We have all heard that in the 15th-17th centuries, Western Europe experienced a terrible period in its history, called by historians the “Witch Hunt”. In the Catholic and Protestant states of Europe, as well as in the American colonies of England, during this period women who were considered witches were massively persecuted and executed.
During the Middle Ages, the clan of witches included women who possessed knowledge and skills incomprehensible to most ordinary people. Witches knew how to “harm” by depriving livestock of the ability to produce milk, meat, lard, wool, and poultry to lay eggs. Witches allegedly robbed peasants of their harvests and poisoned food, sent terrible diseases to people, and caused droughts or floods.
On the one hand, they were respected and feared. On the other hand, such women were considered to have conspired with the devil, participated in Sabbaths and copulated with male demons.
It was for such “misconducts” that “advanced” women of that time were persecuted by the Inquisition for any denunciation and slander, and were mercilessly destroyed, having previously been subjected to severe torture.
Let us recall some of the most vividly recorded witch trials in the history of medieval Europe.
1. Bridget Bishop "The Witches of Salem"
This process took place in 1692 in New England. Then, as a result of the actions of the Inquisition, 19 people were hanged, one was crushed by stones and about 200 more were imprisoned. The reason for the trial was the illness of the daughter and niece of Pastor Salem. A local doctor diagnosed it as the influence of witches.What to do? Search for witches! And they were found. First, an elderly woman, Bridget Bishop, owner of several local taverns, was found guilty “without trial” and hanged. And then more than seventy more “witches” were deprived of their lives.
2. Agnes Sampson
And these terrible events happened in Scotland. Allegedly, several female witches, who were friends with the devil himself and practiced black magic, tried to sink the royal ship with the help of witchcraft.There was simply a strong storm, common in those places, and the ship was “on the brink” of destruction, but miraculously escaped. And the king of Scotland, being a superstitious man, considered this to be the work of real witches. And a witch hunt began in Scotland...
Again, the “witnesses” of the terrible witch rituals testified against the witches under terrible torture, and the first to be captured was a very respected lady in the city, a midwife named Agnes Sampson. She was terribly tortured, wearing a “witch’s bridle.” In the end, she told everything, confessed to everything and gave up five more of her accomplices. Of course, Agnes was sentenced to death, strangled and burned at the stake.
3. Anna Coldings
Among the five accomplices named by Agnes Sampson, the first was Anna Coldings. She was also accused of witchcraft, subjected to a series of terrible tortures, during which the woman admitted her participation in a ritual to summon a storm at sea, named five more accomplices and was burned alive at the stake. For some reason, history remembers Anna Coldings as the Mother of the Devil.
4. Kael Merry
Somehow, in the Dutch town of Roermond, everything went “wrong”: children began to get sick and die en masse, livestock behaved strangely, cow’s milk stopped churning into butter, it quickly turned sour and disappeared. Of course, all this was attributed to the hands of a local witch - the Danish Kael Merry.The Spanish judges really wanted to torture Kael, but the local court took pity on Mary, leaving her alive, and simply decided to extradite her, in modern terms. Merry left Holland, but this did not save her. The Spaniards did not abandon their attempt to punish the witch; their mercenary tracked down Mary and drowned her in the Meuse River.
5. Anthony Gillies
Midwife Anthien Gillies, a resident of the Netherlands, was accused of witchcraft and the murder of unborn children and newborn babies. She was terribly tortured. And she had to confess that she slept with the Devil, killed unborn children, and hunted babies. In addition, Entien pointed out several more witches, sent a farewell curse to the entire city and accepted execution by hanging.In total, 63 witches lost their lives in this process. They all had to confess to their crimes, led by the Devil himself. This process went down in history as the process in which the largest number of witches were killed.
This terrible story happened during a summer holiday in a Ukrainian village. It was a warm summer day. My wife, children and I decided to spend it in the forest across the river, where there were a lot of mushrooms. Now there is a river behind us, and we pass along the narrow path of a village beyond the river. The people here live in the old fashioned way. Almost every hut has a spacious yard and a barn. The houses are low, squat, surrounded by hedges.
Passing by one hut, we stopped. In front of us, an old woman was driving something away from the gate with a rod and hissing: “Get lost and go back where you came from.” This “something” was a huge gray toad with blood-red eyes. The grandmother, having driven her away, said cheerfully:
- Order for today.
- And tomorrow? - I ask, having said hello.
The old woman looked tiredly after the gray, big-eyed guest:
- I, the old one, will have trouble with her more than once.
Seeing the interest on our faces, the old woman told her story:
- My cow stopped milking. She’s healthy, eating, sleeping, butting, but the milk is gone. The witch did it. Today I waylaid her and drove her away. A witch can take the form of a cat, dog, horse, wolf, pig, frog. This red-eyed toad that I drove away from the gate is the witch.
- It was necessary to kill, that's all.
- It’s not worth it, it’s dangerous. There was such a case in the village. They caught a dog near a cow and cut off its paw. We came home, and my aunt said: “Someone cut off my sick mother’s left hand.” That's why I didn't kill her. There are simpler ways. For example, I try to turn “my” witch into a duck or goose with a blow of a twig. He will fly and leave us.
- What if he doesn’t leave?
- Well then, I’ll get a rooster and martin hens or a yarchuk dog.
We did not understand then what the old woman was talking about, and only in the winter did I come across the book “Ukrainians: Folk Beliefs, Beliefs and Demonology”, where I met both the “martynyat” and the “yarchuk”.
And on that July day, we wished the woman good luck in the unequal and heroic struggle with the witch, said goodbye and wandered into the nearby forest. Birds sang in the forest, the mushrooms did not hide from us. But for some reason I saw a red-eyed gray toad under every bush, and in my ears I heard a woman’s hissing: “Get lost and go back to where you came from”...
And now summer is already coming to an end. August has passed, leaving behind the unforgettable smell of hay and ripe apples. The incident with the woman and the toad has been forgotten. But then an excited neighbor comes running with a rake in her hands and asks for help: “We are mowing hay, and there’s either a viper or a toad almost eaten. Help,” he says, “maybe you know a lot about this.” I know, I don’t know, but I need help. I take a camera, a rod and a work mitten with me. First, I take a photo for memory, then I save a toad that is barely alive and hiding in the grass. I carry a meter-long snake into the willow thickets. I let go, remembering my grandmother’s story. This means that there are two witches in the village, and the struggle between them is life and death, right in broad daylight. To this day I don’t know who I helped. Probably to the neighbors, because according to legend, the matter should have ended in fire.
