| description | By reviewing the myths of witchcraft and sorcery, this paper analyzes the actors and social practices in a frontier town, the last bulwark before total wilderness, in the Northern state of Coahuila, Mexico. The author studies the process of Inquisition during 1748-1751, a period when people were accused of and tried for diabolic activities. The trials reveal a tendency to explain the game of human passions within an unknown reality —characterized by an apparent lack of logic and formal canons— through supernatural activities and satanic pacts atributed to women, regardless of social class. In this context, moral —and political— authorities tried to stop promiscuity, and their actions were seen as a need and determination to control a very fluid social structure, i.e., to establish norms for the regulation of moral standards and collective values. |

The author studies the process of Inquisition during 1748-1751, a period when people were accused of and tried for diabolic activities. The trials reveal a tendency to explain the game of human passions within an unknown reality —characterized by an apparent lack of logic and formal canons— through supernatural activities and satanic pacts atributed to women, regardless of social class. In this context, moral —and political— authorities tried to stop promiscuity, and their actions were seen as a need and determination to control a very fluid social structure, i.e., to establish norms for the regulation of moral standards and collective values. A través de los mitos de la brujería y la hechicería se analizan los actores y las prácticas sociales de una población fronteriza, último bastión antes del salvajismo, en el norteño estado fronterizo de Coahuila, México. Se estudia un proceso de la Inquisición de 1748-1751, en el que se juzga a personas bajo los cargos de actividades diabólicas. El juicio revela la propensión de justificar el juego de las pasiones humanas de una realidad desconocida, dominada por la aparente falta de lógica y de cánones formales, con actividades sobrenaturales y pactos demoniacos de mujeres, entre las cuales no se hace distinción de jerarquías sociales. En el contexto, las autoridades morales —y políticas— buscan poner el alto la promiscuidad, lo que se interpreta aquí como la necesidad y el propósito de imponer control en la fluida estructura social prevaleciente, esto es, sentar las normas que regirían la moral y los valores colectivos.
