Witches were also often accused of attending a sabbat. Sabbats were an inversion of what was right and proper foir Christians at the time. The ‘Compendium Maleficarum,’ published in 1608, contains several images of sabbat. These show witches stamping on the cross, performing mock baptisms, kissing Satan’s buttocks, cooking and eating unbaptized children, and engaging in other “ecxecrable abominations” ~ Page 122