...Quiet moonlit night. Not a soul. Only the furious barking of a dog reminds us that someone or something is wandering around in the pitch darkness...

Historically, it so happened that some evil witches are known to each of us, while for some reason there is no information about others, while the former, it turns out, were much more bloodthirsty than the latter. There once lived terrible witches and sorceresses, about whom only local residents, that is, a few, know. Today we will talk about such little-known, but extremely cruel witches.
Mika Zarevnaya. The most cruel and young witch in Bulgaria
Mika was born near the Bulgarian city of Haskovo in the village of Dinevo, presumably in 1871, into a family of poor villagers. If you believe the stories of local residents, the Zarevny family was never seen doing anything bad; they were ordinary hard-working villagers. Beginning in 1885, young men began to disappear in the village. Moreover, all the missing guys were once seen in the company of Mika. The guys disappeared one after another for two years. Of course, suspicion fell on Mika, but the girl was only 14-15 years old, how could she kill healthy village boys? The girl got a bad reputation in the village, people began to beware of her, but the young guys continued to disappear.
The truth was revealed completely by accident. Far in the forest, several village men came across a clearing, it was clear that there were graves here - 32 in total. The bodies of the missing guys lay in them. The most amazing thing is that each of these men was killed in an incomprehensible way; no injuries or signs of strangulation were found on their bodies, it was as if they had fallen dead. In each grave, along with the corpse, lay a candle and a piece of paper with several words in an unknown language. Of course, the residents of Dinevo decided that occult rituals were carried out here. On the same day, a crowd of angry villagers burst into the Zarevnys’ house, grabbed Mika and searched the entire house, where occult books and objects were found, but the worst thing was a sheet of paper with a list of all the missing guys. The execution of the girl was cruel - she was buried alive in the clearing where the missing men were found.
Suzanne Lowes. The most terrible witch in Spain
Suzanne Lowes lived in southern Spain near what is now Frailes in the mid-1700s. From early childhood, the girl became interested in the occult and satanic rituals; she did not go to church under any pretext. The Lowes family was aristocratic, they lived in a separate castle, the parents, for unknown reasons, did not oppose Suzanne’s interests, and the Inquisition no longer existed at that time. Every year the girl became more and more interested in the occult, and performed obligatory rituals on the full moon and all holidays. As she grew older, these rituals became sexual in nature. Each ritual for the girl was accompanied by obligatory sexual contact with one of the local, necessarily unmarried, guys. Of course, the young and lustful boys gladly made contact with the young and beautiful Suzy, they did not think about Satanism and rituals, they only needed one thing...
After some time, strange things began to happen in the area: one after another, deformed children were born. If you believe the legends, newborns had blue skin, like the dead, and red eyes, and they screamed during birth, as if they were not human children, but wild animals. All these children died within one week. And, by the way, this information is documented - there are only 162 such newborns, but it is possible that there were more. The most interesting thing was that every single man from whom these children were born entered into sexual contact with Suzanne Lowes. Notoriety spread, and the witch, of course, began to be avoided. Lowes died at a very old age and had no children of her own. Of course, the locals tried to take revenge on her, but it was impossible to get close to the impregnable Lowes Castle.
Maria Stupalu. The most terrible witch of Romania
Maria lived all her life in a small village near the city of Resita in western Romania. Maria was born in the 1620s, the date of her death is unknown. Maria Stupalu was considered a healer in her village; people constantly came to her for help and treated the woman with great respect. However, in an instant, life in the village changed, or, more precisely, stopped.
Memoirs of eyewitnesses
“We were traveling from Resici on a cart to buy corn, meat and milk in that village. Approaching the village, we noticed the ominous silence; as we drove closer, the ominous silence was added by an equally ominous smell. All the people in the village were dead, the animals were dead, and birds that had fallen from the sky lay on the ground.”
All the people and animals died on the same day, as if they had dropped dead while going about their daily business. When people began to be buried, one resident was missing - Maria Stupala. Moreover, her house was empty. It turned out that the witch knew that something terrible would happen and left the village with her things. However, local people are sure that she killed the village. Maria was never seen again. The total number of deaths is 401 people.
THE WITCH DOES NOT THROW THREATS TO THE WIND
Everything that will be discussed in this article happened to Alla Vladimirovna D., who lives in a small mining town near Donetsk. Her stepmother died long ago, but even from the other world she managed to get her pupil. However, first things first.
Alla was born the eighth. Just at that time, her father went on a spree with a certain Frosya, a famous witch in the area who lived next door. This witch seriously fell in love with him and set a condition for Alla’s mother: “Give me Volodka, otherwise neither I nor you will get him!” She, naturally, sent her away. And Volodka himself seemed to have come to his senses: he stopped dating someone else’s woman and decided to live with his own family.
Yes, it seems they didn’t know their neighbor well - it was not for nothing that she was known as a witch, and she didn’t throw threats to the wind. When Alla was eight months old, her father suddenly died.
This happened in the early 30s. It was impossible for one mother to feed a crowd of eight children. The three youngest soon died from various diseases.
Meanwhile, the witch beat off another man from a neighboring village. His character is meek, kind and patient, and also hard-working. On one of these, as they used to say, you can even carry water. Frosya herself did not like rural work; she was angry and envious. She had lived comfortably before: clients generously thanked her for treatment for illnesses and for other services. And now she has started her own farm: chickens, a cow, a pig. In addition, the children did not hold her by the hem - there were none.
So Aunt Frosya suggested to her neighbor: “Give me Alka, otherwise she will die with you!” You won't be able to feed everyone anyway. She looks painfully like the dead Volodka. And I loved him, the fool, very much.”
And the mother gave Alla to the witch. It seemed like it was for a while, but it turned out to be permanent.
