The History Of Witches

@@migalinda1416 Herbal medicine is herbal medicine. Leechcraft, or folk-medicine, wasn't considered witchcraft, until healthcare was taken-over by a class of "professionals," which is to say, "educated men with money."

@@d00d3 im glad i live in this era

@@albertus8474 it has its upsides, yes.

women who can concoct herbal medicine is considered a witch...

@@albertus8474 Me, too.

Yeah like "guys!! A widow with no kids!! let's burn this one, no one will make any drama she has no family"

Ikr, it’s horrible

@God Emporor of Florida Rick Scott relax man, witchhunting were targeting women especially who wouldn't submit into society serving men. Women who lived outside the city, tried to make an income by themselves or had knowledgy over natural remedies

Yes, they were more likely to be targeted but it wasn't just them...it was all women. If you can, check out a video about the Malleus Maleficarum. It a very influential book on witch hunting from the time and was also incredibly misogynistic. Basically the case was that women, no matter their social status, were spiritually inferior and thus vulnerable to becoming witches and even made the most basic of things, such as women talking to each other, a sign that they might be witches (since, by their reasoning, a woman can't keep a secret so if Satan gives her the capabilities of a witch she'll tell other women and spread witchcraft and devil worship in her community). Essentially making women even having friends, not only suspicious, but actually a threat!

They probably thought a normal woman cannot survive all alone so she must've been a witch

Lol love ur profile pic

They would hate what we been doing noe days

Men at any time in history: YOU'RE A WITCH

Nice profile picture👌

😂😂😂💀

Oh my go- CAN I HAVE THAT JOB- wait hold on that's a hitman

Essentially, yes.

Im the 800th like hehe

@@nh6a6ylegkasy62 thank you for the update😮

@@talosfranks1007 no problem man😌

Her ancestor was actually from Gloucester (even though it started in Salem the hysteria spread around the area). I am descended from two other woman who was arrested from there. Luckily, this was towards the end and their cases never went to trial and they were eventually released. SJP’s ancestor was Esther Elwell and mine were Rachel Vinson and Abigail Rowe (who was only 15!).

Winnie, mary, or Sarah

@@nobodysbusiness6796 Sarah

it's sarah jessica parker

Same and my name actually is sarah goode also the charachter ryan inspired fiona goode from and her daughter that gone crazy was named something similar to cordelia

Tons of men were killed too.

@@darkghoul4049 "tons" is an exaggeration. A dog was also killed. It was mostly women.

Woman is not The Imposter

This is unrelated but ✨JuMark✨😌🤚🏻 our pp are made for each other.

@@racheldollton not really, men were killed as warlocks and women as witches. But the reasons for killing women were more absurd.

The actual skit wasn't excuted very well though.

Typical Trump supporter 😂

@@maxpokebruh27 they weren't calling you a trump supporter, they were calling people who think like that a trump supporter

More like : not believing a woman can know anything. MOST of the women accused were medicine folk who used herbology, but a learned woman in those times is a dangerous and obviously witch woman

@@LLBloodwulf yes. A woman with a brain, using it openly = witch. A woman whom wanted to be a free mind = witch. A woman who had land = witch. A woman with no religious beliefs = witch. A woman with opinion = witch.

@@thisisnotphysics1857 not exactly. Women with land wasnt something to accuse over; many widowed women had land back then.
More like: any woman who is better than a man at anything WITCH. And any man who supports said woman ALSO WITCH

@@LLBloodwulfyes I understand but what I meant was if the woman was "awkward" (sorry for my English hope you understand what I mean) and had land interesting some men of power they were sometimes accused of witchcraft and they take their land. At least that what they thaught me in school. Sorry I explained myself poorly...
And just for my personal information if it was a man wasn't it warlock?
Thank you for educating me! Stay safe.

Have you ever studied the subject. O admire science but it was the up amd coming scientific community that did it.

I don't miss their banter at all.

I secretly longed for them, but I decided to keep that to myself :D up until here

As much as I love Shane and Ryan I realize that doing the same thing forever isn't something they both seem like they'd wanna do and both of them are onto new things in their life now. I think buzzfeed is still good even without Shane and Ryan and everything comes to an end. Of course, Shane and Ryan left a bunch behind for people to rewatch on youtube and for even new people to discover but again, things change. :D

Yesss same 😭

I wonder that all the time. We criticize the Victorians for the bizarre things they believed. In 100 years, what will people then criticize us for believing?

