Burning Witches Pt. 1 (AUDIO ONLY)

1
00:00:09,806 --> 00:00:14,146
Hello witches and wizards and
welcome to Practically Magic.

2
00:00:14,196 --> 00:00:15,606
This is Courtney Pearl.

3
00:00:16,126 --> 00:00:17,356
I am a pagan witch.

4
00:00:18,176 --> 00:00:20,036
I'm a card reader, healer, sorcerer.

5
00:00:20,486 --> 00:00:25,006
Spiritualist, Celtic priestess,
teacher, artist, and mystic seeker.

6
00:00:25,926 --> 00:00:30,036
I am discovering magic and I
would like to share it with you.

7
00:00:31,066 --> 00:00:38,176
Today's episode, we are going to
specifically focus on the title of witch.

8
00:00:39,016 --> 00:00:44,306
Now, I personally call myself a folk
witch because I love folklore and I love

9
00:00:44,316 --> 00:00:52,686
mythology and I love to tie that into
paganism, but I am a lot of things and

10
00:00:52,686 --> 00:00:58,106
one thing I would like to bring forward
today in today's episode is the respect

11
00:00:59,826 --> 00:01:04,816
and title of what it means to be a witch.

12
00:01:05,846 --> 00:01:10,356
And I'm going to do it justice,
hopefully, by talking about witch trials.

13
00:01:11,346 --> 00:01:15,741
I have been preparing Endlessly for
this episode, and I am so excited to

14
00:01:15,741 --> 00:01:19,621
share what I have learned with you and
hopefully I can do it justice, but I'm

15
00:01:19,621 --> 00:01:27,511
going to start by pulling a card and by no
other deck would today's episode be, but

16
00:01:30,001 --> 00:01:32,571
the Witch's Wisdom Tarot deck.

17
00:01:32,991 --> 00:01:36,201
And that is the one I'm going to
pull a card from today to help

18
00:01:36,201 --> 00:01:39,221
us with today's episode, to be a.

19
00:01:40,751 --> 00:01:45,181
theme for today's episode and what it
is we're going to bring to the table.

20
00:01:48,981 --> 00:01:57,981
All right, so today's card that I have
pulled, oh my gosh, this is amazing.

21
00:01:59,246 --> 00:02:00,586
If only you could see it.

22
00:02:00,626 --> 00:02:04,236
I'm going to show it on the video for
those who are able to see the video.

23
00:02:05,406 --> 00:02:08,326
It is the card of love.

24
00:02:10,646 --> 00:02:16,526
And that almost makes me tear up when I
look at it because of all of the research

25
00:02:16,526 --> 00:02:20,416
that I've done this week and all of the
contemplating that I have done about what

26
00:02:20,416 --> 00:02:23,496
it truly means to call oneself a witch.

27
00:02:24,641 --> 00:02:30,261
To own that title and to allow
myself permission to lean into

28
00:02:30,261 --> 00:02:39,941
that, this card feels so appropriate
because it's the image of a young

29
00:02:39,941 --> 00:02:44,691
girl and she is petting a fox.

30
00:02:45,626 --> 00:02:50,286
And he's looking at her lovingly, and
she's looking at him lovingly, and it's

31
00:02:50,326 --> 00:02:53,856
almost like they're having this moment
where they're going to touch noses

32
00:02:53,896 --> 00:03:01,116
or give each other a little kiss, and
they're surrounded by dandelion flowers

33
00:03:01,166 --> 00:03:05,926
and other, um, kind of prickly flowers.

34
00:03:05,926 --> 00:03:06,691
I'm not an herb.

35
00:03:07,001 --> 00:03:11,041
Which, so I cannot name all of these
plants and herbs and flowers that I

36
00:03:11,041 --> 00:03:15,561
can see in the picture, but I know
they're significant because I have

37
00:03:15,561 --> 00:03:20,951
a feeling like the dandelion weed,
we have cast it out from society.

38
00:03:20,951 --> 00:03:27,081
We've told each other and the dandelion
that it's not welcome, and we've called

39
00:03:27,081 --> 00:03:31,861
it a weed and we've produced chemical
weed killers that are to get rid of it.

40
00:03:32,906 --> 00:03:37,276
And for those who understand and know
a little bit about the dandelion, it's

41
00:03:37,276 --> 00:03:42,876
actually a very healing herb, and it's,
um, a wonderful pollinator for bees.

42
00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:49,636
It's actually a, an incredibly
helpful plant if we allow it to be,

43
00:03:50,446 --> 00:03:52,416
um, of course, I live in Daybreak.

44
00:03:52,456 --> 00:03:53,536
We have an HOA.

45
00:03:53,616 --> 00:03:54,546
We have.

46
00:03:55,236 --> 00:03:57,736
No room for dandelions.

47
00:03:57,846 --> 00:04:03,536
You will get an HOA fine and a letter if
you have dandelions all over your yard.

48
00:04:04,246 --> 00:04:08,946
It's the reality of the world we
live in right now, but this poor.

49
00:04:09,456 --> 00:04:14,466
flower, weed, whatever you want to
call it, has really been an outcast in

50
00:04:14,466 --> 00:04:20,746
a society that has deemed it unworthy
or inappropriate, and not allowed

51
00:04:20,746 --> 00:04:26,826
to flourish, and not allowed to be,
and not even allowed to help in the

52
00:04:27,046 --> 00:04:33,336
herbal medicine way that it can, that
it's actually making dandelion tea

53
00:04:33,376 --> 00:04:36,416
is incredibly healing and useful.

54
00:04:38,411 --> 00:04:47,011
And that does not even come close
to all of the theme of today's

55
00:04:47,041 --> 00:04:49,341
episode, what it's going to be about.

56
00:04:50,011 --> 00:04:51,781
I've donned my witch's gear.

57
00:04:52,221 --> 00:04:55,551
I am dressed and ready for the occasion.

58
00:04:55,941 --> 00:04:58,921
I cannot even begin to tell you
how excited I am to talk about

59
00:04:59,061 --> 00:05:03,631
this subject, but I need to start
with a little personal story.

60
00:05:04,641 --> 00:05:11,971
So, uh, A few years ago, I was just in the
beginning of my energy healing awakening.

61
00:05:12,341 --> 00:05:17,171
Um, I, I dare say that I've
always been someone who was

62
00:05:17,331 --> 00:05:19,251
seeking something my entire life.

