Madame de MontespanDisclaimerThis is NOT a page about Wiccans or neo-pagans, and I do not advocate the belief that Wiccans are Satan-worshippers and/or baby-killers. I am well aware that they are not. This is a starting point for historical research into the great witch craze of 1100-1700 AD. And please, don't ask me for spells. Madame de Montespan"A mistress of Louis XIV of France. In order to retain the king's dying love, she practiced occult and Satanic rites, participating in an obscene Amatory Mass, in the concoction of philtres, and, according to historical chronicles, in child sacrifice as well. Among her accomplices were a certain Abbé Guibourg, Lesage, an alchemist, and Catherine La Voisin, a notorious witch" (Wedeck 206, 207).