Witchcraft is still a belief system today....it's just not socially acceptable to murder people for their religious beliefs anymkre

GOODY FEVER YOU ARE A WITCH YOU ARE COVERED IN IMPURITIES

@@coffinnote7353 hahaha this made my day 😂

I'm picturing this so well...

IM WHEEEZING

Right?

They weren't just targetting women, though... They targetted what would today be called Anarchists, Free-Thinkers, Atheists, Herbalists, and social or political rivals... Never-mind the same-sex attracted men and women, who may or may not have been acting on their attractions.
Herbalists challenged the growing medical institution, the which kept control of healthcare in the hands of those with money...

Coastal Animist that’s false. This idea that herbalism would make you accused of being a witch is completely false. Herbalism was used as the main source of medicine for most of the population. Modern medicine is well, a modern invention?

Did you really have to type witchcraft in quotations would you do that if it was believed that they were Christian/Catholic? If you wrote it like that for other reasons but belief I'll say it looks wrong like if your poking fun at us 😕 could thou refrain from doing that plz ☺️

Yes, cause egos matter more than people’s lives

@@Pugkin5405 so sad

@@Pugkin5405 This is why World needs witches in this Patriarchal Culture. krplus.net/bidio/hbOgjKSiomywan4

Yep

But then this guy in the video just said “witches are definitely real”

I jumped at that!

Oh damnnn the last season really tanked

h I’ve only read the books but since I just tore the ligaments in my ankle I see some Outlander bingeing in store for me.

Or anyone descended from Master Raymond.

yessss the girl who wrote outlander actually did the study of history from witches and that’s where she got Gellis’ name from so that the story could be historically accurate

Daaammmmmnnn!! I guess a lot of us girls would have been burned or hanged back then🤪

@@crystalbrown1945 loll

Its like girls couldn't do anything back then.. If they did the littlest thing ever they'd be burn to the stake.

Books and vid: are you sure about that

Its never been...i laugh at people who say stuff like this

No religious person literally never said that 💀

I’ve never heard anyone say that

It sounded like a much more fun place to live to be a fair.. live is so boring now all it is people on their phones

I mean they kinda did but in a different way.

I think they mostly targeted women.

@@vaanipapadakis2226 there were maybe one or two men that were suspected of being witches but the vast majority were women

Isabella Rocha not exactly. In some countries, the majority of the accused were men, and not women (I believe Iceland is one such example).
While yes, the witch trials accused a lot of women, it was also about the poor, the elderly, the disliked, and the disabled. This idea that the majority of the accused were “intelligent and independent women” is feminist rewriting of history and ignores the fact that the accused were usually uneducated and poor.

yes!! i'm a druid and got so excited when they started talking about misconceptions

@@ronan3224 blessings to you 🔮

@@GoldenEm may you be blessed also 💛

Bless you

THE TWO FINGERED BRUTE well it’s back

Saudi Arabia there's a death sentence for witchcraft. There's one example

There’s very interesting Afro-Caribbean folktales about witches! I’d love to see more content about them

in ancient china and the Philippines if women had magic or where wiser then the others they were leaders. in the Philippines they were called Baybaylan.

@@Waterbendingwolf not only women. Even gays were looked up to and were elected as babaylans because they are both men and women (believed to have a better understanding on humans since they "experience" both gender).
Then Christianity came and our country got effed up big time.

Jelly Fingers they had witch hunts in Eastern Europe?

Word same lol

My brain: Hello,my name is Vincent Price...

They're called incels nowadays, I'm guessing that's more catchy 🤣

@@Lizzie-ve7kt awesome

Woman: "Darling, I'm going to hang out with my book reading club :)"
Husband: "... my wife is a WITCH!!"

@@LeoDBW that’s pretty much all it took

I would imagine that for men who were used to having their wives and daughters being obedient and demure in their presence, suddenly see their women laughing and displaying confidence and autonomy in some kind of weird group they have no access to, would think that their women were being bewitched by Satan. An uncontrolled woman is ungodly ya know.

