"To the category of delusive dreams belongs the error of those women who say that they go out at night with Herodias and other persons whom they call "the good things" [bonae res], and that they ride through space on certain beasts, passing over large expanses of the earth, and that they are called to the service of these goddesses on certain nights..."
In medieval popular belief, Herodias and her flying troop of "good things" bestowed blessings on respectful homes and worked mischief against those who offended her -- usually by pissing in their wine casks. The belief is attested in many different sources from the eleventh century onward. But Church leaders (like the Inquisitor quoted above) maintained that Herodias was a demoness and her followers, false dreamers.