63
00:05:19,291 --> 00:05:25,481
So I cannot definitively say when my
journey started into the world of magic,

64
00:05:25,561 --> 00:05:30,816
energy, Whatever it is that, that you
want to call being a spiritualist, being,

65
00:05:30,836 --> 00:05:37,306
being pagan, being a healer, but I was in
the beginning of kind of my awareness of

66
00:05:37,306 --> 00:05:43,916
this type of work and I went to a Reiki
healer locally here in Daybreak, um,

67
00:05:43,916 --> 00:05:50,926
and she is my Reiki master, my mentor,
and she, um, I had not had a Reiki

68
00:05:50,936 --> 00:05:55,676
session before, but I knew that this
was something that I was very interested

69
00:05:55,676 --> 00:06:01,336
in and something that I would probably
want to learn how to do myself one day.

70
00:06:01,906 --> 00:06:06,146
So it was kind of in the beginning
of that curiosity and wanting to seek

71
00:06:06,146 --> 00:06:13,596
this out and to make this a regular
thing for me, not just a, um, a

72
00:06:13,596 --> 00:06:18,781
nice, Relaxing session, but also kind
of a, I need to know what this is.

73
00:06:18,831 --> 00:06:22,251
I need to fill this out and I need to know
if this is the right path for me to take.

74
00:06:22,861 --> 00:06:27,501
And I went to this Reiki healer and
she, um, was doing a Reiki session with

75
00:06:27,501 --> 00:06:32,131
me and it was incredibly profound in
that I felt the energy very strongly.

76
00:06:32,491 --> 00:06:36,521
I was, um, I was almost a little
bit surprised at how much I was

77
00:06:36,531 --> 00:06:40,211
able to feel it even without.

78
00:06:40,671 --> 00:06:43,901
It was, you know, the unseen
forces of the energy work going on.

79
00:06:44,311 --> 00:06:48,131
Um, my logical brain was having a
little bit of a hard time with it.

80
00:06:48,231 --> 00:06:52,301
You know, my imaginative brain, my
creative brain was very much on board.

81
00:06:52,751 --> 00:06:54,731
It's like, yes, I believe
that this is real.

82
00:06:54,761 --> 00:06:56,011
I believe that this is happening.

83
00:06:56,071 --> 00:06:58,081
I know what's what this is about.

84
00:06:58,781 --> 00:07:01,014
And, um, I'm equally left and right brain.

85
00:07:01,014 --> 00:07:06,046
So my left brain was going, um, We
can't actually prove or see what's

86
00:07:06,046 --> 00:07:09,646
happening, so let me just, let me just
think about this for a little bit.

87
00:07:10,826 --> 00:07:16,716
And um, my Reiki healer, she just
happens to be also a medium and um, she

88
00:07:16,766 --> 00:07:23,861
also now does and includes past life
regression in her work, uh, which I very

89
00:07:23,861 --> 00:07:26,201
much plan to take part in eventually.

90
00:07:26,671 --> 00:07:31,361
But in this session, she told me, I
can see you in many of your past lives.

91
00:07:32,521 --> 00:07:34,911
And at this point in my life, I
wasn't even sure if I believed in

92
00:07:34,911 --> 00:07:40,721
reincarnation or if that was something
that I you know, falls into my belief

93
00:07:40,721 --> 00:07:42,761
system, but I was sort of open to it.

94
00:07:42,841 --> 00:07:49,001
And she said, I can see you in many
lifetimes that you are a person

95
00:07:49,001 --> 00:07:51,141
who people came to for answers.

96
00:07:51,201 --> 00:07:53,271
You were a person with a lot of wisdom.

97
00:07:54,021 --> 00:07:59,851
You were not always necessarily included
or accepted in mainstream society.

98
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:04,896
Sometimes you had to live on the
outskirts, and I can see you living

99
00:08:04,906 --> 00:08:10,576
in maybe a little cottage on the, on
the hill or in, on the cliffs by the

100
00:08:10,576 --> 00:08:16,366
ocean, um, a little bit outcast from
society, but still someone people

101
00:08:16,416 --> 00:08:18,756
sought out for answers, for help.

102
00:08:19,196 --> 00:08:24,106
You had knowledge that, you know, in
herbal medicines or in different things

103
00:08:24,106 --> 00:08:26,846
that people sought you out to, to attain.

104
00:08:28,216 --> 00:08:31,786
And, and I was kind of like, Oh, okay.

105
00:08:31,816 --> 00:08:34,626
Yeah, that feels good to me.

106
00:08:34,806 --> 00:08:38,716
Um, I would like to be a person
that can help other people.

107
00:08:38,746 --> 00:08:42,786
I would like to be a person that
people saw as helpful or useful.

108
00:08:43,256 --> 00:08:48,316
Um, I love sharing what I know and
I love teaching and I love, um,

109
00:08:48,666 --> 00:08:53,146
speaking to crowds or to people who
are interested in what I have to say.

110
00:08:53,856 --> 00:08:55,166
So this feels right to me.

111
00:08:55,736 --> 00:09:04,351
Um, then she went on to say, I
Know that you were one of the

112
00:09:04,351 --> 00:09:08,401
women who were accused and tried

113
00:09:10,631 --> 00:09:11,751
and executed.

114
00:09:12,041 --> 00:09:13,431
In the Salem Witch Trials.

115
00:09:15,031 --> 00:09:18,861
And I do believe that you were
in the last wave of executions.

116
00:09:20,561 --> 00:09:25,291
And I want you to go look up the names
because I feel strongly that you will

117
00:09:25,301 --> 00:09:27,671
recognize your name when you see it.

118
00:09:29,171 --> 00:09:31,771
Now, this is a little bit more
specific and a little bit shocking

119
00:09:31,771 --> 00:09:33,441
to me, but I was like, Oh, wow.

120
00:09:33,471 --> 00:09:34,021
Okay.

121
00:09:34,561 --> 00:09:36,011
Um, that's.

122
00:09:36,571 --> 00:09:43,291
kind of cool and kind of sad and
interesting and, um, and I was a

123
00:09:43,291 --> 00:09:45,171
little bit of excited to try it out.

124
00:09:45,231 --> 00:09:53,771
I mean, I was still kind of in that
skeptical, uh, place where I'm like, okay,

125
00:09:53,831 --> 00:09:58,076
I mean, Wouldn't it be kind of cool if
everybody could go around saying like,

126
00:09:58,086 --> 00:10:00,206
oh, yes, I was one of the Salem Witch.

127
00:10:00,746 --> 00:10:02,856
I was one of them, you know, I'm a witch.

