As with most aspects of Witchcraft the Sabbats, or assemblies at which Witches meet on certain days of the year, have been distorted by Christianity. Most of these distortions evolved out of the Witch Hunts which occurred during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The sabbats were depicted as meetings where obscene behavior occurred such as worshiping and copulating with the Devil after a session of dancing, merry making and feasting on a fowl, animal or unbaptized babies, a Witch's Initiation.
