They knew more about healing than many of the doctors, It was sad, that many of the cunning folk too met their end with the witch huntsW.A.

As much as people would rather consider witches as a thing of the past and not talk about let alone someone be pointed as one, witch hunting is very much alive in today's world. as you said, you don't need a witch to have a witch hunt, how so true that is.Lessonzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01749173668480866403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693278311831499317.post-83667975877234687782014-10-10T17:51:08.597-07:002014-10-10T17:51:08.597-07:00I like how you tied in our modern witch hunts and ...I like how you tied in our modern witch hunts and your depth of knowledge is incredible.

It must literally take you months to follow each trail back. It's fascinating. Of course I've heard of witches being persecuted and the horrible things done to them but I didn't know that originated with the church. I always thought it was the villagers who were afraid of the witches.

Always has happened and always will. It's just a question of if the label is witchor something else.

A blogger friend of mine considers herself a witch, but I haven't fully discerned exactly how and why (though I only follow her from a distance). Gotta love it though. "How dare you disagree... blah blah blah. You must be a witch!" In some ways, that line of reason still plays out all the time in this day and age.JeriWBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560326888524377308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693278311831499317.post-50020535546445928562014-10-06T12:48:02.438-07:002014-10-06T12:48:02.438-07:00Through your blog I am having a lot of information...Through your blog I am having a lot of information about that time period. I do not know why people believed that witches are more dangerous then male. I never heard about wise folk. It is good that you are getting ready for Halloween. I do not have any witch-hunt and not planning for. Seems it is beneficial is some cases as well. I am looking forward to , how a person will be a witch. :) voiceofsudhnotihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385680414772682064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693278311831499317.post-88141485933189903082014-10-06T08:16:30.306-07:002014-10-06T08:16:30.306-07:00As usual, I am fascinated by your knowledge of thi...As usual, I am fascinated by your knowledge of this period.
