Daily remainder that the Spanish Inquisition didn't prosecute witches (in fact, it stated that witchcraft and magic was an impossible feat), and their punishments were usually less severe than the ones from King's tribunals.

What's with the Basque?
Strange, always thought Sweden was worse compared to other countries and that Germany was much worse.

When the whole Witch prosecution began, it was the first place in Spain where someone started accusing others of Witchcraft. A few moron Inquisitors took it seriously and burned a few people. Then the real Inquisitors came and shut the whole thing down. They did some more examination, but they discovered that witchcraft wasn't a thing and that burning people because of that was retarded.

I also noticed the Celts generally don't seem to give a shit about witchcraft, yet wasn't that part of their pagan beliefs incorporated partly into their Christian beliefs?
>>892939
*tips*
>>892939
Why would it be any more incoperated for the Celts than all the other Christian post-pagan peoples of Europe?
Ireland had been Christian for far longer than the English and Scottish, so the Pagan influence should logically be smaller there.

I don't get what's so fedora about that, I'm just asking a genuine question.
>>892939
Why is the north side of the Alps so anti-witch whilst Italy and the rest of Germany doesn't seem to care so much?
>>892911
>Even the Teutonic Order never had witch trials
Protestants confirmed shit
>>892947
It was just an assumption I made, I didn't know if I was correct or not
>>892952
Oh, sorry.
The Fundie Christians are getting at me, totally gonna blame that for this one.
Spanish Inquisition was just them making sure the Moors that stayed behind and "converted" to Christianity; were not still secretly Muslims.
Fucking bullshit, the very first line in the malleus maleficarum is about how it's heretical to believe witches don't exist.
I know this because it amuses me to spam walls of text from the mm

It was written by a German, that's all you need to know.

You mean this book which was condemned three years after its publication by the Catholic Church?
As I understand it the red stuff in Scotland was mostly down to this guy

tell me about the witch hunts in Hungary and Sweden.
>>894714
Hungary is interesting for that one of the early kings made a law regarding witches
>King Kálmán (Coloman) of Hungary, in Decree 57 of his First Legislative Book (published in 1100 AD), banned witch hunting because he said, "witches do not exist".
And only in the 18th century did a major withchunt spark with some notable cases like the witch trials of Szeged:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szeged_witch_trials
>The witch trial was instigated by the authorities, which decided on this measure to remove the problem of the public complaints about the drought and its consequences of famine and epidemics by laying the responsibility on people among them, which had fraternized with the Devil.
Who is the most famus witch?

Sweden was a fucking tragedy because NOBODY wanted to stop and consider the fact that little boy was a lying sack of shit

IIRC there was hysteria over vampires in the Balkans

yes, but they were ebil catholics

Reminder that Geneva under Calvin was basically a totalitarian theocracy where anyone he didn't like was liable to be burned at the stake.

witchcraft was never a big thing here and it has fuck all to do with paganism. We'd blame fairies for everything instead.

Catholics used accusations for witchcraft to get rid of competition(protestants), if there was no competition or freedom of religion was guaranteed, they didn't burn at all.

It's frankly shocking how clearly this map lines up with political and cultural borders.
Is it really that harsh, or was the map maker lazy?

Any good book to read about Spanish Inquisition?
>>898689
>Is it really that harsh
It kinda is, considering witch burnings in Europe were more of a judicial process rather than a straight up mob lynching, so it required government backing to proceed.
So they only happened where the law allowed it.

>Catholics used accusations for witchcraft to get rid of competition(protestants)
The fuck?! Proddies were the burnmasters par excellence.
