It actually involves more witchcraft than math, because most of the time you've no idea how it works but you better not start meddling with it

[@mogim815]

maybe from an outsider's perspective, but it feels more like sculpting when you get to know it, taking a rough idea of what exactly you want the code to do, or how you want the sculpture to look, and then slowly chipping away at it by coming up with ideas on how to make the code do that until you finally reach your goal. I think that pure mathematics and physics are a lot closer to the occult than coding, divining the true nature of the universe in search of esoteric knowledge whose true connotations can only be understood by those who have dedicated their lives to studying similar phenomena. If you showed a medieval peasant arabic numerals, it'd probably be a lot like showing alchemical symbols to the average person today.

At the time of me learning that, I was still in high school, and at the time, we were taking this field trip in a museum dedicated to the witch-hunting days of my country. We were getting this tour there, and one room there had these historic spikes in select places on the ceiling: they were placed on one of those historic support poles that you could see on the inside of that building. Back in the witch-hunting days, people believed that a witch's long hair would get caught in those spikes, and they would get trapped that way. I'm a goth with waist-length hair, so you can understand: I had a good chuckle at that part of the lecture, and needless to say that literally everyone in class looked my way during that part of the tour. 🤣

Akchually, witchcraft trials and witchcraft in general were not a thing during medieval times. They thought the very concept of magic other than miracles was little more than superstition. The witchcraft paranoia started in the early modern ages (late 1400') and came to a height in the two following centuries. Hence why all mentioned sources didn't go further back than that. Am I being pedantic? Yes. Is it a common misconception that annoys me? Also yes. Also, fun fact, the witch trials played an important part during the formation of capitalism. For example, in the North American colonies that would go on to form the US, it was a useful tool to strip the social power of women of certain minority groups like Native American women (who often had much more social power within a community compared to European women, especially after the very same witch trials). Another fun fact, though the witch trials were definitely a gendered issue the term "witch" was originally gender-neutral and many men were also tried and killed for witchcraft.

They put heavy stones onto his back, one for each time he denied her witchyness. His will never broke, but his spine did eventually.

Women who did magic and could fly using anything from broomsticks to their husbands. In Denmark however witches weren't believed to have the power to fly. Their favorite transportation was a horse at night. And in Iceland and Finland performing magic was seen as a male thing, so Christians had a hard time convincing the natives witches were women. Instead men got burned and only one or two women were killed.” - Scandinavia and the world

And yet almost every culture around the world has some notion of witches.

Omg this was so funny, it is a crime that i have not found this channel

[@temag_the_engi_man1756]

While the animation is funny and all I sincerely do hope that people do not take this list seriously as it is completely inaccurate. Most 'witch hunts' were carried out by locals against racial and ethnic minorities. The estimated death toll of these 'hunts' is also extremely low, in the range of a couple tens of thousands spread throughout almost a century. My point is it was not some weird anti female cultural thing from the church and its believers as this video makes it seem to be.

[@samnunnink7575]

Thank you! I’ve been looking for this comment. Although it probably wasn’t a racial thing, people didn’t really have a concept of race in the medieval ages. It was probably more religion based, ie Jews, Muslims, ect. I could also be wrong, I just know that race wasn’t a big deal back in the medieval days.

[@whocares3027]

@@samnunnink7575 Absolutely, "witch hunts" were overwhelmingly conducted on religious minorities for the majority of the general medieval period. Blood libels persecuting Jew resulted in the killings of so many innocents, as compared to individual later witch hunts in say, the colonial 13 colonies. Practically everyone in medieval times was held closer to their faith in the church than their precise ethnic background; a Christian Turk in Italy could be more trustworthy and well-liked by their community than an Italian Jew (or even worse, a Muslim) in the same town.

[@ShiftyMcGoggles]

@@samnunnink7575 Yeah, as far as they were concerned, if you're black, it's because you're from somewhere with more sun, which usually meant that the village you were going through were curious to talk with you to learn of your homeland. Most witch hunts were a village or a hamlet that was in the throes of a famine or plague or such, where loads of things were going wrong and everyone was whipped into survival mode, trying to hunt down and stop what they could only assume were forces beyond their understanding.

[@ShiftyMcGoggles]

@@whocares3027 My favourite writing from around that time is a Friar from Italy encountering a Buddhist monk, and assuming he was just an oriental Christian. Which made sense to him, since this guy clearly know who was Jesus and knew of his teachings.

[@cluckcluckchicken]

Women were unfairly targeted in the most famous witch-hunts: the Salem witch trials and early modern witch trials. Just look at number of women vs men accused in Salem. But if you're talking about witch trials across ALL of history, then it's stupid to generalize about anything because you're literally talking about thousands of years of history in completely different places. Witch trials in ancient greece were nothing like witch trials in 17th century germany, duh.

Not medieval (for the most part). Early modern. Medieval ended in 15th century with the fall of the Byzantine Empire, invention on Gutenberg press and the voyage of Christopher Columbus being used as the most common landmarks for the border between the Mediaeval and Modern age, that started with Renaissance - the "Rebirth" era. Also medieval times were actually quite chill when it comes to witch hunts, Catholics didn't care about it for the most part unless it was a witch resisting Christianisation, but it would be the pagan thing that would be the problem for Medieval Catholics, not the witch part really. In Medieval times religious fundamentalism was not really a thing besides some famous cases that got famous because they stood out so much, with religions being more of a social marker of "us and them" where it was mainly the political elites that would care about religion for the sake of politics and the common folk were expected to be uneducated and superstitious. The fundamentalism as we know it and witch hunts are mainly a Protestant thing. In fact, Germans loved to persecute Slavic and Baltic women as witches because they were Catholic or Eastern Orthodox and refused to become Protestant like Prussacks, that refusal was taken as an admission of witchcraft in case of nations occupied by Germans, resisting Germanisation. And then it was the Protestant propaganda of the Enlightenment era about Catholic medieval "dark ages" when educated people started noticing how toxic religion is but being from a Protestant background they couldn't criticise Protestantism out loud lest they become social rejects and their scientific research dubbed the work of satan and even accused of witchcraft themselves, cause that was the Protestant way. Not that Catholics were cool overall cause their persecution of pagans was abhorrent and gave birth to abysmal institutions like the Templars and the Teutonics (who, ironically, would later in appropriate the name of Baltic pagan Prussians and convert to Protestantism and thus become Prussacks), but it was technically persecution of pagans and not witch hunts for until Protestantism became a thing in modern age and I just cringe so hard when I heard of 17th century stuff being presented as the Medieval and those terrible misconceptions about the medieval being spread. Just disconfirming people on things.

[@ferretyluv]

Men could be witches too. Also, the witch-hunts were in the modern era, not medieval.

[@thepoopieshow]

yes, but only 10-30% of them were men. and yes, I have mentioned some 17th century witch accusations. the most famous witch trials are from the modern era, but the hate towards and fear of the stereotypical 'witch' has existed in Europe since 1050

Nothing would have made you a witch in medieval times because (almost) nobody in medieval times believed in witches. The witch panic and persecution was later - mostly in the 17th and 18th Century.

1374 is when witchcraft became properly illegal. the 14th century is the beginning of the witch trials, and I agree it was on a much smaller scale while the true witch paranoia began in early modern ages. but fair point, the title is a bit misleading.
