the urban population consisted of people with skin and anal vectors, then the motives for the "selection" of witches become clear. The former were jealous of black destructive envy, while the latter listened to the opinion of “respected people”, and then went to administer “justice”.
Clause, or where the legs grow from
Any slip of the skin-visual girl always had the same mechanism. The fact is that the nulliparous and at the same time so seductive skin-visual individual posed a threat to the integrity of society. Being in a state of "war", she gave pheromones to all men in a row. As a result, instead of plowing in the field, a peasant with a muscle vector, intoxicated only by the smell of such a "neighbor", beats with might and main in the entryway and no longer wants to go to the field. Where does the harvest come from if the peasant does not work?
Men with an anal and skin vector are also not themselves and are in tension from one kind of beauty. Their wives are furious and want to squeeze the girl out of this world.
This is where the so-called "olfactory advisor" comes into play, whose activities are aimed at preserving the integrity of the pack. He has his own scores with the skin-visual girl. An undeveloped skin-visual female who was with the leader could become the reason why the whole flock died. And such "girls" are not needed by society, according to the olfactory person. To this day, he strangles them in the forest plantations.
Next, the owner of the oral vector was announced and, at the instigation of the olfactory advisor, stipulated the skin-visual girl. And what does it cost to him, a master of lies and slander? He will simply say that he saw how the girl called the devil on the full moon - the rest dragged the unfortunate woman by the arms and legs to the judge. Gotcha, witch!
"Hammer of witches" or the saga of an offended anal
Perhaps the most terrible book of all times and peoples was the weighty volume of The Hammer of the Witches, written by two monks Institoris and Sprenger. The extremely devout anal-sound Institute, for some reason known only to himself, harbored a terrible grudge against women. It is understandable why: a vow of celibacy is imposed on Catholic priests, and what a strong libido is with anal sex! Well, how can one not be offended by the beautiful half of humanity, which is maddening and at the same time so forbidden and inaccessible. And since the sexual frustrations of the owners of the anal vector turn into sadism and dirty tricks, it is not surprising that the monk Institoris so passionately wanted to torment and burn the objects of his irrepressible desire.
The Hammer of Witches, which has become the reference book of any judge or inquisitor for many centuries, is the crown of the creation of an offense against women. To verify this, we turn to the text itself.
“Because of the contamination of witchcraft, which has lately spread more among women than among men, we must say, after an accurate examination of the material, that women are flawed in both mind and body, and that it is not surprising that they do more shameful deeds. They reason differently and understand spiritual things differently than men. … A woman is more hungry for carnal pleasures than a man, which is evident from all the fleshly filth that women indulge in. Already at the creation of the first woman, these flaws of her were indicated by the fact that she was taken from a crooked rib, namely, from a sternal rib, which, as it were, deviates from a man. It also follows from this lack that a woman always deceives, since she is only an imperfect animal."
The authors of The Hammer of the Witches describe with undisguised hatred the skin-visual women, for whose sake men are ready to empty their wallets, to forget about God. They attribute to "sinners" all possible vices of humanity. They are really driven out of themselves by female coquetry, love of outfits, desire to take care of themselves and their beauty.
Key words used to describe women: "vanity of vanities", "greedy animal", "body for copulation", "false faith", "talkative language", "slander of slander", "monstrous deceiver", "destroyer of the empire", " the forest of pride "," spreading the infection "and many others.
As a true owner of the anal vector, the monk Institoris loved to show his "masculine strength", so when questioned, he stripped the accused naked, hung her by the hands from the ceiling and only then sat down opposite and slowly began a dialogue in order to knock out the revelations from the "fiend of hell."
The authors of The Hammer of the Witches identified four ways in which the devil himself takes women into his ministry:
1. Temporary adversity. The devil sends bad luck to a girl or a woman: milk disappears from cows, the harvest does not grow, and much more. She, of course, runs for advice to the witch, and in return the old woman demands to carry out a "small assignment", for example, quietly spitting on the ground in a church during a service. This is how a woman begins to serve the Devil.
2. Hearty yearning in young girls. “… The devil seeks to seduce more holy virgins and girls, for which there are reasons and examples of experience. He already possesses the wicked, and therefore is more trying to seduce the righteous into his power, which he does not possess … a girl with a vague yearning in her heart is the devil's desired profit.
3. "Sadness and poverty." If you believe the statements of the authors of "Hammer of Witches", then an abandoned and abandoned woman is easily ready to go to serve the devil in order to take revenge on the chosen one who has abandoned her.
4. Children of witches. So sometimes even two-year-old girls who allegedly caused a storm fell under the suspicion of the courts.
So a terrifying book was born, which became a tool in the fight against innocent women in the 16th-17th centuries.
Why did you have to burn witches?
The times described were extremely difficult for the common people. Either an epidemic of plague, now hunger … disease, high mortality, poverty … people were suppressed and did not see a gap in their existence. At the same time, the Church and the Inquisition occupy their positions, the main instrument of which is fear. They create a collective image of the Devil, who personifies all existing world evil. It is both a source of pain and a source of war, disease, death, crop failure and other disasters. Lack of food is the main factor that unbalances the so-called "salt of the earth" - the owners of the muscle vector.
Exhausted anal and dermal skin are also in poor condition. The Inquisition acts as the protector of the common people from the Devil. She proves that by her actions she saves people from death, and people begin to believe. But when the Inquisition is out of the game, all the townspeople feel abandoned, in danger. They are afraid that without the Inquisition, the Devil will again and again send hunger and death to their lands, so they call on ordinary worldly courts for help, which will help to cope with the instrument of Satan - witches. And secular courts were much dirtier on hand than the Holy Inquisition.
"Maybe we are doing worse?" - the peasants and artisans were perplexed. "Maybe we are not as brave as our noble ancestors?" the nobles asked themselves. Why is life getting harder: first hunger, then pestilence? Has God turned away and prayers no longer reach him? And against the background of all the troubles, all the disorder, a simple answer appears: "The witches are to blame!"
Finding an extreme is a great solution to relieve stress in society. Now all efforts are directed towards finding witches and "doing justice." Neither starving muscles, for whom death is just a return to basics, nor frustrated anal ones will stop at the opportunity to restore balance to society.
For example, a fairly well-known judge and demonologist Nicolas Remy, who since childhood believed in ghosts and evil spirits, sent over 900 women to the stake. Benedict Karptsov, being a very pious man, signed over 20 thousand death sentences, among which three thousand were devoted specifically to cases of witchcraft.
True, the unfortunate women also had sympathizers, for example, Friedrik von Spee, who had to visit the dungeons where convicts for witchcraft are kept. “To his horror, the confessor became convinced that the women whom he accompanied to the pillar were completely innocent. Then he learned about the methods by which recognition was obtained. His head turned gray prematurely. In defense of the victims of judicial arbitrariness, a Catholic priest published a book "A warning to judges, or about witchcraft trials."
Why haven't such processes been successful in Russia? Peter I, following the example of Europe, wanted to introduce such practices, but they did not have much success. It is known only about isolated cases of punishment of "witches", but basically nobody was involved in this. All this is explained by the urethral mentality of Russia with its riotousness and love of freedom, protection of the weak, the orphaned and the poor. Moreover, Orthodoxy, in contrast to Catholicism, is more loyal to paganism and witchcraft, therefore, various fortune tellers, midwives and sorceresses remain in high esteem to this day.
