Summary: conclusion, the development of the Sabbat from early witch gatherings into notorious and bestial meetings is detailed in the text, with the influence of various magicians and the Christian Church shaping the perception of devil worship over the centuries. The confessions during witch trials were largely misleading, leading to persecution and torture of innocent individuals. The role of key figures such as Simon Magus and Aleister Crowley in the practice of Black Magic is highlighted, along with the transformation of witchcraft laws and persecution throughout Europe over the years. With the repeal of witchcraft acts and the slow acceptance of rationality and education, the era of secrecy and fear surrounding witchcraft gradually gave way to a more enlightened perspective on the Old Religion.
