She flies through the
night on the end of her broom to infect the minds of the sleeping
with her magic, her familiar at her side and destruction in
her wake. This for a very long time has been the portrayal of
the witch. A fantasy thought up by those who took stories too
far. People who refused to embrace the laws of nature for fear
that nature would consume them. Out of this came the accusations.
Accusations that brought thousands of innocent people to a premature
death for crimes uncommitted. But were these accusations of
people who feared for their own lives or merely those of greed
and hatred for others? What better way to rid those towns of
the troublesome who didn't want to abide by the rules and laws
set forth than to start a frenzy amongst the people. Trying,
convicting, and sentencing to death those who didn't want to
obey.
