The crimes to which Sibillia confessed were as follows. Already when young, every week, on Thursday night, she had joined Oriente and her ‘society’. She had paid homage to Oriente, not thinking that this was a sin. In the subsequent trial she specified that she would bow her head as a sign of reverence, saying, ‘Be well, Madona Horiente’; Oriente would answer, ‘Welcome, my daughters (Bene veniatis, filie mee)’. Sibillia had believed that every kind of animal communed with the society, at least two of each species, with the exception of asses, because they had carried the cross; should one of them have been missing, the entire world would have been destroyed. Oriente answered the questions of the society’s members, predicting future and occult events. To her, Sibillia, she had always spoken the truth: and this had in turn enabled her to answer the questions of many people, providing information and instruction. Of all this she had said nothing to her confessor. During the 1390 trial she pointed out that over the last six years she had attended the society only twice: the second time she had by chance thrown a stone into a certain stretch of water from which she was walking away; as a result she had no longer been able to go there. In answer to a question from the inquisitor, she said that in the presence of Oriente the name of God is never uttered.