It was hard for the girl: Froska beat her and insulted her, but Alla endured and did not become embittered, although she often cried, huddled somewhere in a secluded corner of the garden or house. And there was nowhere for her to leave here. Alla knew that her own mother did not love her, considering her, by some strange logic, almost the main culprit in her father’s death.
The baby was not even five years old when her “new” mother forced her to catch and bring black cats and dogs into the house. The main requirement of such a “hunt” was that the body of the animal should be pure black, and there could well be white spots on the paws, muzzle or tail.
The witch later used these animals in her witchcraft practice. For a long time Alla did not know how exactly she did this. She was surprised, however, that after giving Aunt Frosa another cat or dog, she never saw them again.
IN THE WITCH'S LAIR
On the new and full moons, Euphrosyne did not eat anything and hid for 3-4 days in a special, mysterious wooden barn without windows with a brick chimney on top. Entry there was strictly prohibited not only to Alla, but also to the witch’s husband. On ordinary days, there was a massive lock hanging on the doors of this barn.
But one summer, either the owner lost her vigilance, or did it on purpose, but the door to the barn was ajar. Alla was just in the yard and, noticing that there was no one around, she quickly slipped into the dark crack.
The right wall of the shed was empty, and the left was full of racks and shelves to the very top. What was missing here! Jars and bottles with various ointments and some liquids or tinctures. Bunches of various herbs, dry and freshly picked. Skins of frogs, cats and dogs: whole and pieces - 3-5-6-coal. By the way, the animal skins, as you guessed, were mostly black. Alla noticed many dried hearts and other internal organs of animals. There was a small stove in the left corner. Near the stove there are several brooms and a real stupa. Under. There were live bats hanging from the ceiling.
The girl became scared, and she jumped out into the yard like a bullet, closing the door behind her.
“DO YOU WANT TO BE AS STRONG LIKE ME?”
Until Alla was ten years old, the sorceress generally treated her quite tolerably, except, of course, for frequent beatings and insults. She was quite confident that she was raising her own replacement.
After all, only a complete fool, in her opinion, could refuse to accept the gift of special power over people.
— Aunt Frosya was a witch of a wide profile. She told fortunes with cards, treated people with herbs, did dirty tricks to order, and made people live from the light, if, of course, they asked. This lady was proud of her talents and considered her “profession” the best in the world.
On Alla’s birthday, she called the girl to her.
- Do you want to become as strong as me? You don’t even realize how envious people are of me and how afraid they are of me in our village, and throughout the entire district. And everyone needs me. Did you see it? Those who need to tell fortunes on cards or get medical treatment go to the gate. And whoever wants to play dirty tricks on the enemy or drive him away from the world, they run to Aunt Frosya’s gardens. Now your important time is coming, dear. Until the age of ten, a guardian angel has great power over a person’s soul, and from ten to twelve, the demon-tempter gains strength, receiving power equal to that of the angel. During these years, you must choose: will you follow in my footsteps or where will your guardian angel lead you. >
— Is it bad when a guardian angel leads? - Alla asked, perceiving the witch’s frank hostility towards this invisible creature.
- Nothing good! — the sorceress answered harshly and angrily. “It’s better when Satan leads the soul.”
“You have to make the choice yourself.” Nobody will force you. When you turn 12 years old, say that you have decided. Understood?
As far as it was in her power, for the next two years the adoptive mother tried to treat Alla with more tolerance and attention. However, to be honest, the girl still got it...
OLD MAN PATRONER
Alla knew almost nothing about God. They didn’t talk about this topic in the house. But they cursed often.
The girl did not want to become like Aunt Frosya, angry and cruel. She believed that besides Satan there was another force - good, and even Satan could not do anything with it.
And so, huddled somewhere in a corner, she cried and asked: “Lord! Well, help me with at least something! Tell me what to do and what to do. I’m not to blame for anything.”
The girl's requests were heard. Soon a small white-bearded old man in a white robe began to appear to her. More precisely, he did not come, but slowly descended from above, always to the right. The old man consoled Alla and gave advice on how to act in various situations and what to do. “Be patient, child! - he spoke affectionately, and a joyful, consoling grace descended from his words into his heart. - Don't bother God with little things. It’s not easy for him either: there’s a lot to do, and all the unfortunate people need to be helped. Call me when things get hard. And don’t be upset if you don’t always see me when you need to. I have a lot to attend to and a lot to console. But you remember, even if I’m not next to you, I will still help you, I will support you in difficult times, let it be easier for you...”
The old man’s words sank into the girl’s soul, although at that time she never fully understood their deep meaning.
“She will offend you, don’t hold a grudge. Don’t accumulate this poison, but forgive and have pity on the unfortunate witch who voluntarily renounced God’s love and chose hell instead...” the old man taught Alla.
She did just that. And I was happy to notice that with such an attitude it was much easier to endure any grievances.
“You won’t live with her for long...” a quiet voice consoled her. “You will grow up and leave... In the meantime, be patient, child, and give up the gift of witchcraft. Otherwise you will die. And I will send you strength and consolation...”
And at the age of 12, Alla refused to accept the witchcraft gift.
Euphrosyne seemed to have broken free. Sometimes, however, she even seemed to apologize to Alla.
“Don’t think...” the sorceress justified herself. “I’m not evil myself.” Satan is forcing me to do this. He strongly dislikes your guardian angel. I treat you well myself. You look too much like your father... Well, okay, let's see what happens next. Maybe at 14 years old Satan will defeat your angel. Oh, and it’s harmful for you, you bastard!
And the girl felt joy that the omnipotent, according to the witch, Satan could not overcome the resistance of her patron, and thanked God and, of course, that old saint who helped her hold on.
FLIGHT IN A STUPA WITH A WITCH
When Alla turned 14 years old, the girl expected that the witch would terrorize her, forcing her to agree to accept the gift of witchcraft. But this was not the case.
One summer evening, when darkness fell and the full red moon rose in the sky, the witch called her into her hut.
- Come see how strong I am. You’ll see how I turn into a cat...” And, unable to resist, she intimidated. “Did you see that your mother lives alone and can’t get married?” I did this to her. If you don’t listen to me, you’ll also live alone forever.
