I'm fascinated by witchcraft in general.

But the concept of witchery is intriguing. It seems to have been a hangover from the old religions which were still going strong right up to the end of the middle-ages. Many people really did believe in them and in their powers for doing evil. We don't burn witches today simply because we don't believe in them.<br /><br />And, of course, witchery was a very convenient concept for dealing with troublesome misfits.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770347372942866924noreply@blogger.com
