Ovaj cache postavljen je za vrijeme eventa "Kod đavolje rupe ispod vražjeg korijena" geocaching sekcije našeg starog coprničjeg ceha. Na event smo doletjele na svojim metlama slijedeći začarane brojeve s pročelja lokacija povezanih s našom pričom. Nijednoj iskusnoj geovještici nije bio problem otčarati ih i pravilnim redoslijedom ABCD unijeti u čarobnu formulu.
This cache was hidden during the event called "By the devil's hole beneath Satan's root", held by the geocaching section of our old witches' guild. We flew to the event on our brooms, following enchanted numbers from the facades of locations connected to our story. No experienced geowitch had a problem to disenchant the numbers and insert them in the magic formula in the right order ABCD.
Što nas čini vješticama, zašto nas je trebalo progoniti i po kojoj nam se proceduri imalo suditi detaljno je opisano na približno osamsto stranica crkvenog inkvizicijskog priručnika „Malleus maleficarum“ (Malj za vještice), objavljenog 1486. godine. Iako je u Zagrebu bilo slučajeva našeg izopćivanja i osuđivanja još u 14. stoljeću, prvo suđenje o kojem su sačuvani sudski spisi održano je 1676. godine kod tadašnjih sjevernih kaptolskih vrata. Tijekom saslušanja, koje se održavalo na čavlima, optužena naša družbenica Bara Kramarić priznala je da je bila u društvu vještica i njihovih živih zmija.
What makes us witches, why we had to be persecuted and according to which procedure we had to be tried was described in detail on approximately eight hundred pages of "Malleus maleficarum" (Hammer of witches), church inquisitorial manual published in 1486. Even though Zagreb saw cases of our persecution and conviction already in the 14th century, the first trial whose records were saved was held in 1676 by the northern gate of Kaptol. During the hearing, which was held on nails, our companion Bara Kramarić was charged and she admitted she had been in the company of witches and their alive snakes.
Zagrebačke sudske vlasti najviše su se s nama naradile 1699. godine, kad je najveći broj članica našega ceha saslušan na mučilima i potom spaljen na lomači, jer su letjele i izazivale tuču, spavale s vragom ili spravljale vještičji napitak. U sudskim se spisima kao naše glavno noćno okupljalište spominjalo vrelo Manduševac, a kao omiljene destinacije za let planine Okić i Medvednica.
Zagreb judicial authorities worked the hardest in 1699, when the largest number of the members of our guild was interrogated under the torture and then burnt at the stake because they had been flying, causing fights, slept with the Devil or made potions. Court records mentioned Manduševac well as our main gathering place by night, and mountains Okić and Medvednica as our favourite flight destinations.
Jedna od naših družbenica bila je i zanosna udovica Barica Cindek, koja je 1743. godine optužena za najteži mogući delikt – da je dušu i tijelo prodala vragu. Među onima koji su je teretili našlo se podosta njezinih odbijenih udvarača, kao i gornjogradskih trgovaca i obrtnika, jalnih zbog njezina velikog uspjeha u trgovanju na gradskoj tržnici. Po njezinoj životnoj priči oblikovala je Marija Jurić Zagorka kontesu Neru, junakinju popularnog ciklusa romana Grička vještica. A sto godina poslije, po Gričkoj vještici nazvano je najjače hrvatsko tamno pivo nakon kojeg se, kako čujemo, može poletjeti kao na najboljoj našoj metli.
One of our companions was an enchanting widow Barica Cindek, who was accused in 1743 for the worst possible offence – that she had sold her body and soul to the devil. Amongst those who charged her were many of her rejected admirers, as well as tradesmen and craftsmen from Gornji grad (the Upper Town), jealous of her great success in trading at the town market. Her life story was an inspiration for Marija Jurić Zagorka's Countess Nera, the main character of a popular novel sequence titled Grička vještica (The Witch of Gritch). A hundred years later, the strongest Croatian dark beer was named after the Witch of Gritch, after which, so we have heard, one can fly like on our best broom.
Tijekom svoje četrdesetogodišnje vladavine hrvatsko-ugarska kraljica Marija Terezija provela je brojne reforme državne uprave, vojske, zdravstva i školstva. Izvori tvrde da je i sama vjerovala u postojanje vještica i čarobnjaka te njihovih zločina. No provodeći politiku prosvijećenog apsolutizma, nad procesima protiv vještica najprije je uvela kontrolu, a zatim je 1758. godine svim hrvatskim sudovima ukinula pravo na njih.
During her 40-year reign, Maria Theresa, the queen of Croatia and Hungary, promulgated many reforms of state administration, the army, healthcare and education system. The sources claim that she herself believed in the existence of wizards and witches and their crimes. However, by conducting the policy of enlightened absolutism, she introduced the control over the processes against witches, and in 1758 she abolished the right to them for all Croatian courts.
Otad mi coprnice ponovno možemo slobodno letjeti i baviti se svojim stvarima, pa tako i geocachingom!
Since then we, the witches, can again fly freely and do our own things, which includes geocaching!