128
00:10:02,856 --> 00:10:05,646
And so, therefore, I was
one of the Salem Witches.

129
00:10:06,726 --> 00:10:10,346
Um, little too convenient,
you know, for me, but.

130
00:10:11,476 --> 00:10:14,686
But I thought, okay, I will,
I will go check this out.

131
00:10:14,756 --> 00:10:16,376
I will see what I, what I feel about this.

132
00:10:16,426 --> 00:10:20,896
And this at the time, a lot of the
seeking that I was doing, a lot of the,

133
00:10:20,906 --> 00:10:24,716
the introspection I was going through was
because I was going through a really hard

134
00:10:24,716 --> 00:10:28,276
time, which is very common for people who
are going through the dark night of the

135
00:10:28,396 --> 00:10:34,601
soul and coming through it with, Um, new
understandings and new seeking and wanting

136
00:10:34,601 --> 00:10:41,281
to find what is more truthful and more,
um, aligned with their belief systems.

137
00:10:41,321 --> 00:10:47,941
And, um, at the time my husband was in
recovery and struggling with addiction.

138
00:10:48,061 --> 00:10:54,941
Um, he was, is an alcoholic and he
was always, um, you know, kind of.

139
00:10:55,971 --> 00:11:02,501
Searching for that answer on how to, uh,
recover from this addiction and how to,

140
00:11:02,631 --> 00:11:06,151
um, you know, really beat it, I guess.

141
00:11:06,671 --> 00:11:10,331
And we were going through a lot
at the time, and I was in a very,

142
00:11:10,351 --> 00:11:13,681
very dark place, kind of wondering
what was going to happen to us.

143
00:11:13,681 --> 00:11:15,141
What was our future going to be like?

144
00:11:15,171 --> 00:11:19,041
How were we going to, how was our
marriage going to survive this?

145
00:11:19,241 --> 00:11:22,881
Because, you know, I was really in a
place where I knew that my marriage

146
00:11:22,881 --> 00:11:24,086
could not survive it if it didn't happen.

147
00:11:24,456 --> 00:11:25,756
continued the way that it was.

148
00:11:26,446 --> 00:11:30,496
And I love my husband so much and
I would always love him, but I

149
00:11:30,496 --> 00:11:34,516
needed to kind of figure peace out.

150
00:11:34,576 --> 00:11:38,906
And it was, um, you know, seeking
alternative methods of healing like

151
00:11:38,906 --> 00:11:41,156
Reiki was part of that journey.

152
00:11:42,276 --> 00:11:49,946
And so, um, I did go home and I started
looking into what, what were the names

153
00:11:49,946 --> 00:11:55,871
of the witches that were, you know,
Condemned and convicted and hanged and

154
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:58,171
who was in the last wave of it, right?

155
00:11:58,211 --> 00:12:01,501
Because the Stalingrad trials
only lasted for two years

156
00:12:01,571 --> 00:12:03,911
and, um, or between two years.

157
00:12:03,941 --> 00:12:09,251
And so, uh, there was just a few
names at the very end of those

158
00:12:09,271 --> 00:12:12,111
trials that were tried and convicted.

159
00:12:12,131 --> 00:12:12,811
And I.

160
00:12:13,811 --> 00:12:16,781
Looked at the names, the list of
names, and there was one name that

161
00:12:16,871 --> 00:12:21,091
stood out to me very, very BAM.

162
00:12:23,391 --> 00:12:24,861
I don't know any other way to explain it.

163
00:12:24,871 --> 00:12:28,861
Just that my intuition saw
this name and said, that's it.

164
00:12:29,451 --> 00:12:30,701
That's you.

165
00:12:31,711 --> 00:12:33,431
This is who you were.

166
00:12:34,981 --> 00:12:40,571
And when I had that feeling,
it was kind of, um, BAM.

167
00:12:42,021 --> 00:12:46,501
Validating, I guess, in just being
able to say, Listen, anyone else in the

168
00:12:46,501 --> 00:12:48,351
whole world can say that's not real.

169
00:12:48,691 --> 00:12:49,731
You don't know.

170
00:12:50,091 --> 00:12:51,311
How can you prove that?

171
00:12:51,531 --> 00:12:52,181
Well, I can't.

172
00:12:52,671 --> 00:12:54,381
It's totally my story.

173
00:12:54,451 --> 00:12:56,041
And I'm the one who gets to tell it.

174
00:12:56,161 --> 00:12:58,211
So I'm here telling you this story.

175
00:12:59,176 --> 00:13:01,656
And my name was Alice Parker.

176
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:08,776
Alice Parker, as I looked into it a
little bit further, she was the wife

177
00:13:08,776 --> 00:13:10,706
of John Parker, who was a fisherman.

178
00:13:10,716 --> 00:13:14,746
He was a lot of times out to sea and she
was left alone with the children in a

179
00:13:14,746 --> 00:13:17,776
house that they rented, um, in Salem town.

180
00:13:18,716 --> 00:13:26,586
And Um, she was accused by Mary Warren,
who was a servant girl in the Proctor

181
00:13:26,586 --> 00:13:35,796
house and Mary Warren at one point,
Mary Warren's father, um, was asked

182
00:13:35,796 --> 00:13:40,506
by Alice Parker to help cut down the
hay so they could feed their horses.

183
00:13:41,016 --> 00:13:45,666
She probably was alone and she
probably needed his help in

184
00:13:45,666 --> 00:13:50,466
cutting the hay down and, um.

185
00:13:52,401 --> 00:13:54,071
He denied help.

186
00:13:54,121 --> 00:13:55,981
He did not go help her.

187
00:13:56,461 --> 00:14:03,801
And so Alice Parker, being kind of
a strong willed woman that she was,

188
00:14:04,031 --> 00:14:09,561
went to the home, the Warren home,
and basically yelled at them for,

189
00:14:10,261 --> 00:14:14,321
and condemned them and said, how
dare you not help me when I need it.

190
00:14:15,181 --> 00:14:19,551
And it was right after that that
they, uh, that Mary Warren's

191
00:14:19,571 --> 00:14:22,201
mother and sister became sick.

192
00:14:22,321 --> 00:14:31,926
And Um, her mother died and her sister
was, um, was left deaf from the illness.

193
00:14:32,706 --> 00:14:35,966
And so Mary had a reason
not to like Alice Parker.

