Witches’ sabbath


They are frequently portrayed as old women who possess great knowledge about black magic. They are depicted mounted on broomsticks, the most popular way to travel to their venues.

Aparecem inúmeras vezes representadas como mulheres velhas possuidoras de conhecimentos de magia negra. Surgem igualmente montadas em vassouras voadoras, a mais conhecida forma de deslocação para os locais de encontro.
