| | Witch-hunt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The most important form of evidence in many of the witch trials was attained by "ordeal". | | | It is often written that many accused witches were women who were practitioners of herbalism, natural healing or midwifery, yet none of these have ever been considered "witchcraft". | | | Many suspects were women who lived in towns, villages or rural areas and who may have been practitioners of herbalism, natural healing or midwifery; but often it was simply poor, uneducated women who did not have influential friends. |

| | Witchcraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Present-day beliefs about the witches of history attribute to them elements of the folklore witch, the charmer, the cunning man or wise woman, the diviner and the astrologer. | | | Combining Roman Catholic beliefs and practices and traditional West African religious beliefs and practices are several syncretic religions in the Americas, including Voudun, Obeah, Candomblé, and Santería. | | | If a man has laid a charge of witchcraft and has not justified it, he upon whom the witchcraft is laid shall go to the holy river; he shall plunge into the holy river and if the holy river overcome him, he who accused him shall take to himself his house. |

| | All witches feels a sense of sisterhood, and as such witches of different religions often interact more peacefully than might a witch with priests of her own religion. | | | Witches such as Circe, Rhiannon, or even Morgan LeFey were priestessed of Gods and Goddesses who were lesser know, but ultimatly no more or less nefarious than their better known kindred. | | | Witches do not use their holy symbols in conjunction with spell casting. |

| | Witch! Defining Ourselves Within Spirituality |
| | The word witch conjures up all kinds of images to people; everything from the Wicked Witch of The Wizard of Oz, to the healer of ancient times who lived on her own in a hut giving out herbal medicines to village folk. | | | I am of the opinion that if you identify as a witch, by all means, then call yourself one. | | | An archetype survives by being useful and relevant to modern life, and that is certainly true of the popular definition of witch. |

| | The number of witchcraft quarrels that began between women may actually have been higher; in some cases, it appears that the husband as "head of household" came forward to make statements on behalf of his wife, although the central quarrel had taken place between her and another woman. | | | Historically, the most salient manifestation of the unreserved belief in female power and female evil is evidenced in the tight, recurrent, by-now nearly instinctive association of women and witchcraft. | | | the Reformation was definitely the first time that the church had to cope with a large-scale threat to its very existence and legitimacy." But Ben-Yehuda adds that "Protestants persecuted witches with almost the same zeal as the Catholics... |
