Witchery, sounds cool right? It is indeed. Many of us have only heard the names witchcraft, witchery, wizards and we do have a rough idea of what it is and how it works.
But if you are more curious to know about witches, their history, how they came into existence, what happened to them, and things like these then you have come to the right place. Here we will discuss everything about witches and witchcraft in detail.
So, my curious readers, it’s time to dig deep into the art of witchery. Let’s get started.
Now It Is Time for You to Know the Truth About Witchery
Witches and witchcraft: An untold story
· Witches and their witchcraft are an interesting part of history. Those who believe in magic or some kind of supernatural activity have a keen interest in knowing about witches, their existence, and also where are they now.
· Witches are people who are aware of the powers within, that allows them to perform magical activities. The kind of magic that is capable of harming others. People considered them as evil and someone who is not good for the survival of mankind.
· The magic that these witches do is termed witchcraft. Witches are someone who can do magic, and this magic can be used for doing both good and bad things. But the history tells us that mostly it was used for doing super-evil and sketchy things.
The Arrival and Survival of Witches
· There is no exact period available that can tell us when witches came into existence. But after digging deep into history and searching vigorously through different books it was found that the very first time when someone heard of something like this was between 931 B.C and 721 B.C.
· There is a very famous story that displayed the very first witchcraft done by witches. The story is about a kind named Saul who asked for a favour from a witch. He asked the witch to request the presence of the prophet Samuel’s spirit so that they can win a battle against the Philistine army.
· Saul was all ready to win the battle but little did he know that he was about to lose his life for good. This story is mentioned in the bible. And according to that the spell backfired or something like that happened and Saul committed suicide and both of his sons lost their lives in the battle.
· This was the very first incident through which people got to know about the existence of witches. As you can see that this incident did not have a good ending.
· Everyone ended up getting hurt and through this people made a bad image of witches in their minds. After this, many incidents like this took place and people started getting scared of witches.
· Many incidents like these happened where people got hurt. Knowingly or unknowingly, people fitted these events into their subconscious minds and started believing that witches are not good for their health.
And this is how the arrival and survival of witches started.
Mass Killing of Witches and their Witchcraft
· We have seen a different image of witches in movies and cartoons. An image that does not match with reality. Movies and cartoons show that witches come in black hoods riding in broomsticks. That is so not true because in reality these witches are among us behaving like one of us. This chameleon nature of witches makes them hard to spot.
· In the early days when the concept of witches and witchcraft was new to people, they became very scared and started believing that these witches are a cause of harm to them. A lot of sketchy things started happening in the community. Nobody had a proper reason to explain, that is why they blamed the witches for this.
· People thought that killing these witches is the only way through which they can protect themselves from their evil spells. So, they started mass killing of witches.
· Many witches were hanged to death while some were burned alive. The impact that these witches had on those people was so brutal. A fear got inbuilt inside those people that made people kill all the witches.
Conclusion
Now that I’m ending this article, I want you all readers to tell me “was witches were bad or dangerous for mankind?” or “Was our desires were what made witches do things which took turn into some unwanted incidents?”
Well, if you ask me then it’s a debatable topic. There is always a black and a white side to the story and according to me here there is a grey side as well.