194
00:14:36,036 --> 00:14:40,706
So at the end, um, as, as they were coming
to the end of these, um, witch trials and

195
00:14:40,706 --> 00:14:46,616
everyone was accusing so and so and every,
you know, the girls were accusing everyone

196
00:14:46,616 --> 00:14:48,546
that they had ever had any encounter with.

197
00:14:48,546 --> 00:14:52,066
And then some of them were accused and
then they would name names and it went

198
00:14:52,066 --> 00:14:54,366
on and on like this for all this time.

199
00:14:55,481 --> 00:15:03,341
Um, she accused Alice Parker and the
stories told about Alice, uh, one was

200
00:15:03,341 --> 00:15:10,821
that she was found once, um, in the
snow, uh, kind of, uh, like she was

201
00:15:10,821 --> 00:15:17,111
dead, she wasn't moving, she was stiff
and she, um, they thought she was dead,

202
00:15:17,111 --> 00:15:18,751
but she popped up and she was fine.

203
00:15:19,361 --> 00:15:24,601
Um, some, say that it's possible
that she had a disease, um,

204
00:15:26,891 --> 00:15:32,481
catalepsy, uh, which would be kind
of like an epilepsy type of illness

205
00:15:32,491 --> 00:15:36,011
where sometimes she would, um,
go unconscious from time to time.

206
00:15:36,011 --> 00:15:39,011
So it's possible that she had this
and that's why she was found every

207
00:15:39,011 --> 00:15:40,581
once in a while kind of unconscious.

208
00:15:41,531 --> 00:15:46,061
Um, But some of my favorite stories
about her is that, uh, a man named John

209
00:15:46,061 --> 00:15:53,331
Westgate, uh, told a story about how her
husband, John Parker, was in the tavern at

210
00:15:53,391 --> 00:16:00,631
Sam Beetle's Tavern and in comes storming
in Alice Parker to yell at her husband and

211
00:16:00,631 --> 00:16:05,031
tell him he needs to get his drunk A home.

212
00:16:05,371 --> 00:16:09,411
And, um, and as she was
yelling at her husband to, to

213
00:16:09,736 --> 00:16:11,286
get on home from the tavern.

214
00:16:11,596 --> 00:16:16,036
Um, John Westgate tried to,
uh, calm her down and she told

215
00:16:16,036 --> 00:16:18,156
him to mind his own business.

216
00:16:19,336 --> 00:16:24,476
Now, if there was a story that made
me think, yes, I have found her.

217
00:16:24,786 --> 00:16:25,756
This is me.

218
00:16:25,766 --> 00:16:26,746
This is Courtney.

219
00:16:26,776 --> 00:16:28,686
This is Courtney reincarnated.

220
00:16:29,206 --> 00:16:31,996
Uh, a reincarnated Alice Parker.

221
00:16:32,216 --> 00:16:33,636
That story was it.

222
00:16:34,056 --> 00:16:35,036
That was the clincher.

223
00:16:35,926 --> 00:16:36,896
And so.

224
00:16:37,336 --> 00:16:44,146
In diving into these stories and
history of witch trials, I take a

225
00:16:44,146 --> 00:16:48,676
very personal note to this subject.

226
00:16:49,346 --> 00:16:53,856
Not only because I do believe myself
to be the reincarnated Alice Parker,

227
00:16:53,856 --> 00:16:59,136
but also because I have a little bit
of trouble, as some women still do,

228
00:16:59,436 --> 00:17:01,586
with claiming the title of witch.

229
00:17:02,666 --> 00:17:09,426
When I first started this podcast, it
was, um, I was introduced to people in

230
00:17:09,426 --> 00:17:11,656
the community as this is Courtney Pearl.

231
00:17:11,706 --> 00:17:13,466
She's, she's our local witch.

232
00:17:14,396 --> 00:17:17,996
Um, and that was exciting
and funny and fun.

233
00:17:18,846 --> 00:17:23,156
And there was also a very
strong hesitation for me to

234
00:17:23,156 --> 00:17:25,286
be able to claim that title.

235
00:17:25,686 --> 00:17:29,046
I think of myself as an
emotional and energy healer.

236
00:17:29,116 --> 00:17:31,986
I think of myself as a Reiki practitioner.

237
00:17:32,286 --> 00:17:40,441
I think of myself as, um, as a priestess
because my, um, my sort of way that

238
00:17:40,441 --> 00:17:45,161
I show up in the world is that I like
to help guide people through their

239
00:17:45,161 --> 00:17:50,511
important milestones of life, walking
people through the portals and milestones

240
00:17:51,051 --> 00:17:57,971
through ritual and, and blessing
and as a service to my community.

241
00:17:58,371 --> 00:17:59,941
And that is who I want to be.

242
00:18:00,051 --> 00:18:03,911
I want to be someone who uses my gifts
and talents and knowledge as service.

243
00:18:05,241 --> 00:18:11,811
But then when I start thinking about that
and I think, but then what is a witch?

244
00:18:12,821 --> 00:18:17,631
And it's not necessarily Wiccan
because I know a lot of people that are

245
00:18:17,631 --> 00:18:23,611
going to, um, associate the claim to
being a witch as I must be a Wiccan.

246
00:18:23,961 --> 00:18:26,621
Now Wiccan is its own
religious organization.

247
00:18:26,661 --> 00:18:31,691
They have their own practices, their own
belief system, their own deities, their

248
00:18:31,721 --> 00:18:36,811
own higher power, their own doctrine,
and they don't own the word witch.

249
00:18:38,291 --> 00:18:44,011
They derive their religion from
being a witch, so calling it Wiccan.

250
00:18:44,041 --> 00:18:49,921
But I am not a Wiccan, and I do
not subscribe to any very rigid

251
00:18:50,001 --> 00:18:54,021
doctrine or, or belief system.

252
00:18:54,261 --> 00:18:58,271
But what is it about women?

253
00:18:58,811 --> 00:19:05,451
And witches throughout history that
have been accused and tried, Alice

254
00:19:05,481 --> 00:19:07,881
Parker most likely was not a witch.

255
00:19:08,621 --> 00:19:12,341
Here I am in this lifetime talking
about being a witch, and there

256
00:19:12,341 --> 00:19:16,021
is something inside me that goes,
Ooh, don't be too loud about that.

257
00:19:16,491 --> 00:19:17,831
Don't actually say it.

258
00:19:18,761 --> 00:19:21,881
There's a little bit of fear there,
a witch's wound, if you will.

259
00:19:22,901 --> 00:19:27,751
So why, why women, why are women
accused of witchcraft and being witches?

