Superstition in Ribe
Ribe Cathedral School
Lecture by historian Maria Østerby Elleby, who helped create Hex.
When does belief become superstition.
And is superstition good or bad?
In the old town of Ribe, superstition degenerated into cruel witch trials.
Today, the Hex museum is located in the apartment where Langgaard lived the last months of his life.
The lecture begins with two choir songs:
Rued Langgaard: Tro (Emilie Thorup) BVN 88:1 (1914) from Tre aandelige Sange.
