Heresy (Witte Wieven)

You shouldn't hide it from me.

God is with us.

Almighty, eternal God.

Through your grace, fulfill the desire of Your servant.

And turn the shame of infertility away from me.

I have-

Lord...

Your love and faithfulness are infinite, You are always with me.

Look with compassion upon Your sinners.

For we all have sin.

Forgive Gelo, as You have forgiven each one of us.

And do not lead us into temptation...

but deliver us from the grip of evil.

I forgive you your sins...

Gelo.

Father.

Oh Frieda.

One more time.

In the name of God. You said it yourself: God shines His light mercifully today.

One more time.

In the name of God.

How can God allow this?

I feel...

...hollow.

Maybe I'll go into the shadow of the forest.

Perhaps that's better.

Disappear into the fog.

Please don't say that, Sasha.

God's house has many rooms. There is space for everyone.

Yes.

But not here.

Soft bones, clean guts. You can eat it right away.

I prefer them fully grown.

And I prefer them small and weak.

Frieda, fresh corpse-beggars for you.

- Given from His gentle hand. - Praise Him.

- Given from His gentle hand. - Praise Him.

Given from His gentle hand.

In lust, two are to blame.

That's what the father says, right?

- I said no. - Stay away from me.

Are you always this resistant, huh?

Who will help you then? In a childless marriage.

Frieda.

- I can help you. - Never, never with you.

Then who else?

...the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord, You have compassion for the suffering of the barren.

Give with grace, so that Your servant may fulfill her true duty in this life.

Let her go out...

and help her bring a child into the world.

Bury it now in a place only you know, so that the urine remains untouched.

If the next day you find worms within the bowl- - then my womb is barren.

Lord, bless us and these gifts, which we receive through Your kindness.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Mm.

Fertility test?

Beautiful.

With God's blessing.

The boar was pregnant.

The Father thinks the meat can help us, with our problem.

- Perhaps it's a sign- - Don't you dare...

Never imply that it's my problem, Frieda.

This is on you, only you, not me.

Sweet girl.

Gelo.

If you won't let me help you, then die. Just die!

Come on, my-

- Frieda. - What happened?

Hikko.

Hikko, Hikko.

Frieda.

Frieda, open the door.

Frieda.

No one should ever go near that dark forest.

- No, Gelo- - No, you.

What in God's name is a woman doing in those devilish woods?

You bear the curse and curse those around you.

No woman has ever returned alive from that forest.

She doesn't have a single scratch on her.

The barren one conspires with the Devil.

She should be banished from the village.

Gelo.

Gelo.

Lord God, you have given me the power to cast out the Devil.

What in God's name?

It's Gelo.

It's Gelo!

Burn it back to hell where it belongs.

- But it's Gelo. - Set that devilish tree on fire, damn it.

- Wisund. - Now.

He's alive.

Get out.

I pray to You, to anyone, hear me.

Frieda, my love.

She conspires with the Devil.

Those aren't angels.

Oh, my God, please.

Stay with her.

She conspires with the Devil.

I'm losing her.

My Frieda, Frieda.

Frieda, stay with us.

She speaks with the Devil.

Be careful, careful, Frieda.

It's the Devil.

Oh, my Lord.

Hear me my Lord.

Your servant-

Lord, I have sinned.

Those demons in the fog-

I believed in them.

They seduced me and imitated your voice.

Lord, please speak to me now.

They've invaded my dreams.

Deliver Your humble servant, for this doubt is un-

You doubt the Lord?

You meet the Devil in your dreams?

No, I have been deceived.

What have you done in those dreams?

Have you seen the hellfire?

A lake of fire and brimstone?

Eyes that rain endless agony with their gaze?

Everything you know now, is only the beginning.

And you bring a curse upon us all with your doubts.

Deliver me.

You must want to suffer for your sins.

Like Christ on the cross.

Bleed.

You have to truly want to atone, Frieda.
