Oak Of The Witches: According to one local legend, witches once gathered around the 600-year-old oak. They danced wildly atop its knotty branches, using the plant as a theater for their chants and ceremonies. It seems that their rituals stunted the tree’s growth and deformed its shape, causing it to reach outward rather than upward. Source
20 minute drive from the Oak of Witches to Lucca....
Witchcraft in the area?
Sure why not.
Another House explosion this time in Italy - Gas or Witchcraft?
2 dead, 3 hurt, 1 missing in Lucca home blast
(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 27 - Two people were killed and three injured by an explosion in a house in Lucca in Tuscany on Thursday, with one person missing, police said.
The explosion, believed to have been caused by a gas leak, left a 60-year-old couple dead, a pregnant woman pulled from the rubble seriously injured but alive, and two lorry drivers who were driving past at the moment of the blast taken to hospital in code white.
The couple's 17-year-old daughter is missing. (ANSA).

I've posted before on noonday devil explosions - explosions occurring at the noon hour- there have been a lot of them over the last two years. I've also posted about witches and house explosions and fires.
First on the noonday devil:
NOONDAY DEVIL
The term Noonday Demon (also Noonday Devil, Demon of Noontide, Midday Demon or Meridian Demon) is used as a personification and synonym for acedia. It indicates a demonic figure thought to be active at the noon hour which inclines its victims (usually monastics) to restlessness, excitability and inattention to one's duties.
It comes from biblical sources: Psalm 91:6 of the Hebrew Bible reads "mi-ketev yashud tsohorayim": from destruction that despoils at midday. This phrase was translated into Alexandrian Greek in the Septuagint into. "apo pragmatos diaporeuomenou en skotei apo symptwmatos kai daimoniou mesembrinou" ([you need not fear] the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.). In the Vulgate, Jerome's translation of the Septuagint into Latin, we can find a personification in the daemonium meridianum ("Non timebis . . . ab incursu et daemonio meridiano"). This demonic personification is kept in the Catholic Douay-Rheims translation of the Old Testament of 1609 (Psalms 90:6). An exception is King James Version of 1611, where the translation follows the Hebrew: “the destruction that wasteth at noonday”. The Orthodox Study Bible confirms the understanding of Saint Jerome and translates Psalm 91:6 as "Nor by a thing moving in darkness, Nor by mishap and a demon of noonday." Holman reported that an Aramaic paraphrasing text in the Dead Sea Scrolls of this Psalm from the first century speaks of demons and spiritual warfare as the Latin and Greek translations did.
In the writings of Evagrius Ponticus, a Christian monk and ascetic, the Noonday Demon is specifically responsible for acedia, which he describes as "daemon qui etiam meridianus vocatur", attacking the cenobites most frequently between the hours of ten and two. It caused a sentiment characterized by exhaustion, listlessness, sadness, or dejection, restlessness, aversion to the cell and ascetic life, and yearning for family and former life. Source
Was there witchcraft involved in this Lucca house explosion?
Answer? no of course not...
And that's what you want the answer to be.....
I'll be posting more on the noon day devil explosion caused by witchcraft even if you don't believe.

How Demons
and their Attendant Witches set Fire to
Houses and Buildings.
CLAUDE FELLET was always
quarreling with a woman who was her neighbor; for it is often a
fruitful source of friction when those
of equal condition live near to each
other. And she had for a long time pondered in her heart how she could
ring some secret misfortune upon her
neighbor; for it was necessary that
it should be done in secret, since if any
evil befell the woman, all the inhabitants would at once blame Fellet for
it. Accordingly, she formed the following plot with her Demon. She was to
go to her usual work in the fields,
while he would do her business for her
in the town: in this way no suspicion
could attach to her, since she would be
away from home. The neighbor's
house was bolted and barred, and
behold! her infant son whom the
mother had left alone in the house was
heard crying pitiably within. All who
heard it ran up and broke open the
door to see what had happened to
make it cry so; and they found him
smothered and buried all over with
red-hot embers. They shook these off
with all speed, and took him from his
cradle in a desperate effort to save
him; but he was already breathing his
last, and died in their hands. The
rumor then began to spread that this
was certainly Fellet’s doing, for it
was said that she had already taken
the same sort of vengeance on several
others: therefore she was examined in respect of this crime and others of
which she had long been suspected;
and finally she was induced to confess
openly that she was guilty, telling all
as it had been done by the Demon at
her request, and particularly of the
burning embers which he had
shoveled from under the hearth and
thrown upon the unfortunate child’s
cradle.
Since we have touched upon the
subject of the fires and conflagrations
caused by Demons, I have thought
good to subjoin some various examples
of this aspect of their activities, which
may help to elucidate the truth of a
matter which has been the subject of
much doubt and controversy to many.
