Did witches really exist ?
A witch is a follower of the Wicca sect which is a pagan sect. Like all pagans the early and even later Christians persecuted them as they wanted people to follow the Christian religion so they could hold some power over them. Before we understood as much as we do about chemistry there were people, mainly women, who had knowledge about different chemicals in plants etc. Many of these people were accused of being witches for all sorts of reasons. As I understand it the cause of the witch trials at Salem was in fact someone wanting to get hold of some land.
yes they did, and still do, only they are white witches, and practice only spells to do with nature and good spells, although there are a number of black witches still knocking about, one of the famous ones who died a couple of years ago was alex crowley, it is said the house he lived in for many years is haunted bt his black spirit.
They did in the past and they do today In the past the witches were moreso “pagans”. This means that they followed different spiritual beliefs to the religion being implemented at the time. e.g. when christianity was growing etc. people who still stuck to their old beliefs of natural powers such as the earth, the moon, the stars. Also a lot of women were classed as witches when all this came about and were either educated, or practicing pagean beliefs. Today there are still witches such as white witches who work ‘good’ with spells and other things. So moreso, in the old times it jst seems that ‘witches’ were merely a fragment of closed mindedness, frozen in a time of discrimination.