@@joannachen76 by whose definition ^_-

@Super JLK not nearly as much. It's difficult for white men in 2020 to realise what they've done to women over the years. It always has to be discounted.

Men were also hunted

@@katek1532 not nearly the same numbers. Watch the video and they make that point.

@@Julesb2183 but it still happened. It was horrible for anyone to endure

@@katek1532 it was a way to keep women in line, but yes, horrible for anyone.

Hahahahah this is one of my favorite quotes on youtube

Lmao

Those weren't the same....the term "witch" is gender neautral, regardless of being male or female you are called "witch".
The werewolf trials were just that: hunting for werewolves. As in they beileved werewolves actually existed and men who were believed to be werewolves were hunted down. HOWEVER this happened ALONGSIDE the witch trails. So it was a double whammy: you could be accused of being a witch, a werewolf, or both if you were a male between the 16th and 17th century

@God Emporor of Florida Rick Scott ik its just a meme, but furries are actually pretty nice.... its the zoophiles that are /evil/

what do witches do?

@@corneliali7747 it really depends on your path but it usually involves meditation, manifestation, and some form of practice. Witches practice witchcraft, which again is different for each path so there isn't really a straightforward answer, but it can include spells, potions, baking recipes, specific manifestation, and much more. Witches can be religious, but not always, the same as some pagans/wiccans can practice witchcraft but they don't have to. Hope that helps a little :) blessed be

No comment ! Smh

Do you have recommendations for beginners like any websites, reading material? Etc.

@@okamiartifex8813 I used to watch someone on KRplus called Harmony Nice, and she's quite good! She has a series called enchanted endeavours that is amazing! I also recommend an Instagram account called WiccanTips. Research is a must before you start practicing, preferably for as long as you can but it's what is comfortable for you! it's a highly personal practice, so whatever feels right to you is what you do! Be careful though, and blessed be!

Some people don't take the time to try and understand things perhaps Ella

It hasn't changed so much imo

This is Not physics ikr

Isn't it still ? Have you been to Uganda ? That's just one example

@@thisisnotphysics1857 Location plays a huge role; it's changed vastly in the western world. To which location do you speak of?

@@anthonyodonoghue2539 yeah, I saw a documentary about Uganda and it's... I don't even have any word.

Yes, it's so sad.

@Shaun Rooney i was literally talking about the fact that all of the stories started with "oh this man felt threatened by this woman so he reported her" like the little boy who lost in a fight with the girl and reported her as a witch because his ego was hurt like come on

@Shaun Rooney Yes and those poor men were killed by men, Sofia's comment never said anything about the gender of the victim

​@Shaun Rooney I didn't say they weren't? But in this witchcraft case, it was men. And a simple look at history shows it's mostly men. AGAIN i did NOT say women have never harmed anyone, 'mostly' does not mean 'all'. Please read carefully.

@Shaun Rooney Also no ones laughing, stop twisting words

Might as well just kill them though, it's not like you're gonna get caught up on some blood spatter analysis and DNA evidence.

It's too long to read I'll live not knowing

True. It was worse back then, but still no paradise in these times either.

The vikings took good care of there women women were respected and also did the maths as .. they considered it witchcraft 😂 before the Christian take over things definitely were not as bad but after Christianity took over it was all honour and obey blah blah 😑

@@lacuna_matata_9261 Funnily enough, Women were treated well during Nazi Germany and also in the Soviet union. Although ,they didn't have any power, they weren't relentless persecuted for illogical reasons. I wish, we could adopt the good things done by them, not only demonizing them for only the bad they did.

It is still hell, now imagine a women of color...

Shkodran Lovren how tf is she psycho? You don’t know her. I don’t go around calling christians psycho because I don’t believe in their religion. How about you stfu.

Im a witch who is a hellenic pagan too! It brings me so much happiness hearing about other people who worship the same gods!!!

Good god same

I was looking to see if it bothered anyone else lol

Same with Märet Jonsdotter

it’s sooo bad 😂

I actually cringed

Check out Stephanie Harlowe's video on it. It basically boiled down to old grudges and politics

The US was not the same, Europe was more of a counter-insurgency and when it ended eastern Europe tried the same tactic with "vampires" after their mercenaries were killing people. Study it, youll find the truth.
