Witches had many names, but they were called "Sorginak" in the Basque Country, in northern Spain. It is there where if you enter the numerous caves that can be found in the Basque mountains, their voices are still heard, lost in time. After drinking their concoctions made out of a mix of several psychedelic plants, they grabbed their brooms, and yelled : " Above all the brambles, Below all the clouds!" as the spell that would allow them to fly to the location of the sabbath were they would join other witches. They were chased down, tortured and killed, but their legend is very much alive.
