1486 - The Malleus Maleficarum codifies weather-making it a crime punishable by death

“The Malleus Maleficarum, published in 1486, records the testimony of witches regarding weather and the power allegedly held over storms. This infamous manual, written by two Dominican inquisitors, essentially codified weather-making as a crime punishable by death. The production of the papal bull, as well as its inclusion in the Malleus, confirmed the linkage between acts of witchcraft and the production of unnatural weather that had harmed agricultural areas.” https://climatecosmos.com/climate-science/beyond-science-the-occult-roots-of-weather-change/
