The journal “Women and Explanations for European Witchcraft Beliefs in the 16th and 17th Century,” debates whether witchcraft was a tradition or part of everyday culture. James Sharpe believed that witchcraft was a part of everyday culture during that period. People targeted others for revenge or said they were a witch because they were an outcast. Anne Laurence argues that Christian and secular prosecution developed common tradition of witchcraft by popularizing a belief neither of Sharpes

One thing I don’t like is how the authors, on one hand, is saying witchcraft is a fear of somebody being different, while on the other hand having the main character doing magic and mixing potion. I find it missing the point because Witchcraft is supposing to symbolize people fearing the unknown. However, I feel Ms. Adriana Mather is validating witchcraft is real, therefore making all the accusation of witchcrafts possible instead of complete nonsense.

Sol’s apartment was cluttered with an overabundance of evidence of his unusual art. His kitchen was stuffed to the brim with herbs. Ranging from mundane, like cinnamon, to the more extravagant. Stones and crystals sat in windows, hung above the door, and strangely enough, a light pink crystal sat in the coffee pot when not in use. His witchcraft was even evident in the things he drank and the things he ate. Every morning his coffee was infused with his witchcraft, a pinch of basil, when his check didn’t cover the bills, a dash of nutmeg when his relationship was on the rocks. He never cooked without intent, sauteing only clockwise, making sure to never add herbs that would harm. If he was gifting cookies to a couple he

Hi Nellie! Thanks for the reply. Your right some people probably do try and practice witchcraft in todays society, I am guessing they don't get very far. I find it hard to believe in things like witchcraft. When I was 17 I had a psychic reading at a local county fair. At that time I was very gullible. I felt like she read right through me.

I think that I would only be able to believe in the power that mediums have, if I experience it myself. In
