The word ‘witch’ is derived from the Old English words ‘wicca’ meaning ‘wise man’ and ‘wicce’ meaning ‘wise woman.’
Corey: What is evil and goes around and around?
Courtney: A witch on a merry-go-round.
Apparently, even witches get lonely for the company of their own kind. Thus, they gather into ‘covens,’ of between two and thirteen witches. The word ‘coven’ was mostly unused in the English language until 1921, when Margaret Murray advanced the idea that witches across Europe met in groups of 13, which they call covens. When covens gather, they engage in communication with the spirit world, rituals, chants, sharing of news and gossip and recipes for potions and spells, and possibly whatever else your imagination is suggesting to you right now.

At MFOL! we do all of our own stunts, but we must remind folks that flying through the air on a broom involves significant risk, and should be done only after lengthy training, and unlike the young man shown in the image above, should be done while wearing protective gear including a helmet, goggles, and a parachute.

We would not want to attract the ire of any witches, but here is a little secret about the ways of harmless good witches: The ingredients they use in their potions and other concoctions are extraordinarily ordinary, but they give the ingredients fantastic names to keep their recipes secret. So for example, bat wings might really be leaves of cloves, and eye of newt might actually be pearl onions. Some folks just find having secrets makes their lives more interesting - that plus ‘secret recipes’ fetch a higher price in the marketplace than regular ones. On the other hand, malevolent or bad witches might actually use real scales of snakes and warts of toads and hairs of hares in their recipes.

Helen Duncan, a medium, or a person who purports to communicate with the spirit world, was arrested in 1944 in Portsmouth, England. She had been arrested originally for the catch-all charge of vagrancy, but when she came up for trial at the Old Bailey, the police promptly added the charge of witchcraft, and she was tried under the Witchcraft Act of 1735. Her case is the last known instance of a person in England being tried by law as a witch.

Would you be willing to entertain the possibility that witches, along with warlocks, wizards, sorcerers, and sorceresses are not real, but are creations wholly of human imagination? This would mean that some people might like to pretend that they are these things, and some people might accuse other people of being these things, and though they might indeed be either good people or bad people, they are not really witches, warlocks, wizards, sorcerers, or sorceresses.

According to some people, if you wear your clothes inside out and walk backwards on Halloween, you will see a witch at midnight. We strongly advise against doing this, because it could result in tripping, falling, and serious injury. Instead, anyone wanting to see a witch should watch the movie “Hocus Pocus” (1993). It is rated ‘PG’ for ‘Parental Guidance’ advised; however, like all entertainment, it should be reviewed and approved by parents or other grownups for suitability before their children are allowed to see it.

All:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Second Witch:
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a Hell-broth boil and bubble.
All:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

What are witches, and why do some people harm them in words and deeds? Mostly spinsters and widows, so-called ‘witches’ of the present time and historically have been elderly or poor women and less commonly men with limited means, so boiled lizard’s tails, bird’s feet, roots dug from the soil, and anything else they could scavenge or gather would be preferable to starvation. People who are different from them have engaged in persecuting them, motivated by fear and desire to steal property: fear that witches might teach the old ways, such as living in close kinship to nature and practicing natural healing for sickness or injury. To stop the spreading of their knowledge to children, the others scared children away by telling them the lie that witches eat children. Greed for power over others and greed to take others’ property away, like the houses and lands left to them by their deceased husbands or other relatives, motivated the people who oppressed and persecuted the ‘witches,’ who were in fact, not witches, but simply older or poor folks who were often alone, frail, and simply trying their best to survive. The accusations by some humans against others humans, calling them by the name ‘witch’ and similar names and inventing vicious lies about them, has led to the harming of large numbers of innocent people throughout human history and right up to the present day.