However, our heroine was not afraid of her threats. She was sure that the witch’s spell had no power over her, thanks to her guardian angel and the old man who continued to support her. Satan could not defeat them, and therefore he became angry and could not find a place for himself. But Alla saw his primitive tricks and was calm.
The girl simply and easily agreed, knowing that she would not have another similar opportunity. And you need to see this kind of witchcraft “miracles”, and not only for your own enlightenment, but also for the benefit of other people.
- What a red moon! — the sorceress rejoiced. “Today I will have great strength!” However, you will see everything for yourself!
When they entered the hut, the owner warned Alla:
“Just don’t go anywhere and don’t touch anything here with your hands.” Wait for my return, and you and I will fly in a mortar. And now I need to take revenge on one neighbor. I remain in her debt, I need to return the favor.
She opened the stove damper. Then she stripped naked and began to smear herself with some kind of ointments, casting incomprehensible spells, and at times she clearly and clearly called on Satan for revenge.
Then she drank something from a can, smeared herself with cat hair, lay down on her left side, turned over, again ending up on her left, and turned into a large black cat, almost the size of a mongrel.
This cat jumped into the open stove and disappeared, although due to its size it could not fit into the stove hole. Following the cat, six bats and a large black bird, similar to an eagle owl, darted there. Alla seemed to have never seen her here before.
The witch was gone for a quarter of an hour. Then there was a loud laugh, someone was clearly overcome by unbridled joy, which is usually called wild, and then some neighing was heard.
Alla even closed her eyes in fear.
When I came to my senses, I saw in the dim light of a kerosene lamp a large black cat sitting on the floor. She was lapping something from a jar. Then she climbed into a large open bag, like a mattress, almost half filled with cat hair (that’s how many cats had to be killed!), and the owner got out of there.
Looking at all these miracles and transformations unthinkable for the mind of an ordinary person, Alla for some reason was not surprised by them, she understood more clearly than ever that all of this was not tricks or hypnosis, but real things. She realized that she herself could very well master such an art if she agreed to accept the black gift today.
But somewhere inside her, not even in her brain, but rather in her heart, there lived a firm conviction: she would never give them such consent, the witchcraft path was not for her.
- And now you want to fly in a mortar with me? — the witch asked with a mysterious smile.
Alla shivered in fear:
- Afraid...
- Don't be afraid with me! — Aunt Frosya said proudly. “We’ll fly low above the ground... Will we fall and be broken?!” Ha ha ha ha! This is not an airplane! We have no accidents!
And the girl agreed.
“Then undress and anoint yourself from this jar,” the witch ordered, anointing herself. “This is necessary so that your body becomes light as a feather, and so that the stupa accepts you, recognizes you.” Let's fly with you to where the witches gather. My Master will be glad if he sees us together.
Having smeared herself, Alla felt an amazing lightness and weightlessness throughout her body. And at the same time there was no shame that she was undressed. The ointment seemed to hide her nakedness.
Now Alla calmly sat down in the soup, as if she had flown on it many times. She sat down on one end, and her adoptive mother on the other.
The witch took the broom, muttered something in concentration - and the mortar spun counterclockwise, then easily came off the floor. Alla closed her eyes instinctively, although she already understood that they did not need a large hole in the oven to fly out. Now they obeyed some other, unearthly laws.
When Alla opened her eyes, they were already flying in the summer night sky. The flight was not scary at all.
- That's so beautiful! — the girl burst out with sincere admiration.
White houses floated below, flooded with the light of the red moon, so beloved by Aunt Frosya, beautiful lush gardens of dormant villages, and quiet fields.
The air was surprisingly warm and pleasant.
WITCH RACE IN THE NIGHT SKY
But the witch had no time to carelessly admire earthly beauties. She restlessly turned her head around. She sighed, turning to the stupa.
- Supa, stupa - don’t let me down, don’t disgrace me in front of Paraska!
Alla looked back and saw another stupa with a witch, quickly catching up with them. The witch's hair fluttered in a terrible mane. The girl even saw her furiously twisted face. It seems that she shouted something mocking and insulting to them.
The girl also noticed other stupas with Aunt Frosya’s colleagues. Many of them quickly closed the distance, noticeably approaching them, and, apparently, really wanted to overtake them.
- Stupa, don’t let me down! — the sorceress muttered as if she had gone crazy. “Otherwise they will take away my power, and I will be theirs.”
Then she prayed and cried earnestly:
- The master whom I served and will serve even more! Send your servants! I’m bringing today what I promised you. Let others not take my strength, they are too quick today, and just in a moment they will catch up.
Devils suddenly appeared from nowhere, picked up their mortar and carried them forward with a speed ten times faster than before.
The competitors immediately howled, noticeably falling behind. Apparently, it was very important for them to catch up with Aunt Frosya and overtake her. But that night none of them managed to do this.
The witches gathered from different sides, but for Aunt Frosya it was important to win the competition with those who flew after her. The girl was even scared to imagine what a terrible tragedy losing in this race would have turned out for her named mother.
However, this time everything was supposed to end well.
Alla looked at the flying people with interest. Some were helped by small devils, others by one or two big ones, others moved independently, without the help of the unclean.
- The devils help the strong, but not the weak! — the sorceress proudly explained.
During the entire flight, Alla never saw anyone else with such a damn retinue as hers.
And so they reached a large mountain and descended onto a flat area. The girl noted to herself with surprise: the more witches arrived, the larger both the site and the mountain became.
“WHAT ARE YOUR ACTS FOR THE GOOD OF THE OWNER?..”
A well-dressed man of about thirty approached them. One could even call him beautiful. The impression was smeared by a typically pig nose, ending with an elegant snout in the form of a large button. Very elegant ears and horns protruded from the head. In his hands was a massive book and a feather from some kind of black bird. Without dipping it anywhere, he wrote down V a book of reports of all those who arrived. In black there is information about dirty tricks, in red - coming to terms with the light.
-What are your actions? - he asked with polite predatoryness. - Mortals, evil for the benefit of the Master. For drying, love spells. And the most important thing now is to intensify the poisoning and stupefying of mortals with alcohol.
