Witches’ Sabbath – Johannes Praetorius: Blockes-Berges Verrichtung, Leipzig u.a. 1668

“Now to the Brocken the witches ride;
The stubble is gold and the corn is green;
And Squire Urianus will come to preside.
So over the valley our company floats,
With witches a-farting on stinking old goats.”
    ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Witches going to their Sabbath (1878), Luis Ricardo Falero
