Häxan: A Feitiçaria Através dos Tempos
Jeweler's Assistant
Explora as origens da feitiçaria e do satanismo através dos séculos, desde a antiguidade até os tempos modernos. Mistura imagens reais com encenações ao longo de sete capítulos. Mostra a intolerância da Igreja Católica frente aos mitos mágicos, e como ela "resolvia" esses problemas. No final, há a comparação entre o comportamento histérico das mulheres contemporâneas (1921) com o das bruxas da Idade Média, e a conclusão é que ele é bem parecido.
