Assassin’s Creed : Codename Hexe

[artschoolglasses]

For any Assassin’s Creed fans curious about Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe—which, given all the clues and the leaks seems pretty much confirmed as a German witch trials setting—and for any fans who would like to be extra fucking nerdy, such as myself… Might I recommend checking out Lyndal Roper’s Witch Craze, which is a very well researched account of the 16th and 17th Century witchcraft trials that took place around Bavaria, Germany.

Similarly, if you are a masochist and hate yourself interested in reading more and would like a bit of a challenge, The Hammer of Witches is a complete English translation of the Malleus Maleficarum, originally written by Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger in 1486, and is a treatise on witchcraft which touches on how to identify, pull confessions from, and prosecute supposed witches. (It took me ages to get through this myself, as it gets rather repetitive, but it was well worth it for the unintentionally hilarious chapters on men absolutely terrified that women would sneak up on them while they were sleeping and steal their *cough* bits and pieces.🍆)