260
00:19:28,311 --> 00:19:29,231
Why witchcraft?

261
00:19:29,251 --> 00:19:31,931
And to understand that you'd
have to understand a lot of the

262
00:19:31,981 --> 00:19:35,591
socioeconomic, political, and
religious climate of every place in

263
00:19:35,601 --> 00:19:37,391
time that witch trials have happened.

264
00:19:37,911 --> 00:19:40,811
I'm not going to go into detail on
all of that, but I'm going to provide

265
00:19:40,811 --> 00:19:42,381
resources if you're interested.

266
00:19:42,941 --> 00:19:45,101
Um, in my blog, I will.

267
00:19:46,066 --> 00:19:50,876
I will post everything that I did
to research for this topic today.

268
00:19:51,666 --> 00:19:54,936
Just understand that no
witch trial is the same.

269
00:19:55,956 --> 00:20:00,656
That everything happened because of the
circumstances and the climate around what

270
00:20:01,126 --> 00:20:03,086
was going on at the time that it happened.

271
00:20:03,946 --> 00:20:08,506
And that no witch trial
Exists in a vacuum.

272
00:20:09,246 --> 00:20:12,636
It didn't just pop up
and just happen, right?

273
00:20:12,676 --> 00:20:16,476
It wasn't just that those girls at the
Salem Witch Trials, if you've read The

274
00:20:16,476 --> 00:20:20,926
Crucible, or if you know the notorious
story of the Salem Witch Trials, you

275
00:20:20,926 --> 00:20:26,541
know that it kind of was kicked off or
sparked by young girls claiming that

276
00:20:26,551 --> 00:20:30,911
they were being pinched and slapped and
cursed by women of the village and that

277
00:20:30,911 --> 00:20:35,391
it was their spirit form that would
show up and do these harmful things.

278
00:20:36,241 --> 00:20:39,231
And then there was this whole
story about a devil's book.

279
00:20:40,166 --> 00:20:41,966
And we'll get into that
a little bit later.

280
00:20:42,436 --> 00:20:45,636
But as I'm doing this research,
what kind of sparked my interest

281
00:20:45,756 --> 00:20:49,776
in doing an episode about this
was that I was doing the research

282
00:20:49,776 --> 00:20:52,016
and presenting things for Beltane.

283
00:20:52,386 --> 00:20:58,376
You know that on May 1st, we had,
um, what is celebrated in the pagan

284
00:20:58,376 --> 00:21:01,696
societies as May 1st or Beltane.

285
00:21:01,706 --> 00:21:03,196
It is May Day, right?

286
00:21:04,236 --> 00:21:08,496
Well, my producer Blane was like, Oh, if
you're going to talk about Beltane, you

287
00:21:08,496 --> 00:21:10,776
have to talk about Wild Purgus Night.

288
00:21:11,746 --> 00:21:14,746
I may or may not be saying that
correctly, so I apologize if my

289
00:21:14,746 --> 00:21:17,246
German does not sound very good.

290
00:21:17,266 --> 00:21:25,746
But in the 8th century, there was a
saint's day of, uh, Saint Walpurga.

291
00:21:26,026 --> 00:21:29,796
So she was an English nun who
traveled to Germany on a mission to

292
00:21:29,796 --> 00:21:31,906
convert the populace to Christianity.

293
00:21:32,456 --> 00:21:34,736
Remember, this is way
back in the 8th century.

294
00:21:35,106 --> 00:21:37,466
I mean, this is a really,
really long time ago, okay?

295
00:21:37,736 --> 00:21:41,231
But this is Revival of the Christian.

296
00:21:42,241 --> 00:21:43,081
I say revival.

297
00:21:43,131 --> 00:21:47,261
I mean, um, the widespreadness of
Christian Church all over Europe.

298
00:21:47,801 --> 00:21:53,111
So she had become an Abbess there
in Germany and she was sainted for

299
00:21:53,111 --> 00:22:00,866
ridding the Of pests of whooping
cough and illness and witchcraft.

300
00:22:01,436 --> 00:22:06,536
So she's as associated with Beltane
or mayday celebrations in Sweden,

301
00:22:06,536 --> 00:22:10,316
Norway, Germany, Austria, Denmark,
lots of places in the, in, in the

302
00:22:10,346 --> 00:22:14,936
kind of those countries, because
it is rumored that she had her

303
00:22:14,936 --> 00:22:19,196
canonization on, uh, May 1st in 1870.

304
00:22:19,936 --> 00:22:20,416
So.

305
00:22:21,576 --> 00:22:26,936
It's interesting that she is sainted for
ridding the world of witchcraft and she

306
00:22:26,936 --> 00:22:29,286
would be known for lighting bonfires.

307
00:22:30,076 --> 00:22:35,896
Bonfires were lit, uh, for many, many
centuries after this to rid the world of

308
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:41,246
witches and rid the world of evil spirits,
um, or at least protect their towns.

309
00:22:42,146 --> 00:22:45,186
Um, what's interesting about
this is that over time, it's

310
00:22:45,186 --> 00:22:47,176
sort of merged in with the pagan.

311
00:22:47,651 --> 00:22:48,931
Festivals of May Day.

312
00:22:48,951 --> 00:22:52,191
And so now it's kind of
like a witch's night.

313
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:57,331
Um, it's almost like the pagans
decided we're taking it back.

314
00:22:57,941 --> 00:23:02,961
So now it's, uh, Valpurgisnet,
which means the Eve of St.

315
00:23:02,961 --> 00:23:04,511
Valpurgis.

316
00:23:04,891 --> 00:23:07,651
And It means, um, the night before.

317
00:23:07,751 --> 00:23:11,211
So it is celebrated on
April 30th every year.

318
00:23:11,471 --> 00:23:15,201
They light the bonfires, which
are already, as I mentioned in

319
00:23:15,201 --> 00:23:19,651
the Belting episode, already,
um, a symbol of cleansing for

320
00:23:19,671 --> 00:23:21,871
May and for the start of summer.

321
00:23:22,921 --> 00:23:27,331
But that is a really early
indication of when witches

322
00:23:27,351 --> 00:23:30,181
were sort of in people's mind.

323
00:23:30,601 --> 00:23:32,321
I mean, that's way back
in the 8th century.

324
00:23:32,331 --> 00:23:37,321
We're talking about, like, the beginning
of Christianity here in, in spreading in

325
00:23:37,321 --> 00:23:40,361
the world, and they're already saying,
let's rid the world of witchcraft.

