Las brujas y el inquisidor

In 1609 several people are accused of witchcraft in the Navarrese village of Zugarramurdi. What seemed like a one-off, unimportant episode is acquiring unusual virulence. Under these circumstances, the Inquisitor General Bernardo de Sandoval sent Alonso de Salazar y Frías to Logroño, headquarters of the Holy Office. It's not just witchcraft, the evil eye, night flights or carnal dealings with Lucifer: there are those who confess to heinous murders and the systematic use of children as acolytes of the Big Bastard. But why this epidemic now with its epicenter in a village near the French border? Is witchcraft a mirror reflecting conflicts and varied interests, many of which have nothing to do with the devil?
