This is a slight shift in beliefs before.
The Malifas Maleficarum was an influential witch finding manual written by a maniac, right?
It wasn't the only one.
They probably still would have happened even if this book had never been written, but it was a big one.
OK.
And it's written by a monk or a fright, an asshole called Kramer, who was so mad that he got thrown out of several villages for being weird and creepy.
And like creeping on women and trying to get them executed.
But it's very, very clear and explicit that the devil is here and he is recruiting primarily women, but men as well, to do his evil will and that you need to find them.
And it sets off just I mean, this and other things at the time, but it sets off this paranoia and in this religious tumult of of Catholics versus Protestants.
And we're all trying to be the most holy.
Suddenly, which has become a way to prove that you're holy because you can find them and you can fight them and they become this real thing and you're doing God's work and you're going to get them.
And it takes over and it's just, it all happens over the span of like one long lifetime.
It's just, I know it's not as neat as this, but when I think about it, I almost think of like it starts and then it kind of ends almost as fast as if people just suddenly went, what will we do?
Jesus Christ.
What will we do in there?
Like they've just sort of like come to in Tesco of just like, what on earth?
Why have I got bonfire wood with me?
This is just crazy stuff.
But it kind of peters out almost as quickly.
And yeah, it took a while to get to Iceland.