326
00:23:41,211 --> 00:23:45,891
What that means to me is witchcraft
equals or equates to paganism.

327
00:23:46,331 --> 00:23:51,491
Um, religious beliefs based on the earth
and the land and the gods of the land.

328
00:23:52,156 --> 00:23:56,966
Um, that when we want to purge the world
of that, it would be the same as witches,

329
00:23:57,616 --> 00:24:02,306
which is my favorite definition of which
is because all I really am is a pagan.

330
00:24:02,866 --> 00:24:09,166
I'm a person who celebrates and, um,
gives gratitude and energy and love

331
00:24:09,316 --> 00:24:13,256
back to the earth in appreciation and
gratitude for what the earth does for us.

332
00:24:14,256 --> 00:24:14,746
So.

333
00:24:15,961 --> 00:24:19,441
There were witch trials going on
in France and Switzerland around

334
00:24:19,441 --> 00:24:22,541
1428, all the way up until 1447.

335
00:24:23,171 --> 00:24:26,811
And then we have this really interesting
story where King James, the 1st of.

336
00:24:28,201 --> 00:24:28,811
England.

337
00:24:29,411 --> 00:24:34,171
This is the, um, the King who inherited
the throne after Elizabeth the first.

338
00:24:34,351 --> 00:24:37,261
And so, as you know, during the
Tudors, there was the whole reformation

339
00:24:37,261 --> 00:24:38,691
of the, of the Church of England.

340
00:24:39,291 --> 00:24:45,001
Um, so King Henry VIII started the
Church of England and Queen Elizabeth

341
00:24:45,081 --> 00:24:46,441
reformed the Church of England.

342
00:24:46,521 --> 00:24:50,681
And it was sort of this whole
battle between, um, are we going

343
00:24:50,681 --> 00:24:54,351
to be a Catholic nation or are we
going to be a Protestant nation?

344
00:24:54,891 --> 00:24:59,226
And then during this time, it was
sort of a birth of Puritan culture.

345
00:24:59,816 --> 00:25:03,556
So there was sort of the Protestants
or the Church of England that were

346
00:25:03,556 --> 00:25:07,676
kind of like, Hey, this is how we're
going to practice our religion.

347
00:25:08,196 --> 00:25:12,656
And The Puritans were kind of
like, yeah, that sounds great,

348
00:25:12,656 --> 00:25:14,186
except it doesn't go far enough.

349
00:25:14,676 --> 00:25:16,136
We need it to be stricter.

350
00:25:16,426 --> 00:25:20,126
We need to really, really double
down on fighting the devil

351
00:25:20,286 --> 00:25:21,486
because the devil's everywhere.

352
00:25:21,866 --> 00:25:25,726
And witches who are in Congress
with the devil are everywhere.

353
00:25:25,776 --> 00:25:28,486
And we're really going to
work on purifying the earth.

354
00:25:29,396 --> 00:25:32,476
So that was kind of like the
Puritan culture was born.

355
00:25:33,976 --> 00:25:37,296
I love the story of King James the
first, because he goes on a boat to go

356
00:25:37,296 --> 00:25:39,216
get his Dutch princess and marry her.

357
00:25:39,666 --> 00:25:40,346
Well, on.

358
00:25:40,651 --> 00:25:48,461
The way back, he meets some stormy
seas and someone on the boat, I

359
00:25:48,461 --> 00:25:53,021
don't know who it was, but this guy,
he's a problem because he says to

360
00:25:53,021 --> 00:25:56,901
King James the first, Whoa, these
stormy seas are pretty terrible.

361
00:25:56,911 --> 00:25:58,371
It must be a witch on board.

362
00:25:59,281 --> 00:26:04,081
And that sparked something in King
James that ignites a fire under him

363
00:26:04,081 --> 00:26:06,731
that says, okay, then witches are bad.

364
00:26:06,941 --> 00:26:08,061
Witches are around.

365
00:26:08,151 --> 00:26:08,911
They're here.

366
00:26:08,971 --> 00:26:09,991
We need to get rid of them.

367
00:26:10,891 --> 00:26:18,501
And As we know, witch trials and
witch hunters in England, Scotland,

368
00:26:19,251 --> 00:26:20,781
it goes a little nuts after that.

369
00:26:20,881 --> 00:26:29,011
So around the 1597 all the way through
the 1600s into the late 1600s, you have

370
00:26:29,061 --> 00:26:32,781
the great witch hunt in 1597 in Scotland.

371
00:26:33,691 --> 00:26:37,921
There were 400 people dead in England
and there were 4, 000 to 6, 000

372
00:26:37,931 --> 00:26:39,791
on trial and executed in Scotland.

373
00:26:40,021 --> 00:26:44,881
So we have witch trials and
executions happening by the

374
00:26:45,051 --> 00:26:47,321
thousands all over Europe.

375
00:26:48,001 --> 00:26:52,501
One of my favorite and also
saddest stories is the witch trials

376
00:26:52,531 --> 00:26:56,751
happening in Sweden in 1674 to 1675.

377
00:26:57,051 --> 00:27:01,501
This is the largest witch hunt and
execution in Europe or anywhere.

378
00:27:02,501 --> 00:27:10,976
So we often hear about Salem witch trials,
but this Was epic and super duper sad.

379
00:27:11,556 --> 00:27:17,336
So I think the story with a little bit
of distance and space can be seen as

380
00:27:17,336 --> 00:27:22,966
kind of funny, but when looked at on a
human perspective, it's incredibly sad.

381
00:27:24,026 --> 00:27:24,786
Here's what happened.

382
00:27:24,796 --> 00:27:27,156
It was Torksaker, Sweden.

383
00:27:27,156 --> 00:27:30,326
It was on an island, um, a
little bit remote island.

384
00:27:30,416 --> 00:27:32,256
So off, uh, away from sea.

385
00:27:33,041 --> 00:27:40,561
Some of the other, um, society of that
time, you have this minister and because

386
00:27:40,811 --> 00:27:46,841
of certain events that had happened
before this, a girl had gotten sick and

387
00:27:46,841 --> 00:27:51,531
they had to, um, Find the witch that
was making her sick and execute her.

388
00:27:51,911 --> 00:27:56,621
And this sort of sparked this whole
outrage of looking for witches.

389
00:27:57,701 --> 00:28:02,301
And this minister, what he did is
he picked two boys, two young boys

390
00:28:02,531 --> 00:28:08,101
from his, um, parishioners, and he
had them stand outside the church.

