myLot reputation of 100/100. astonysh (4492) 3 years ago

This is meant to be a light-hearted discussion. All unpleasantness and similar will be treated with the usual disrespectcry.

Assume that you have someone in your neighbourhood who is a witch (or is considered to be so). What do you do with her?

1. Medieval solution number 1 - put them on trial. In the Middle Ages in Europe this often meant putting them in the river and seeing if they floated. If they drowned, they were innocent, if they floated they were guilty, amd so on to 2.

2. Medieval solution number 2 - burn her at the stake. As happened with Saint Joan of Arc, who at the age of 17 beat up on the English Army (accusing of her witchcraft sounds like another example of the English being sore loserssad - see every major international soccer competition for the last 40 years). I have been to Donremy incidentally - it seems all about religion and nothing much to do with history or witchcraft.

3. Modern solution number 1 - consult her. She might get a good professional fee.

4. Modern solution number 2 - use her services. Turning your boss into a frog or toad or ...w00t For example.

5. Get her to go into politics - she might even become Prime Minister or President of your country (turning your budget deficit into a massive surplus etc).

6. Any other ideas?

Hello, Tony. What a great discussion. Actually, I think I'd go along and ask to be her apprentice. A lot of the people that were accused of witchcraft were actually just wise women who knew a lot about plants and the ways of the country and used their knowledge for good.

Hopefully, we'd get on really well together - my ex husband used to say I must be a witch because I always found him out when he was lying to me. lol I couldn't convince him that the only reason I knew he was lying was because his lips were moving. w00t

I think she'd be handy to keep in reserve for turning people into frogs or spiders as well, so all things considered a great addition to the neighbourhood. And perhaps she could teach me a spell so that my vodka bottle never ran dry. rasp


myLot reputation of 100/100. astonysh (4492)  3 years ago

Hi Sandra,

thanks for the reply.

I think that it is undoubtedly true that intelligent women in the Middle Ages were a source of fear shocked(which is also a problem in certain parts of the modern world. The woman's place is to stay home, cook, clean and do what she is told - no I personally do not advocate that myself!). So that they were persecuted as witches should not be surprising. Their male counterparts had far better reputations of courselol.

It would meanwhile be very useful to learn all the skills appropriate - there are a good number of people (even on MyLot) who could do to be changed into some slithery (does that word exist?) creaturewhistle. As for your vodka bottle - keep hoping!

Hiya Tony

A nice lighthearted look at the ways of witches, but sad to think these beautiful women were burned at the stake for trying to help others with their healing ways in those days gone by.
I would definately opt for 3, 4 and 5 and for the 6th I would ask her to teach me the craft of the wise. thumbup

Alice happy


myLot reputation of 100/100. astonysh (4492)  3 years ago

Hi Alice,

yes I know that you empathise with these ladies.

As I said to Sandra, women of talent were looked on in the Middle Ages as dangerous - which is very sad. It shows the ignorance of the people at that the time that they were not appreciated.

Hi astonysh!

I've always found it interesting but sad, that women have been persecuted through history--simply for the fact that they are different from men. Many times, instead of embracing the differences and learning from each other--the women are condemned.

But, since this is supposed to a light-hearted discussion, I will simply say--I would call her sister and friend. Ask her to tea and insist she bring her kitty,and her broom. Then once tea is over, we can go for a ride. :-)


myLot reputation of 100/100. astonysh (4492)  3 years ago

Hi Holly,

well women were never supposed to be wise or knowledgeable or intelligentsad.

I don't know what the powers that be in medieval times would make of current Germany where 75% of the top grades in schools are obtained by girlsshocked!

Anyway, when she comes over - enjoy the ride!lol

Hey tony, the witch situation is something I can relate to. I was married to one for some time, and I must say yhe medieval solutions would be ny prefered. LOL!


myLot reputation of 100/100. astonysh (4492)  3 years ago

Hi Mike,

OK - so a vote for burning at the stake. Fine I will send the firewood and the matches!

I also had a similar relationship some years ago, but I think that she fell off her broom!

No warlocks? Anyway, I would ask her to take me to witchland . I think that should be interesting. I alos like mordern solution no 2, there are qite a few people I would like to see as taods. Better still I would ask her give her powers to me for a day.


myLot reputation of 100/100. astonysh (4492)  3 years ago

Thanks for your reply.

Hope she fits you out with a good broom.

Today there are several people I would also like to turn into toads, so I will invite you along to use her powers!

I know a couple of witches here on myLot - and that is NOT being nasty. They claim to be witches. And before anyone jumps on me, I must add that they are/were two of the loveliest people here.

I met them here when I first came to myLot more than three years ago. (I left for a couple of years and came back a few months ago). I have checked but they haven't been active here for a while. I hope they return.

One of these ladies is a wiccan and the other a pagan. I am a Christian whose relationship with my Saviour has top priority in my life, yet I enjoyed many long, respectful discussions with these two ladies and appreciated them for their caring attitudes.

What would I do with a witch? Presuming she is as lovely as the two I know from here, I would happily call them my friends and enjoy their company.


myLot reputation of 100/100. astonysh (4492)  3 years ago

Thanks for the reply.

General impression of so-called witches is not all that bad actually. Their reputations have been tarnished over the years by ignorance more than anything.

It is good if we can accept people for what they are (assuming they mean us no harm of course), as is shown by your contact with these two ladies on MyLot.
