...pace that is breathless and occasionally incoherent the author pours out a mass of material which should fascinate the materialist and terrify the romantic. Witches, it seems, did not fly picturesquely through the air on broomsticks. They smeared each other with an irritant ointment, danced and leaped high with sticks between their legs, thereby exciting themselves for the orgy which closed all witches "Sabbats" (Congresses).
