saying anything.

This time she told the truth.

Then the wisest thing -

is to leave this between us two.

This is a terrible mistake.

Canon Episcopi?

Is this about witchcraft?

That everything is just dreams?

Does your son know about this?

- Yes.

We have argued about it many times.

I have made a big mistake.

It is impossible to rectify.

I must ask for your permission

to leave this island.

A big mistake.

What're you up to'!

I'm doing a good deed

to an innocent soul.

Rakel's little girl has

not been baptized.

It must be done.

In the name of the Father...

The Father, and the Son and...

The Father...

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

I christen you -

Iliana. -Anna.

Anna Iliana.

I christen you Anna Iliana.

In the name of the Father,

of the Son -

and of the Holy Ghost.

Imagine if they're

all just daydreams.

What do you say?

Who is so stupid and foolish

as to think-

that all these things done in

the spirit are done in the body?

Whoever believes in such things

loses the Faith and is not of God -

but of him in whom he believes,

that is the devil. Canon Episcopi.

Written by an ignorant and aberrant

monk hundreds of years ago!

Rakel Larsdaughter has confessed -

and has been proven to be guilty

of the use of black magic -

for her own and the devil's benefit.

Therefore she will,

according to the Mosaic Law...

I want to confess.

I denounced Rakel Larsdaughter

on false grounds.

Do you confess this in all honesty?

Yes. I do.

Then the court must find out-

if the devil has led

this person to do so.

Anna Eriksdaughter

will be arrested -

for interrogation and investigation.

I will handle this myself.

Certainly.

Anna, you can still

change your confession -

concerning Rakel Larsdaughter.

Get up.

This is an official interrogation.

Get up!

You will now tell me -

all your secrets.

What's it like to

fly on those beasts?

Do you turn into an animal, too?

What does it feel like

to meet the devil?

When he lays with you?

You feel lust? Tell me!

Tell me!

I don't know you any more.

I am the District Judge,

a man of the law.

In front of God, our king

has assigned me the duty -

to uncover all devil's deeds

until my dying day.

Future generations will read

about it in the chronicles.

Chronicles never lie.

FLORA OF SWEDEN:

Several witnesses have told -

that the accused has used the lore

received from her foster mother-

the witch Valborg,

banished from this island.

Anna has used black magic

in unnatural way -

to heal sicknesses and bring

good luck with cattle.

The accused has also been close

to the beggar woman Karin -

already proven to be a witch.

Finally, she has boasted

of being able to walk on water.

What does the accused

Anna Eriksdaughter have to say?

Your Honour.

The devil wouldn't be the devil

if he were easy to recognize.

The devil blinds you with

his glamour, touches you -

fills you with magnificent strength.

Makes you howl like a b*tch,

until you're ready to fly.

That is what the devil can do.

Isn't it so, Honoured Judge?

I am guilty of all the things

mentioned here.

And of an even worse sin.

I have borne false witness

against an innocent woman.

Rakel is innocent.

- She has confessed her sins.

Then it is the devil's handiwork.

I know it, for I did

all the evil deeds -

in the name of

Rakel Larsdaughter.

Jurors have decided that

Anna Eriksdaughter -

is guilty of practising witchcraft

in Rakel Larsdaughter's name -

thus endangering the whole village.

She is sentenced to death

according to God's Law:

Exodus 22:
18.

Rakel Larsdaughter will be set free.

Murderer!

I will fetch her myself.

The body of Christ.

The blood of Christ.

My beloved -

esteemed parishioners.

A great day for Christianity!

Anna!

Anna!

Anna Iliana!

Mother, tell me again

what happened to Big Anna.

It was our Reverend!

He raped Gertrud -

and destroyed her life!

- You murder innocent women!

And of many others, including mine!

Water has turned into wine.

A miracle!

You dyed the water red -

fooled the Reverend and saved Anna!

Set her free!

Set her free!

She moved to Stockholm,

become rich and famous.

Everyone admired her as

the best healer ever, right?

To Anna Iliana.

Lovage.

A perennial,

flowers in July-August -

with pale yellow...'

"...shiny with two or three umbels.

The stem is long.'

Come.

DEDICATED TO THE EXECUTED

Nils Psilander acted

as the land Circuit Judge -

until his death in 1682.

There were no more executions for

witchcraft during his term in office.

In continental Sweden, witch hunts

blazed up in Dalsland in 1668 -

spreading from there to Stockholm.

By 1676, approximately 400 people -

were sentenced to death

for witchcraft.
