Аннотация
Historical and modern examples of superstitious political propaganda are given. It is shown how Catholic Church, Russian Caesardom and bourgeois families blamed heretics, Jews and pedophiles for Satanic ritual abuse against children in order to justify inquisitional, black-hundredth and parental terrors. It is demonstrated with an example of Kanalratten Commune.

Not only heretics were blamed for witchcraft, but also contrariwise. Catholic Church apprehended new heretic revolutions, and started hunting village quacks for their weird rituals considered as new cults, as heresies. Tenths of Arras victims in 1460s blamed for Witches' Sabbaths were called Valdenses though none of them knew who Peter Valdes was. Sabbaths were parties for witches and devils with orgies, decomposed refreshments, bloody sacrifices, worshipping Satan. In other to attend a Sabbath the witch would make cracklings from babies on a copper pan and collect the babies' fat in order to produce ointment ("De praestigiis daemonum", 1564), spread the ointment on her body, say: "Oben auss und nirgends an", and levitate right to the place of Sabbath (f. i., Mountain Brocken). There Satan would incarnate as a huge black goat and make witches burn him to get poisoning ashes. In 16th century Magdalene Bavane confessed to the Inquisition that she had participated in Satanic messes where witches' babies had been killed and torn to pieces. And so on.
