Figure 4. An engraving of witches, traditionally titled Witches' Sabbath, by the German artist Hans Baldung Grien (c. 1484–1545 CE). Two women are shown in the act of anointing themselves from the pot, probably containing flying ointment in the center of the print. The goats and cats in the woodcut were witches familiars (an attendant spirit or demon to obey the command or serve the pleasure of the witch, often taking animal form) and also symbols of lust.
