seen on fb- witches [View all]

"who knows why we were taught to fear the witches, and not the ones who burned them alive?"

and damn it, i will think about that question til i die.
i come from witches, a little surprise i got when i traced my family tree.
dont know if any were murdered, but i do believe my family has a banshee. they are said to be the ghosts of murdered women, as we'll as women who died in childbirth.
i didnt used to believe in any of that, but now i do. and quantum physics has shown that it is possible that time in not immutable, so....

so, yeah, i take this question damn personally.

eta a comment i made on fb-
when i started my farm, i used to say i was living in a disney movie. one neighbor accused me of bringing crows back to the block. like it was a bad thing. and rats, even tho i had none. classic fear of the crone. and i had property and money, and had dumped my husband. BIG check. i checked all the boxes to get myself hanged in salem.
