Besides, you'll be helping some idiots afford more chances to make better shows... THE MALLEUS MALEFICARUM The notorious best-seller next to the Bible for over 200 years! Why? Because the infamous "Hammer of Witches" text not only outlines all the fantastic ways to hunt down, torture and ultimately snuff out witches it details the following: -How to take an Oath to The Prince of Darkness in person. -How to obtain the favors and powers of The Devil. -What demons rule over what sin? -Demons don't live in Hell? wait, WTF? -Where do incubi and succubi get all the juice to make babies? -Who empowers witches, demons, Satan, God or both? -How can you tell when The Devil is aiding a torture subject? -How ought you to torture a suspect of witchcraft anyway? -Can witches make you go flaccid? HINT: "YES THEY CAN!" and so much more... We're not historians but we DID read the source document so, by-golly, we're gonna tell you what we thought about it. The Malleus Maleficarum was the creation of a frustrated Dominican priest who, upset that he was unable to persecute women the way he wanted, retired to write the Malleus and lobby for official papal recognition of the witchcraft problem. In short; this snowballed to create a legacy of witch burning and persecuting the innocent that would spread, as madness does, cropping up here and there, for hundreds of years - always with the Malleus Maleficarum as its justification.
