Ironically enough, people suffered more at the hands of these religious prosecutors than they ever did from the alleged witches. What a fearful time to live in!

Poor Margarethe. Many women got accused of witchcraft because they tried to help heal people with herbs etc. Your documentary is very professionally done. I really enjoyed it.

My ancestor was in one of the last group of "witches" to be killed in Scotland, in Inverness-shire. From what I know of her through research, she was a healer. Thank you for the mini doco 🙏

Its sad in so many ways how people in undereducated and impoverished societies still can actually believe that by singling out an individual and torturing and or killing someone will " solve" some community or personal issue. Sad and scary.

Elderly widows were often targeted as witches to acquire their land and valuables.

They executed a third of their own town, that is INSANE.

I enjoyed the personalized story of her grandmother. They incorporated it into a larger story and took it through history to modern day. Well done!

So relevant in the social media age, as hate and mob "justice" reach terrifying new levels.

After 51 years 23 and me helped me find my biological Mother in October of 2022. She is a Wiccan priestess and does readings in new orleans. Learning about witchcraft helps me learn more about my Mother. Thank you for posting ❤

My great great grandmother Guadalupe Berlanga Gomez was an indigenous woman of Mexico, descended of the Azteca and spoke Nahuatl, she was a Bruja and a healer and was infamous for removing spells until she passed..her gift runs deep in my blood…it’s an indescribable feeling..

Mass formation psychosis. Still happening today. And still motivated by money. Follow the money, right? Who profits? What fears are being exploited?<br><br>This was well worth watching.