“I brewed twenty liters of moonshine and, except for a half-liter bottle, I’ve already sold it all.” I'll install a new one tomorrow. I do a lot of dirty tricks both to order and to my enemies. Fulfilled all... requests,” Aunt Frosya listed her merits. “Did to enemies... Lived from the world...
“Knowing about your deeds will be a joy for the Master,” the handsome man nodded approvingly, writing down her “merits” in his book. “Today, you are the most evil and evil of all.” The most deserved and the most talented - and let your daughter be proud of you. She too can become the same. By the way, her presence here will be a joy to the Owner...
He called Alla his daughter. And Aunt Frosya was blissful and melted from the clerk’s compliments.
APPEARANCE OF SATAN
Finally everyone gathered. No one, of course, could get here without an invitation. At least from people.
From somewhere came the muffled cry of an eagle owl. The mountain shook, and Alla almost fell to her knees in fear, but some force held her back.
Those present parted, forming something like a horseshoe or crescent.
Suddenly a flame burst out from under the ground, in the hot haze of which vague outlines began to appear. The faces seem to be human, and the figures of devils have tails, horns and hooves on their legs.
Among them, one immediately stood out. A handsome man with an aquiline nose, a wedge beard, Alla did not notice his horns and tail. He didn’t look angry, only the color of his eyes changed terribly. When he was angry, his eyes turned black. I was pleased - they blushed. And they also became green, and yellow, and somehow changeably different: one of this color, the other of a completely different color.
Alla did not notice the little demons in her retinue. All important, large, inflated.
The Master began his speech by criticizing his subordinates. The first to go was a powerful, scary-looking demon with powerful hooves and sharp, shiny horns.
— The demon of anger did not work well. He didn’t quarrel with people much, he didn’t push people against each other a lot. More imagination and ingenuity is needed. More anger and fire. And you witches helped him badly in this. They didn’t add enough, they added it to the “clients.” Throw them more cat and dog hair - let them live in families like cats and dogs, let them bark with their neighbors, and start squabbles at work. However, all the specialists here are experienced and knowledgeable; they understand the importance of the common cause of gaining maximum power over the world.
The Master also gave the demons envy, fornication, greed, rancor, and others.
“IF WE THROW DOWN THE CHURCH, WE WILL CONQUER THE WORLD!”
But the Master praised the demon of the Church. He praised him for his ingenuity, cunning and deceit, for his highly professional meanness and other qualities invaluable in demonic work. He also praised the witches who help this demon. He called on other sorceresses to actively assist him.
“One of the main tasks in destroying the Church,” the Owner emphasized, “is skillful work on the spiritual degradation of priests.” We need to find young, beautiful and talented witches. Introduce them into church choirs or put them on sale for candles, books, all sorts of nonsense. Let them seduce and drunken priests, let them cultivate and instill in them greed for money and everything worldly. All this is very important, but... There is a second, no less serious task for destroying the Church - to repel men from it. The easiest way to do this is through the promotion of total drunkenness. Therefore, the active expansion of moonshine production is a very important matter. We need to do more, get the men drunk as much as possible. The drunk man is mine. He follows my commands much more clearly than when he is sober. There is much more trouble with a sober person; he listens closely to what his guardian angel says. And much more often than a drunk person, he rejects the advice of his personal demon-tempter and various demons.
“The fewer men who go to Church, the easier it will be for us to destroy it!” — the Master formulated the task very clearly. “I’ll tell you frankly, it’s much more difficult for me to cope with them in the Church than with the women.” Therefore, you must help me fight them off from the temple. And I know how to deal with women. I find it easy and pleasant to work with them. On some I will find the demon of fear during prayer. And they will think not about God, but about their children or husband. So that the children don’t get in anywhere, so that the neighbor doesn’t seduce her husband. And they will run from the church without waiting for the end of the service. On others I will send the demon of self-pity, and in church they will begin to remember their sore legs, heart or head, and will begin to crucify God with irritable thoughts and wishes for the boring liturgy to end as soon as possible. I will involve the demons of absent-mindedness, vanity and excessive care, and they will steal and scatter in different directions the remaining attention of the parishioners. They will steal the last crumbs of grace received at the liturgy. Well, the demons of anger, envy and condemnation will do their dirty work: they will cause new conflicts, quarrels and curses among women... So the main thing for us now is to corrupt and weaken the priests and drive the men away from the Church. That’s why we need to concentrate and work with utmost activity in these directions. And we will be able to turn the women around so that they themselves will help us collapse the Church. If we succeed in this, there will be victory in everything else, the whole world will be in our power. So, now is an extremely important moment! The church today is a giant with feet of clay. She is seriously ill, she is reeling from spiritual weakness, from the countless vices of parishioners and priests. Let's help her fall, let's finish her!!! And then the world is completely ours!!!
- Let's help and finish! - there were furious screams from those present. - The world will be ours! The world will be yours, Master! It will be yours completely and irrevocably!
The loud cries of the representatives of the witchcraft elite were very pleasing to Satan. It was clear that he had no doubt that a little more effort and victory would be guaranteed.
The main thing is to overthrow the Church! And then they will arrange a bacchanalia on earth and an eternal feast of the victors! And there will be no one to judge them!
"LOOK FOR ANOTHER!"
Then the Master began to distribute rewards. He had his own approach to each witch (and only female representatives were present here). He waves a golden plumb over one, says something with his heart, lightly hits the third with a stick with a knob in the shape of a head and at the same time utters mysterious words.
Having caught up with Aunt Frosya, he took a golden stick with a circle on top from the tray and tapped it on the entire left side of her body from crown to toe.
Alla saw how Aunt Frosya was literally filled with hot power, literally swelling.
- Oooh, how angry I am! How strong! - she muttered with greedy gulp. “Let everyone be afraid of me now!”
When the Master placed the wand on the tray, the witch said respectfully:
- I brought you a replenishment, Master. As promised...
Satan looked at Alla with bottomless green eyes, calmly but carefully. She felt that this gaze, like an x-ray, illuminated her soul through and through. However, the girl was not at all afraid. For some reason, the most important thing for her now was whether the Master would say words about strengthening or not.
But he said disappointedly:
- No, it's not her. Look for another... - And once again looking carefully at Alla, the Master moved on to the next sorceress.