There is a village named Colmar in
the domains of the Lord Abbot of
Saint-Evre, Jacques de Tavigny, O.S.B., a prelate of most eminent
nobility and riches, never sufficiently
to be praised for his courtesy, beneficence and integrity. Not twenty
yeas ago a certain wanton Demon began to throw stones incessantly by
day and night at the servants of an
inhabitant of this village ; but after he
had done this for a long time without
effect, they began to treat it as a joke
and did not hesitate to hurl back
taunts and insults at him. Therefore
at the dead of night he set fire to the
whole house in a moment, so that no
amount of water was enough to prevent it from being immediately burned
to the ground. This account I eagerly
heard from the servants, being led by
the strangeness of the event to question
them when I chanced to be going that
way not many days later.
The following story is the very
brother to that of Medea, who sent as
a gift to Creusa the daughter of Creon
magic fire enclosed in a box, by which
the palace in which she was then was
burned. Joanna Schwartz at Laach,
March 1588, tried with all her might
to get Francoise Huyna to give her a
piece of dough before she put it in the
oven, so that she might make a cake
with it for her children. But Huyna
refused her, saying that the dough had
been measured out to last the whole
family for a certain number of days,and
she could not give any of it away without causing her own house to go short.
Thereupon Joanna never stopped pondering how she might fittingly pay her back for that refusal. But she did
not have to wait long; for her Demon
gave her a napkin in which were some
tiny morsels like chaff, and told her
to secrete it in Huyna’s house, and to
do so quickly, for it would happen that,
soon after she had done so, the house
would suddenly burst into flames and
be consumed with all its furniture.
Accordingly she rolled the napkin into
a ball, went to Huyna as she was but in her bake house, and offered to sell
it to her for use in her loom, which she
had heard she was getting ready.
And when Huyna said that she did not
need it, since she expected to have
more than enough to do in household duties; nevertheless, the good woman
put it down in a flour tub that stood
near by, saying that if she had no use
for it at that time, she might return it
at her leisure. Hardly had she left the
house when the tub containing the
napkin burst into flames, and the
whole house caught fire so rapidly
that no help could be brought quickly
enough. These two women separately
gave the same account of this event,
and so removed any possible doubt as
to its truth,
One more example, not unlike the
above, I shall take from Erasmus of
Rotterdam (Epist. famil., X XVII, 20).
There is a town in Switzerland called
Schiltach which was entirely burnt
down in a moment on the tenth of
April, 1533. And according to the
statements made by the inhabitants
to the Mayor of Fribourg, which city
is eight German miles from the place,
the cause of that fire was said to be as
follows:—A Demon whistled in a certain part of an inn; and the host,
thinking it was a thief, went up but
found no one, The whistle was
repeated from a higher room, and
again the host went up to look for a
thief, but again found no one. But
when the whistle was again heard,
this time from the top of the chimney,
it came into the host’s mind that it was
the work of some Demon. He bade
his family keep calm; called two
priests; and they performed an exorcism. He answered that he was a
Demon. Asked what he was doing
there, he said that he wished to burn
the town to ashes. When they threatened him with holy things, he said
that he cared nothing for their threats,
since one of them was a whoremonger
and both of them were thieves. A
little later he raised up into the air a young woman with whom he had been
intimate for fourteen years (although
during all this time she had regularly
confessed herself and received the
Eucharist), and set her on the chimney-pot; gave her a jar, and told her
to turn it up. She did this; and within an hour the whole town was burned
out.
We need not be greatly astonished
at this power of the Demons to cause
such rapid and instantaneous fires,
for even to this day we have men who
are most skilled in doing the like. I do
not refer to explosive powders and
such inflammatory substances, by the
use of which we see whole houses quickly set on fire and destroyed ; for
they are matters of common and every-
day use. I refer to some occult
method which is beyond normal
human understanding. Last year there
was in the train of a certain Prince a
simple fellow from Germany (I name
no names, though I could easily do so),
who professed that he had that which,
if he scattered some of it among the
houses, the whole town, many days
after he had left it, would be set on
fire and burned out. And at last,
through an interpreter, he explained
to the Count, the Prince’s son, the
nature of this substance, having first
bound them both by an oath never to
reveal or communicate the secret to
anyone.
know from Pliny (II, 105) that
naphtha has such an affinity for fire
that it very readily conducts flame;
but he is wide of the mark when he
says that it actually causes fire. For,
as I hear, it can be kept with perfect
safety for many days in the same room
with a bright and continual fire burning. But certainly it is an execrable
and detestable invention; for, thanks
to it, no host is safe from his guests;
and the largest and most beautiful
cities, which cost many years’ labor
in the building and perfecting, can in
a moment be destroyed at the pleasure
of one wicked man, with the consequent ruin of all the inhabitants.
