The witch trials were a horrific period in history where pretty much anyone could be accused of being a witch, and the tests to prove whether or not you were a witch were so bizarre there was no way to be right. Check out today's insane new video to find out exactly how people decided whether someone was a witch or not!

A “witch” was most likely the person in the village who had the best knowledge of herbs and plants etc., and they were respected by people in their community for their ability to heal minor injuries (and probably save lives by stopping infection). The day they made a mistake or were simply unable to save someone - ie. from cancer (which we still can’t always cure people from) - they were persecuted. All the rights they did over the years would be disregarded and they would be reported. A lot of the herbs they used back then, we still use today. It’s so sad that things we keep in the cupboard now could’ve got us killed back then.

Actually witches have been found because witchcraft was also used in that time. There are even books and grimoires found from back then with satanic conjurings spells and other witchcraft. However mostly it was misunderstood with woman who where village healers or so called wise woman.

@@drewr1843 Agreed. However the West did take it to new levels. Think about the narrative we were taught as children, with regards to Christendom and Western Civilization's relation to the non-Christian non-European world. I'm from the first batch of what is known as the "Born-Frees" of South Africa. Those born from '94 onwards. We were literally taught, as kids, that Christians came to spread the gospel, to civilize the uncivilized, to educate the uneducated. Even in America, people are fed the narrative that "slaves" were brought to the Americas, and educated, civilized, etc. This is evident by the attitudes African Americans show towards Africans, just take a look at black comedy through the decades. Why is that none of them heard the name _"Omar Ibn Said"_ before? Think about it. A mere 30-years ago, the conservative Christian Apartheid regime (who the US fully backed) was setting dogs loose on innocent men, women, and children. A mere 30-years ago, my parents were viewed as less-than-human, inferior subhuman beings. How can that be? Why weren't we taught about _"Sheikh Yusuf of Macassar", "Tuan Guru of Robben Island",_ and countless other well-learned, revered personalities who were recognized as such, even by those who enslaved them. Do you get see where I'm coming from? Christendom and Western Civilization unlike most other major empires, set out to destroy peoples, cultures, communities, families... deliberately denying others even basic dignity and recognition.. going as far as to even denying knowing that what they propagate to this day, are are sinister, self-serving sentiments and suggestives. 🔍📚📱 _"Omar Ibn Said"_ _"Sheikh Yusuf of Macassar"_ _"Fatima Al-Firhi"_ _"Tuan Guru of Robben Island"_ 🔍📚📱

Not so fun fact: The same location of the Salem witch trials (Hathorne Hill) is the same location that the infamous Danvers State Hospital (Later Avalon Danvers Condo's/Apartments) sat on, which, in it's own right, had a lot of horrors to tell happen there as well. Imagine so much dark energy from not just one but two extremely dark periods for Upper Boston/Salem Mass.

Ironically, most of these 'witch' tests are actually just really lame forms of witchcraft! So, in the case of something like the 'witch cake' (which is basically making a really gross 'magic' potion), the real witch ironically proved themselves to be the very one making the cake! If it weren't so horrifically sad, it would make for hilarious satire!

The Aftermath of Witch Hunt serves to a cautionary tale: of Manipulating fear and of course in Salem Scapegoating because in Salem (during those days) their justice system is more on confessing than investigating, it answers the question: Do you give a false confession or risk a Public hanging?

The Salem Witch Trials were excused as the inflicted were victims of Ergot poisoning. My biggest issue with this theory is that; if there was an outbreak of Ergot poisoning, why did it only affect that handful of girls? Nobody else suffering from these symptoms! Ergot would have affect more than just those few girls!
