The final challenge for #tcwitchyoctober22 was to talk about witch trials. "The first written mention of witches in Zagreb goes back to the 14th century, to be precise in 1360, when a document tells about the trial of Alice and Margareta, who must not repeat their witch crimes or they will be punished without trial and defense. They, just like the witch Dragica two years later, could be acquitted by jurors standing up for them and swearing on their honesty. In our country, this old Slavic custom of defense was replaced by an investigation under torture at the beginning of the 17th century. However, the burnings started happening in Croatia not long after the publication of the book Malleus Maleficarum - this time, Croatia did not wait long for the movements in Europe. Thus, history testifies to the burning of Ursula, daughter of shoemaker Luka, who was sued for destroying her brother's marital happiness with magic. both were burned on September 6, 1496." #witchtrials #alessoninvengeance #victorialee #darkacademia #halloweenreads #bookworm #bookstagram #witchtrialsincroatia #malleusmaleficarum #instabook #currentlyreading #halloween #halloweendecor #🎃 (at Rukavac, Primorsko-Goranska, Croatia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYlbyyI56H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
