“She’s a Witch!”
It’s the 315th anniversary of women being brought before the magistrate in what would become known as the Salem witch trails, or by the wikipedia info, the day some of the accused were searched for “witches teats”. How do I get a job like that? Included here are some of the legal chain of events that went into prosecuting someone of witchcraft in this country. It doesn’t happen in America anymore, but elsewhere on earth superstition still wreaks havoc on peoples lives, Popo Bawa, bat demon of Tanzania, for example. It’s interesting to see how the malleus maleficarum of various witchhunters changes over the ages in different cultures.
