In a three-part crowd scene, all sorts of devils, magicians and witches gather for an "unholy magic party": witches ride through the air, animals die from destructive magic, the seduction of virgins by diabolical beings, the preparation of magic potions in a witch's cauldron. To the right, in the background, demons are summoned in a magic circle, to the left, a long circle of drunkards and sexually uninhibited people soar to the top in an ecstatic devil's dance.
