Akelarre (witchcraft)
Akelarre is the Basque term meaning Witches' Sabbath. It is also found in Spanish with the spelling ''aquelarre''. It is the place where witches hold their meetings.
==Etymology==
The most common etymology is that meaning meadow (''larre'') of the male goat (''aker'' "buck, billy goat"). The Spanish Inquisition accused people of worshipping a black goat, related to the worship of Satan. An alternative explanation could be that it originally was ''alkelarre'', ''alka'' being a local name for the herb ''Dactylis hispanica''. In this case, the first etymology would have been a manipulation of the Inquisition,〔J. Dueso, ''Brujería en el País Vasco''. Orain, 1996. ISBN 84-89077-55-X〕 the fact being that the Basques did not know during the 1609-1612 persecution period or later what the "akelarre" referred to by the inquisitors meant. The word "aquelarre" is first attested in 1609 in a Spanish language inquisitorial briefing, as synonym to ''junta diábolica'', meaning 'diabolic assembly'. Basque terms, transcribed into Spanish texts often by monolingual Spanish language copyists, were fraught with mistakes.
Nevertheless, the black he-Goat or ''Akerbeltz'' is known in Basque mythology to be an attribute of goddess Mari and is found in a Roman age slab as a votive dedication: ''Aherbelts Deo'' ("to the god Aherbelts") (see: Aquitanian language)..