391
00:28:08,461 --> 00:28:13,541
On either side of the door, and they claim
to be able to see the devil's mark on the

392
00:28:13,541 --> 00:28:15,681
forehead of people as they were coming in.

393
00:28:16,321 --> 00:28:19,561
So they would let the minister
know who had the mark of the devil.

394
00:28:19,561 --> 00:28:24,301
And then the minister would, um,
move forward with arresting them.

395
00:28:25,131 --> 00:28:26,191
Now, this went on.

396
00:28:27,271 --> 00:28:30,431
For a while, for, for a good long time,

397
00:28:32,671 --> 00:28:39,331
it, uh, it sort of hit its peak when
they, uh, named the minister's wife.

398
00:28:40,011 --> 00:28:42,831
One of the boys claimed that they
could see the devil's mark on

399
00:28:42,831 --> 00:28:44,391
the minister's wife's forehead.

400
00:28:44,961 --> 00:28:49,761
Um, the minister slapped the boy
and the boy went, Oh, just kidding.

401
00:28:49,851 --> 00:28:51,041
Uh, the sun was in my eyes.

402
00:28:52,616 --> 00:28:54,036
That wasn't true.

403
00:28:54,086 --> 00:28:56,016
Um, your wife is fine and we're all good.

404
00:28:57,186 --> 00:28:59,546
And that just goes to prove
to you that this was all just

405
00:28:59,636 --> 00:29:02,596
a bunch of politics, but.

406
00:29:03,746 --> 00:29:07,896
What ended up happening was there
were 71 people accused of being

407
00:29:07,896 --> 00:29:12,496
witches in this one moment in time.

408
00:29:13,506 --> 00:29:19,026
65 of them were female and they
were all beheaded on a single

409
00:29:19,036 --> 00:29:21,816
day in a mass grave on the hill.

410
00:29:25,801 --> 00:29:31,041
65 women and 71 people
all beheaded at once.

411
00:29:31,041 --> 00:29:38,661
In 1677 in Sweden, the king ordered
ministers to declare once and

412
00:29:38,661 --> 00:29:40,671
for all that witches are gone.

413
00:29:41,531 --> 00:29:41,901
Okay.

414
00:29:41,901 --> 00:29:42,491
We did it.

415
00:29:42,721 --> 00:29:43,571
We found them all.

416
00:29:43,731 --> 00:29:45,131
They're all dead.

417
00:29:45,151 --> 00:29:46,371
We can stop now.

418
00:29:47,506 --> 00:29:49,746
And that was the end of that in Sweden.

419
00:29:50,666 --> 00:29:53,536
But it sure wasn't the end
of it everywhere else because

420
00:29:53,546 --> 00:29:55,426
then we go into the new world.

421
00:29:55,606 --> 00:29:59,056
The fascinating story is that I have
uncovered this week in my research.

422
00:29:59,536 --> 00:30:02,916
There was Mary Moore in
New Jersey, in Edison Park.

423
00:30:03,396 --> 00:30:06,506
She was killed for being a witch,
but then she had to be buried

424
00:30:06,836 --> 00:30:08,746
in several different places.

425
00:30:10,426 --> 00:30:13,136
Because they were too afraid she
might come back to life or something.

426
00:30:13,876 --> 00:30:17,326
One of my favorite stories in the
1600s is in Hadley, Massachusetts.

427
00:30:17,456 --> 00:30:19,346
You have Mary Webster.

428
00:30:19,946 --> 00:30:23,006
The story of Mary Webster is
fascinating, and I will post links

429
00:30:23,036 --> 00:30:25,176
to the full stories on my blog.

430
00:30:25,206 --> 00:30:31,286
But the summary of it is that a
man named Philip Smith was sick

431
00:30:31,676 --> 00:30:34,136
and the townspeople blamed Mary.

432
00:30:34,556 --> 00:30:39,116
Mary was, Old, um, difficult.

433
00:30:39,246 --> 00:30:41,086
She was an oddball.

434
00:30:41,436 --> 00:30:44,516
Um, you know, any number of reasons
why she might have been the one

435
00:30:44,516 --> 00:30:48,316
picked, but for whatever reason, they
thought, okay, if Philip can't get

436
00:30:48,316 --> 00:30:53,326
better, and every time we knock on
Mary's door, Philip feels better, we

437
00:30:53,326 --> 00:30:55,616
can deduce that Mary is cursing him.

438
00:30:55,656 --> 00:30:57,336
And that is where we need to go.

439
00:30:57,871 --> 00:30:58,881
To get justice.

440
00:30:59,871 --> 00:31:05,341
So Mary was, um, you know, the townspeople
decided to take this into their own

441
00:31:05,341 --> 00:31:08,311
hands and they decided they were just
going to go ahead and go hang Mary.

442
00:31:08,661 --> 00:31:10,871
Just, you know, no trial, nothing.

443
00:31:10,871 --> 00:31:14,601
Just let's get rid of Mary because Philip
is sick and we need to save Philip's life.

444
00:31:15,311 --> 00:31:16,811
So let's go hang Mary.

445
00:31:17,441 --> 00:31:17,971
And they did.

446
00:31:18,081 --> 00:31:19,101
They hung her from a tree.

447
00:31:19,981 --> 00:31:27,221
And when they got back, um, to
Philip's house, uh, Philip died.

448
00:31:27,221 --> 00:31:33,106
For Um, it's very sad, sad for
Phillip, but here's the good news.

449
00:31:34,106 --> 00:31:38,606
Um, Mary, although she was
hung from a tree, she survived.

450
00:31:39,416 --> 00:31:44,576
She survived the hanging and she actually
ended up living another 11 to 14 years.

451
00:31:45,006 --> 00:31:49,866
Records are a little bit, um,
a little bit fuzzy on that.

452
00:31:49,986 --> 00:31:55,416
Some say 11 years and some say, um,
that she lived another 14 years.

453
00:31:55,606 --> 00:31:58,396
And, um, here's, what's
so funny about Mary.

454
00:31:58,446 --> 00:32:00,441
She was She was like

455
00:32:02,511 --> 00:32:04,971
70, 70 years old when she finally died.

456
00:32:05,381 --> 00:32:08,151
So she lived quite a few years
after this whole incident.

457
00:32:08,671 --> 00:32:17,451
And one of her descendants, the poet Mary
Atwood actually made a poem about her

458
00:32:17,781 --> 00:32:21,101
and it's called the Half Hanged Mary.

459
00:32:21,381 --> 00:32:25,061
And if you read the entire poem, I'm
going to also post a link to that.

