Spring has just begun and already there’s an invitation to a ‘BBQ’ hosted by the Spanish Inquisition.
While His Holiness packs the Soylent Green marinade, one can pack Glagnar’s Human Rinds for a snack on the way there.

Trump to Japanese PM: "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Ok, why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?". Pretty awful.
But if this had been Trump telling the Spanish PM: "Who knows better about surprise than Spain? Ok, why didn’t you tell me about the Spanish Inquisition?". That would have been legendary.
When asked by a reporter about why the U.S. didn't share their Iran war plans with Japan, President Donald Trump said it was necessary for the element of surprise. The president followed this with a joke, saying, "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Ok, why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

One of their strengths is in the #history of #witchcraft, including translated primary sources and this wonderful book on the #WitchHunt in the #Basque region of Spain. Yes, you should expect the #SpanishInquisition, but also skepticism (from the Spanish Inquisition), the rare phenomenon of child #witches, and how local beliefs and connections shaped the experiences of the villagers in the middle of the storm. Based on fresh readings of the trial records and new archival material - yes, #historians are still making new discoveries!

This book revises what we thought we knew about one of the most famous witch hunts in European history. Between 1608 and 1614, thousands of witchcraft accusations were leveled against men, women, and children in the northern Spanish kingdom of Navarre. The Inquisition intervened quickly but incompetently, and the denunciations continued to accelerate. As the phenomenon spread, children began to play a crucial role. Not only were they reportedly victims of the witches’ harmful magic, but hundreds of them also insisted that witches were taking them to the Devil’s gatherings against their will.