Having finished with the rewards, he said goodbye to the witches. He thanked them for their faithful service, but also called for greater dedication in their “work.” Then he said goodbye, saying that he was leaving to meet with the male sorcerers.
He stood silently and concentrated in the center of the horseshoe-semicircle. A high flame flared up, and the Master disappeared, as if he had fallen underground with all his strength.
The witches scattered to their homes, no longer organizing races.
AVOIDED A TERRIBLE TRAP
When we approached one village, we saw a fisherman sitting on the bank of a river, who was carefully looking into the night sky. I looked exactly in their direction.
Alla pointed to him to the witch with some fear:
- Look, it seems uncle Pyotr Kashevarov saw us!
“He doesn’t see us,” the sorceress answered calmly. “He’s not allowed to see us now.” And why is none of your business. Now you will never know many secrets. It's my own fault that I refused to follow in my footsteps...
When they had already dressed and left the barn into the yard, the witch muttered without malice, rather in surprise:
- What a fool you have to be to listen to your guardian angel and refuse the gift offered by Satan. You will regret it all your life. However, you will never understand what priceless treasure you gave up today...
She muttered something under her breath for a long time, but without the usual evil and aggression. Alla did not enter into the Discussion. There was quiet joy in her heart that that night she had happily escaped a terrible trap, a deadly trap for her.
For another two years after that, Alla lived with Aunt Frosya and, after graduating from a rural school, she went to study at a school to become a cook.
She was never able to establish a relationship with her own mother: she rejected any attempts by her daughter to reconcile, claiming that it caused her great pain.
DEATH OF THE OLD WITCH
And Alla continued to communicate with Aunt Frosya until her death. She treated her adopted daughter well and during her infrequent visits she even gave some gifts to the children. I was happy to tell Alla about some of my affairs.
The witch chose a proud young woman from their own village as her student. She said that the Owner had found that sorcerer husband to carry out some important witchcraft mission. The young couple went to Moscow and got a job at some church in the capital, almost in the Kremlin itself: she sold candles, he served as a watchman or gardener.
“The Master gives me great strength and health as a reward for my merits, and for such a talented student!” - Aunt Frosya boasted. “You see, I’m already so old, but I’m not sick.”
She lived to be 86 years old. She died very hard. Alla arrived by telegram from her relatives and saw all her suffering. Aunt Frosya’s student also came from Moscow and brought with her a pretty “servant” from another church in the capital. Aunt Frosya passed on her black gift to her, and she immediately felt better.
- That’s how I pleased my Master, that’s how I pleased! - she said with enthusiastic relief to Alla. - Doing such a dirty trick for the Church is the highest merit to him.
She died the day after the transfer of her gift, she died with relief and joy.
THE LATE MOTHER-IN-LAW TAKES ALLA'S HUSBAND WITH HER TO HELL
Alla got married early, at the age of 18, immediately after graduating from college. Her husband was five years older than her and had already served in the army. They loved each other, and everything would have been fine, but... The mother-in-law was caught with a very difficult character. She didn’t want her son to get married, she cursed the young people.
In addition, she, apparently, also practiced witchcraft, or at least knew magic very well.
Alla’s husband didn’t tell Alla the whole truth (and, perhaps, he himself didn’t know everything), but he said right away that their mother wouldn’t let them live here, it was better to move away. That's why they went to Kamchatka. However, the young couple was strongly drawn to their homeland, and after the birth of two children (a boy and a girl), they returned to their native land. True, out of precaution we settled in another area. But still they communicated with their mother-in-law and with Alla’s named mother (she was still living).
Before her death, the mother-in-law was seriously ill, and dying, she promised:
- I won’t leave it to you anyway. I’ll get you “from there” anywhere. Either to Kamchatka or to America...
Alla's husband treated these words as a powerless threat from a mother who was evil in nature. He asked his wife not to attach serious importance to them and not to hold a grudge against the dying woman. Alla didn’t hold a grudge, but she immediately realized that this was not an empty threat. Therefore, I now prayed every day more than usual. And her husband just waved her off when she asked him to pray with her.
On the fortieth day after the death of his mother, he was not feeling well, he lay down on his bed to rest. And suddenly I saw my mother standing next to the bed.
- I came to you from hell! - she declared and ordered harshly. “Get up, come with me!” What, do not you want?! I knew about this and brought with me whoever I needed...
He never saw who exactly the deceased woman brought with her, but he felt someone else’s presence pressing on his soul. I called Alla, told her everything and immediately felt a sharp weakness. Soon he lost consciousness. The wife called an ambulance. The patient was given an injection. He came to his senses and muttered in fright:
- She's here somewhere. She hid, I feel her presence...
“Pray, be baptized!” Alla begged her husband. “Then the deceased will not have power over you.”
As soon as the husband wanted to cross himself, his right arm became paralyzed.
The arm fell like a powerless lash along the body. Alla was convinced with her own eyes of the truly destructive power of those invisible forces that came with the deceased from hell. And at the same time, the woman felt that she herself, protected by the grace of daily prayer and trust in the will of God, could not cause any harm. Although we would really like to fulfill the wish of the late mother-in-law to break her spiritually and physically disliked daughter-in-law. Better yet, take her with you to hell. But they did not have such power. And Allah was amazed at the great power of faith and prayer.
- Pray! Repeat after me! — she did not give up. “Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
But the very first syllable of the prayer got stuck in the husband’s throat and he lost his tongue.
Alla understood that this did not at all demonstrate the weakness of prayer in the face of the pressure of dark forces. No! This was a consequence of the vulnerability of the human soul, not purified and not strengthened by true faith, its fragility and weakness before the cunning of evil...
- Repeat the prayer mentally! - Alla urged her husband, she did not want to lose her last hope.
But then another spasm passed through his body, and from the gesture of her husband over his ear, the poor woman understood: now his hearing had also failed. Alla was horrified by the power of satanic forces over the soul and body of an unbeliever. I saw with stunning clarity what irreparable harm unbelief and atheism brings to people.
They say that it is never too late to come to faith in God and turn to Him for help and protection. Using the example of her husband, Alla was convinced that, unfortunately, sometimes it is still too late. How many times did she invite him to turn to the Lord, but he blithely rejected this path. The terrible consequences of such carelessness were now evident...
