ESOTERICA | Demonic Possession, Sorcery & Satanic Pacts - Witchcraft and Exorcism in 17th Century Loudon France @TheEsotericaChannel | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
The Witchcraft trials began to mutate in the early 17th century. Most strikingly they came to be accompanied by widespread, mass demonic possession. This was especially prevalent in France with the possessions at Loudon from 1634-1637. As a convent of nuns became afflicted with a host of demons, they also implicated the dashing priest Urbain Grandier of sorcery. His sensational trial would produce one of the very few historical Satanic Pacts all resulting in his being burned alive in 1634. The possession and public exorcisms would go on until 1637 when the final Nun to be freed of demonic influence received a miraculous imprint on her hand. But, was this all just a stunt to have Grandier murdered? Did demons and sorcerers stalk 17th Loudon, France?
