Depiction of witches concocting flying ointment for the sabbat,
climbing a tree and riding a flying goat. Hans Baldung Grien, 1514.

Burning of three women accused of witchcraft at Derneburg, October 1555.
Note the flying serpent with the big knockers. In the background another man/executioner is about to lop off a woman's head with his sword.

Hanging of three women accused of witchcraft in Chelmsford, England, 1589. The first of four major Chelmsford trials began in 1566 under Queen Elizabeth, whose Parliament increased penalties for witchcraft, adding to them a death sentence if the witchcraft caused death. Of the 38 accused in these trials, 17 were hanged, six reprieved, four died in prison, 2 were acquitted.
Might these three hanged women have been Elizabeth Francis, Alice Nokes, and Ellen Smith? And what are these creatures named Jack and Gill?.

Albrecht Dürer's depiction of a witch riding a goat (the Christian devil)
to Walpurgisnacht sabbat, goaded by amoretti.
Even well-educated artists jumped on the woman-hating bandwagon and
participated in the portrayal of witches as gnarly old crabs with frightening powers.

Mass Executions of Haarlemites as Devil-worshippers, under Fernando Alvarez de Toledo, Duke of Alba, after conquest of Haarlem, 1573. Michael Aistinger, De leone Belgico.
