The witch, Guilimette Babin dancing naked around a cauldron with demons, during a Sabbat. Lithographic plate from the witchcraft book, based on the trials of the witchhunter Bodin, 'La Vie Execrable to Gullimette Babin'. Witchcraft - The Sabbat - Design by Zuber, to M Carron's La Vie Execrable de Guillemette Babin, Sorciere, 1926. Sadly, the story of Guillemette's downfall, though romanticised in this book, is true: it was told in Jean Bodin's Demonomanie, 1580. Bodin was responsible for her trial: she was condemned and burned to death at Poitiers in 1564.
