    My fam is Friulian and it's so nice to see more people sharing info about our history. It's such a small group no one really seems to care about. Thank you

    Read his book The Night Battles years ago. Really worth it.

    Absolutely one of the most fascinating topics on the history of witchcraft. Very interesting to read also his other book about witchcraft.

      @@AbandonedVoid True! My teacher didn't know his mother was Natalia Ginzburg and his father assassinated by the Fascists. I looked him up, and read her _Family Lexicon_ ( So great!) But _The Night Battles_ was fascinating. I quoted him, many times in my papers! Plus I have fennel!

    Fascinating set of discoveries. It causes problems for the theory that witch cult was imaginary(existing only in the minds of the Inquisitors etc) and not based on any existing groups. Also poses questions about the actual possibility of out-of-body experiences. collective delusions etc. Very interesting and confusing...

      Out of bodies are certainly possible. They may not represent another layer of reality, I leave that for you to decide. But I can attest that, phenomenally speaking, they are a reality. Perhaps you meant by the 'actual possibility of out-of-body experiences' the implications of the phenomenon, in which case I apologize for my irrelevant reply.

      Not really, as Ginzburg explains there's a Stark difference between the Murraist theory of "Witch Cult" as some organized counter religion that had actual real life rites, functions, priesthood and the natural corpus of folklore and belief that survives in a disorganized way through story telling and immersion in the shared everyday beliefs of the community, these people didn't organize themselves know one another or spread their "gospel" if not in the most familiar and limited way possible, they simply dreamed of these events, Ginzburg never claims anything but, they believed that you have such experiences while sleeping thus they did, it's a relatively common occurrance, It happened me many times to dream of things I was obsessing over (exams, bureaucratic problems, etc), or of things I strongly hoped or feared would happen, this is no different.
      It's a subtle distinction and it doesn't neatly fit in the binary Witch Cult yes or no vision of things, and this is why some few personages in academia are so needlessly hostile towards Ginzburg's work, but academia isn't the domain of approximation.

    Born in the amniotic sack? What does he mean by that

      It is rare, but it can happen that the baby is born inside the amniotic sac intact, the sac does not rupture until the doctor does. It's called en caul birth.

    This is a 17 minute ad for someones book and almost no interesting or useful information is conveyed, he speaks mostly about his profession and the interest of his discoveries, without enlightening the user to what those discoveries entail. He is like the master of bullshit in Italian. He just talked in circles for 17 minutes and it's pretty obnoxious that he sounds like he's going somewhere and then never achieves a result.

      He is one of the greatest historians alive my friend. I'd advise you to read his works before saying those...
