Witchcraft

jeudi 28 octobre 2021 à 02:00

A campaign aims to clear the name of the thousands of European women (and some men) who were executed for imagined witchcraft.

We should not allow fantasy about magic and witches, whether good or bad, to distort our idea of reality. In reality, there is no such thing as magic. There is advanced technology which can appear "indistinguishable from magic", but it isn't really magic, and doesn't involve devils.

There are real poisons, and are occasionally used for murder or attempted murder, but they are physical substances and always administered by non-magical means.