460
00:32:25,251 --> 00:32:26,301
It's incredible.

461
00:32:26,696 --> 00:32:30,806
It's an incredible account from
Mary's perspective of what it was

462
00:32:30,806 --> 00:32:35,536
like the night that she was accused of
witchcraft, hung, and then survived.

463
00:32:36,056 --> 00:32:39,776
But I'm going to read you my
favorite stanza, the part at the

464
00:32:39,806 --> 00:32:45,236
end when they actually come and
cut the rope and Mary had survived.

465
00:32:46,396 --> 00:32:47,326
I'm going to read this to you.

466
00:32:47,326 --> 00:32:48,506
It says, 8 a.

467
00:32:48,506 --> 00:32:48,886
m.

468
00:32:53,346 --> 00:32:58,356
When they came to harvest my
corpse, Open your mouth, close your

469
00:32:58,356 --> 00:33:01,356
eyes, Cut my body from the rope.

470
00:33:01,796 --> 00:33:05,126
Surprise, surprise, I am still alive.

471
00:33:06,366 --> 00:33:07,366
Tough luck, folks.

472
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:08,906
I know the law.

473
00:33:09,896 --> 00:33:14,026
You can't execute me
twice for the same thing.

474
00:33:14,116 --> 00:33:14,876
How nice.

475
00:33:16,726 --> 00:33:22,436
I fell to the clover, breathed it in, and
bared my teeth at them in a filthy grin.

476
00:33:23,356 --> 00:33:25,146
You can imagine how that went over.

477
00:33:26,306 --> 00:33:30,546
Now I only need to look out at
them through my sky blue eyes.

478
00:33:31,466 --> 00:33:36,496
They see their own ill will staring
them in the forehead and turn tail.

479
00:33:37,566 --> 00:33:42,876
Before I was not a
witch, but now I am one.

480
00:33:47,556 --> 00:33:49,556
Well done, Margaret Atwood.

481
00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:51,946
That is an incredible stanza.

482
00:33:52,176 --> 00:33:53,456
My favorite, favorite.

483
00:33:54,035 --> 00:34:01,925
This is where we're going to end this part
one, two part episode about witch trials.

484
00:34:02,455 --> 00:34:06,425
I have only just begun and there's
so much more juicy tales to tell.

485
00:34:07,025 --> 00:34:12,890
But for now, We're going to end it there,
and next week talk a little bit more about

486
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:19,710
the Salem Witch Trials, and about what
is it like to be accused of witchcraft

487
00:34:19,790 --> 00:34:22,870
in these witch trials, generally.

488
00:34:24,020 --> 00:34:27,090
We're also going to talk a little
bit about cultures that did not

489
00:34:27,855 --> 00:34:32,995
necessarily have which trials the
way that they happened in a lot

490
00:34:32,995 --> 00:34:35,885
of other countries in Europe and
in New England and the Americas.

491
00:34:36,825 --> 00:34:39,635
We're going to talk a
little bit more about why.

492
00:34:40,235 --> 00:34:48,095
What is overall theme of why
females specifically are targeted

493
00:34:48,305 --> 00:34:50,045
when something like this comes up.

494
00:34:51,085 --> 00:34:52,645
Why witchcraft?

495
00:34:53,715 --> 00:34:54,455
Why women?

496
00:34:55,675 --> 00:35:00,405
And we're going to get to the heart
of what I believe is the reason.

497
00:35:01,575 --> 00:35:06,695
So, witches and wizards, and all of you
magical creatures out there listening.

498
00:35:07,225 --> 00:35:11,805
Stay tuned for next week where we continue
this discussion and get more in depth.

499
00:35:12,905 --> 00:35:14,215
I cannot wait.

500
00:35:14,395 --> 00:35:16,565
It's going to be so much fun.

501
00:35:18,025 --> 00:35:22,055
I want you to use magic in your
everyday lives to help yourself, to

502
00:35:22,055 --> 00:35:26,675
strengthen your relationships, to
heal, to grow, to prosper, to thrive.

503
00:35:27,650 --> 00:35:35,370
And I would like to invite you to
find me on my website, prism healing.

504
00:35:35,590 --> 00:35:36,100
com.

505
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,750
There you can find a list of
services that I offer and provide.

506
00:35:39,860 --> 00:35:44,010
If you're looking for a little witchcraft
in your life, a little healing work, a

507
00:35:44,010 --> 00:35:46,470
little cursing someone, just kidding.

508
00:35:46,710 --> 00:35:50,300
I definitely charge extra if
you want me to curse someone.

509
00:35:52,920 --> 00:36:00,600
I can also be found on Instagram
at Prism Healing Facebook.

510
00:36:01,260 --> 00:36:03,420

511
00:36:03,420 --> 00:36:05,340
Courtney Pearl's Prism Healing.

512
00:36:05,860 --> 00:36:13,180
That's Prism as in P-R-I-S-M, not pri
as in going to the next step after jail.

513
00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:14,950
That's not for me.

514
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:15,970
Um.

515
00:36:17,005 --> 00:36:21,495
Take a look at my upcoming events
coming up, Healing Through Art

516
00:36:21,885 --> 00:36:26,325
and the HeartSmart Art Workshop
for kids and parents to help raise

517
00:36:26,545 --> 00:36:29,545
emotionally intelligent human beings.

518
00:36:31,595 --> 00:36:39,205
And I would like to invite you to also
find me on TikTok at Prism Healing.

519
00:36:39,655 --> 00:36:44,755
Sometimes my TikTok is a little bit
more of the raw and silly me, but you

520
00:36:44,755 --> 00:36:47,945
get a little bit more of my personality
when the real witch comes out.

521
00:36:49,145 --> 00:36:56,570
So take a look, find me on any social
media and Please PM me or DM me or

522
00:36:56,780 --> 00:37:01,250
slip into my DMs or whatever it is that
people do and ask me questions if you

523
00:37:01,260 --> 00:37:06,220
have any questions on magic or healing
or any of the topics and subjects

524
00:37:06,260 --> 00:37:08,140
that we discuss on this podcast here.

525
00:37:08,140 --> 00:37:11,970
I would love to help you answer your
questions or offer you some guidance

526
00:37:12,270 --> 00:37:13,860
and pointing you in the right direction.

527
00:37:14,460 --> 00:37:19,510
So until next time, where we finish
this discussion, I'll see you next week.

528
00:37:19,540 --> 00:37:21,340
Witches and wizards go make magic.
