Flying Ointments and Formulas in European Witchcraft
What lies behind the myth of witches’ nocturnal flight?
Far from fantasy, this book draws on real historical documents—Inquisitorial trials, medical treatises, and demonological texts—that, over centuries, recorded with striking consistency the use of ointments associated with the so-called “flight” to the Sabbat.
Based on sources spanning the 15th to the 17th centuries, these formulas are reconstructed as they appear in the archives: mixtures of fats, narcotic plants, and ritual practices preceding states of trance, deep sleep, and intensely vivid experiences. Rather than a simple legend, what emerges is a complex phenomenon at the crossroads of pharmacology, belief, and the cultural framework of its time.
The book moves through testimonies, compares regions, and examines ingredients with a critical perspective—without romanticizing or oversimplifying. Here, witchcraft is presented as a coherent system within its historical context, where body, mind, and symbolism operated as an inseparable whole.
A rigorous and well-documented work that invites a closer look at what for centuries was dismissed as mere superstition.
