Trivia
Akelarre is the Basque term for Witches' Sabbath, the meeting place that witches hold their meetings. Akerra, too, in the Basque language, means goat, as Witches' sabbaths were presided over by a goat. The word is used in Castilian Spanish that uses the spelling Aquelarre.

Witches Beware

Here is a film based on the Spanish Inquisition in the 1600's. A judge arrives at a small fishing village and with his cohorts interrogates young woman with accusations of witchcraft. The nuns at my Catholic school failed to mention this unsavory part of our history. Religion in all forms can be used in dangerous ways. The women here are tortured to the point of confessing to relations with the devil. The atmosphere is historically accurate and the actors are good. It will not restore your faith in humanity or religion, but it is a worthwhile viewing.