On the third day, the husband died. The deceased mother kept her word and took her son with her to hell. This means that it was very important for her to have his obedient soul next to her. For this she received the appropriate “strengthening” there. And the son’s soul ended up in hell as an unfortunate sufferer.
The power of ancestral sins and the power of the ancestral program breaks only with God’s help, which is directly proportional to the degree of our faith and also entrusting ourselves to the will of the Lord.
Alla’s husband had no other way of salvation. Unfortunately, he did not want to understand this.
So what now? Is it really possible that a lost soul will forever suffer in hell due to its delusions and grave sins of its own mother, who, in fact, betrayed her son?
No, of course not. The prayers of loved ones can help the deceased. First of all, wives, children, grandchildren.
In this case, the wife had to pray for the suffering soul of the husband.
Alla got married only a few years later, when she became a grandmother.
THE POWER OF THE DECEASED WITCH OVER THE SOUL AND FAMILY OF THE ADOPTED DAUGHTER
Alla's second husband was a childless widower. He drank with his first wife until she died. By nature he was a kind, caring, hard-working person. But in the first years of his life together with Alla, he could not give up drinking, although he promised more than once. This darkened their relationship. If he had fought, gotten into a row because he was drunk, Alla would have simply separated from him. However, he was not aggressive and drowsy when he drank.
But Alla became aggressive, angry and irritable. In addition, she learned to swear.
And then her deceased adoptive mother, a witch, began to come to her. She came at night during the hours of insomnia. She stood near the bed and talked to Alla.
“Before, they wouldn’t let me see you,” the deceased witch admitted. “Before, you were more protected.” And now that you have become angry and psychotic, when you swear like a man, I can come to you freely. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and now it has finally arrived. It had to come. Just don’t think, my dear, that I missed you very much. Not at all. I have never suffered from such nonsense in my life. Now I have incomparably more opportunities than before. Think for yourself: now I “from there” see through any soul and can destroy any, or, more precisely, almost any. I select my students from among those living on earth, also “from there,” it’s more reliable. There is plenty of other work. How many have I seduced into fornication, pride, and other sins! So many of my new merits and deeds are recorded by the Master! And now I’m fed up with you too. I will be given special rewards for working with you. When you “do” something especially close, it is valued here at a special rate, or... he-he-he, as it is correct - a price list, right? What, were you very scared? I won’t touch you, don’t be afraid! I will get you through your children. Do you remember what I promised you before I died? The most vulnerable place in your family is your daughter. She has a lot of anger, and even more envy. It is because of envy that I will destroy her. For what? Weird girl! I explained to you about the special rewards. Well and. The main thing is that this is my job, which I love and from which I receive incomparable joy and pleasure. You still won’t understand this - you refused to follow in my footsteps. And you have to pay for everything in this life, didn’t you know? As you can see, I am extremely frank with you and hide almost nothing. Well, okay, I have to go. You and I will see each other often now...
THE WITCH HIT THE MOST VULNERABLE POINT, REACHING EVEN FROM THE OTHER WORLD
Alla Vladimirovna’s daughter, Daria, has recently become more frequent with her husband on drinking and partying. Her husband worked as a site manager at a mine, and they lived well financially. And yet, during drunken gatherings with her superiors, insidious envy slowly crept into Daria’s soul. I wanted the same furniture as some, the same outfits as others, the same prosperity as others, the same beautiful “foreign car” as others. And then followed an insatiable thirst for forbidden pleasures, narcissism, and an as yet unconscious craving for fornication.
- What, mom, am I really beautiful? — the daughter once asked Alla Vladimirovna, spinning in front of the mirror.
-Who told you this? - the mother was wary.
- Yes, men speak in companies, and different ones.
- Do not pay attention! - the mother snapped. “Don’t you know for what purpose they say all this?” And then they will achieve their goal and ring the bell all over the city. And why do you need their compliments when you have a good family: husband and children? Why do you even need these drinking parties? So close to fornication. And where there is fornication, there are scandals in the family, or even worse. Give up this slippery business. Better pray for yourself, your children and your husband.
But the daughter only chuckled or waved it off carelessly.
While Daria was smugly looking at herself in the mirror, melting from the adoration of drunken fans, while she nagged her husband, enviously remembering other people’s headsets, she did not notice how she had crossed the dangerous line of tediousness. And in the end, she only made the task easier for a more cunning and younger competitor, who ultimately stole her husband from her.
The husband secretly paid off and only before leaving admitted that he was leaving with a certain lady to live in another city. Three children were abandoned. The nine-year-old boy, who was his father’s favorite and who loved his father very much, suffered especially.
However, even after this, Daria did not pray and ask for God’s help. She began to drink even more, increasingly feeling disappointed in life and even disgusted with it. Of course, all the fans were blown away by the wind.
And then one day Daria took pills with the intention of poisoning herself. They managed to save her at the hospital. The daughter told Alla Vladimirovna that in the hospital a young lady, dressed in pre-war style, came to her several times at night and promised to destroy her. She threatened that her husband would never return to her. According to all the descriptions, it turned out that it was a young aunt Frosya.
Daria never turned to God. And her children pray with their grandmother for both their mother’s recovery and their father’s return.
Alla Vladimirovna’s son once went to visit his son-in-law and took with him a little boy, his father’s favorite. The boy cried and begged his father to come home. The father refused and told his son-in-law not to bring him his son again, otherwise the boy would greatly upset him.
Daria's husband now works as a simple engineer. The salary is small, and besides, he pays child support for three children. All this, of course, does not like his young wife, and she increasingly creates scandals for him, little by little revealing her predatory true nature.
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN NOT TO BE BAD AT YOUR ENEMIES, BUT BE SURE TO FORGIVE THEM
Daria's husband realized his mistake, but did not return to the family. At some point, the inevitable happened: the children harbored a grudge against the “homewrecker” and began to envy other, quite prosperous children. Alla Vladimirovna immediately sensed the danger and began to explain to her grandchildren (during their mother’s stay in the hospital they lived with their grandmother) that they needed to break themselves and forgive the woman who took their father away from them. Otherwise, demons will enter them, and then dad will certainly remain with the “alien aunt” forever.
