Episode 55: Back to the Demon Semen

Saints & Witches

We’re back with a vengeance this week, talking all things medieval French insanity! We begin with Marguerite Porete, the French-Belgian beguine whose book rocked the entire Holy Roman Empire. Then, we discuss the 1609 Labourd witch-hunt and its judge, Pierre de Lancre, who, among other contemporary witch-hunters and theologians, had an unfortunate but familiar obsession with the devil’s penis.
