According to the historical and philosophical view, the Sabbath is a secret celebration in the course of which devilish rituals are performed. Participants in these actions are witches.
At their meetings (witches), witches traveled "by their own way": who is on the wolf, who is on the pig, who is on the cat, black, of course. And there were some who moved through the air with the help of improvised means. Slavic Baba Yaga, as you know, prefers a stupa or, in a lightened version, a broom.
What is a coven of witches?
This, according to the views of the researchers, meets on the Bald Mountain of evil spirits, when all the witches gather here to arrange a feast of evil spirits. The holiday is arranged at night, while the witch's Sabbath is accompanied by dances, sacrifices to the devil , and unbridled sexual orgies. At the same time, in the "public festivals" of evil spirits, not only witches participate, but also other evil spirits who are recruited for this dark power this night. It is noteworthy that evil spirits can acquire the most unusual images: from ordinary, human, to the most fantastic.
Surprisingly, not only witches appeared on the coven, but even monks and priests who departed from the faith and indulged in carnal pleasures along with evil forces. All witches were obliged to appear on the black coven. He danced around the devil, who sat on the throne, and during the chanting of witches indulged in fornication with each of them.
The obligatory component of the Sabbath was blasphemy, in which Christian books were trampled, spitting on the cross and performing other god-forgiving actions. During this wild feast the queen was chosen: the most terrible witch. It was she who was given the right to sit near the throne of the Lord of Darkness. Then, after the signal of the queen of the coven , a wild feast was organized, at which frogs and dishes prepared from the bodies of the dead and the hearts of unbaptized children were eaten.
All Christian rituals were mocked that night, and those who were converted, sold the devil's soul, were to receive from him baptism with blood and sulfur and kiss him in the ass.
The witch songs of dancing continued until the morning, and with the first rays of the rising sun, after the cock crowing, everything disappeared: all the evil spirits flew to their native places. Flying over people's dwellings, witches scattered magic potions that carried curses, evil eye and illness.
All this is what the Sabbath means in the view of those who studied mystical events related to the events on Bald Mountain.
