3. FLYING OINTMENT
Flying ointment, also known as witches' flying ointment, green ointment, magic salve and lycanthropic ointment, is a hallucinogenic ointment said to be used by witches in the Early Modern period (first described by Alice Kytelerin 1324).
Ointments are formulated using hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or water-emulsifying bases to provide preparations that are immiscible, miscible, or emulsifiable with skin secretions. They can also be derived from hydrocarbon (fatty), absorption, water-removable, or water-soluble bases.
A hallucinogenis a psychoactive agent which can cause hallucinations, perceptual anomalies, and other substantial subjective changes inthoughts, emotion, and consciousness. The common types of hallucinogens are psychedelics,dissociatives and deliriants. Although hallucinations are not an uncommon symptom ofamphetamine psychosis, amphetamines are not considered hallucinogens, as they are not a primary effect of the drugs themselves. While stimulants do not induce hallucinations without abuse, the nature of stimulant psychosis is not unlike delirium.

4. GOAT
Popular Christian folk tradition in Europe associated Satan with imagery of goats. A common superstitionin the Middle Ages was that goats whispered lewd sentences in the ears of the saints. The origin of this belief was probably the behavior of the buck inrut, the very epitome of lust. The common medieval depiction of the Devil was that of a goat-like face with horns and small beard (agoatee). The Black Mass, a probably-mythological "Satanic mass", was said to involve a black goat, the form in which Satan supposedly manifested himself for worship.