The children took turns coming to their mother and teaching her to slowly pray for the forgiveness of all sins and the return home of her husband, that is, their father. And Daria gradually became stronger, strengthened spiritually and physically.
The youngest grandson once confessed to his grandmother:
“Now that I started praying, I don’t want to run out into the street.” There the demons strongly tempt you: they call you to fight, to leave stones, and to do some dirty tricks or stupid things. I’d rather pray, sit near the icon, think...
There was not just a spiritual cleansing of the little man, but also his spiritual healing and transformation.
When Alla Vladimirovna’s son last visited his son-in-law, he noticed that the relationship between Victor (that was his father’s name) and his young wife had worsened even more. She has already frankly stated that he does not suit her either financially or in bed, and that if she finds a suitable candidate, she will definitely break up with him. But Victor seemed to become inhibited and did not dare to break up with her first.
Alla Vladimirovna’s son directly told him that everyone was waiting for him at home, that they loved him very much there, they promised not to reproach him for anything, and asked him to come back.
But false pride still did not allow Victor to admit that he was wrong.
Alla Vladimirovna prayed fervently after such encouraging news and asked God for guidance on what they should all do next.
Soon she saw a white old man she knew, who said that she needed to choose a good day when the angel would stand at the gate. Let it be God's holiday or the day of the angel of one of the members of Daria's family. It would be good to pray before the trip, trust in the will of the Lord, ask for the intercession of the Queen of Heaven and the help of all the saints in the good work of uniting the family.
The old man did not give them any advice on choosing a specific day; they had to make the choice themselves. We suggested to Alla Vladimirovna that it is best to check it according to the church calendar.
And I believe that with God’s help the family reunification will take place. By the way, after the first visit of the deceased witch, Alla Vladimirovna changed a lot in her behavior and relationships with loved ones.
First of all, she resolutely abandoned swearing and scandals.
She suggested to her husband: either he stops drinking, or they break up.
And what do you think? With God's help, the husband overcame the craving for drinking: he prayed for strength, took some pills and now he doesn’t put this nasty thing in his mouth. Although he had tried more than once before to drown out the destructive passion for libations in a variety of ways, but everything was unsuccessful.
The grandchildren became so attached to their step-grandfather, they loved him so much that it was fitting for Grandmother Alla to envy her husband (in the best sense of the word, of course), and the childless elderly man, who had previously not known parental emotions, paid the children with generous and reckless feelings. He confessed to Alla Vladimirovna more than once that he had never loved anyone in his life as much as Daria’s chirps, especially her youngest angel.
ABOUT THE GREAT DANGER OF UNBELIEF
In one of the last night conversations with the late aunt Frosya, Alla Vladimirovna said:
“I thought that you had already gone through hell over the years and turned to God.”
And in response I heard:
“The Master doesn’t give everyone to God... The weak come to God,” she unexpectedly added. “But I am strong and the Master needs me.” He will never give me up to God...
The deceased sorceress had no idea that her boss, the father of lies, was given the right only for a certain time to keep the souls of fallen people. Sooner or later, they will still have to go to hell to be tormented to answer for their own sins. Moreover, the days of the reign of the prince of darkness, as the master of the underworld is also called, is nearing its end. Soon the devil himself will have to sink to the very bottom of hell to atone for everything he has done.
Alla Vladimirovna remembered for the rest of her life how her first husband suffered from his lack of faith, because this was the main reason why the spirits of evil who came with her late mother-in-law were able to take him to hell. If he had been a sincere believer, the demons would not have done anything to him. — .
And that’s why she felt so bitter when she heard the fatal phrase from her work colleagues or neighbors:
“I don’t believe in God or the devil.” If you don’t help yourself, then no one will help you in this cruel life!
- Now cross yourself and ask God for forgiveness! - Alla Vladimirovna said sternly with sincere fear for such a person. “You don’t even realize the enormous danger to which you expose yourself with such lack of faith.” After all, you, in fact, voluntarily refuse God's protection in various unforeseen trials.
Someone looks at her like she’s crazy, someone listens to her and sees the light. In any case, each of her interlocutors makes their choice at this very important moment. As a rule, without even realizing how much it influences both his earthly destiny and his posthumous existence.
Indeed, because of a person’s conscious lack of faith, his guardian angel retreats from him in powerlessness. But it’s not for nothing that popular wisdom says: “A holy place is never empty...”
Indeed, the place of the angel forced to retreat (essentially, driven out by a person’s unbelief) is immediately taken by the demon of evil and begins his dirty work of destroying the soul and ultimately leading it to destruction.
We have already said that this particular work manifests itself in various kinds of temptations of the soul: from envy and condemnation to drunkenness and fornication. They blame anyone for their troubles - from their neighbor to the Creator. But not yourself, beloved and unhappy.
Unfortunately, many people to this day do not want to admit that all our troubles, misfortunes and illnesses, as well as other troubles that happen in this life, are rooted in our personal and family sins. And many more do not want to understand that God often endures for a long time and, sparing his unreasonable child, saves him from the dark plans of evil spirits, weakening the power of punishment and blow inflicted on a person of little faith and pride for all his sins.
But one cannot endlessly and carelessly test the Lord’s patience!
May God grant each of us to see the light in this world while we live here on earth...

Do you not believe in the existence of witches and black magicians? Articles, facts and frightening eyewitness stories presented on our website will convince you that such people live among us.
Witch – comes from the ancient word “veda”, which means knowledge. It can be assumed that a witch is a woman who has some deep knowledge that is inaccessible to an ordinary person. A modern witch looks like an ordinary person, it is impossible to distinguish her among hundreds of passers-by. True, many say that it is very difficult for such women to look into the eyes - their gaze seems to suck out energy and all human strength.
Unfortunately, many of us do not have a very good idea of what a witch or sorcerer is. Black magicians are not gods, not spirits, not creatures from the other world, but people endowed with special energy. They don't need to be believed, they don't need to be worshiped, they just are. And also, they are not necessarily evil, but all witches and wizards, as one, say that they hate weaklings and liars.
