Blockula (Blåkulla in modern Swedish) was a legendary island where the Devil held his Earthly court during a witches' Sabbath. This island could only be reached by a magical flight. It was described as "a delicate large Meadow, whereof you can see no end". There was said to be a large gate located in the meadow that led to a smaller meadow. In the smaller meadow there stood a house. In an enormous room in this house: "[…] there stood a very long Table, at which the Witches did sit down: And […] hard by this Room was another Chamber, where there were very lovely and delicate Beds."
