      Actually not true he was probably saving his young charges from night mares or being accused of harm by parents. Our Rector was involved with two universities looking into the paranormal. I learnt this after I was involved in an incident. Only yesterday we were discussing the massacre of women, like the massive persecution of Jews, across Europe under the gise of witch craft. Or the wars between religions . Usually single old or vulnerable woman were victims and usually for property. Through the centuries we've done nothing but massacre one another, so the European union was formed in part, in order to stop this violence and selfharm. "Paraphrase" from a speech by Winston Churchill. 1947.

    Thank you Ronald for these glimpses which appear to bring a more balanced perspective to the characters, events, and outcomes of secular/religious belief and actions in world witch history.... very compelling and expansive. I, whoever 'i' am, wish to add that in the belief system that appears to control my actions there is a space that allows for the acknowledgement that all stories, all his-story, all current affairs and desires for future outcomes and acquisitions are all part of source energy happening now in this moment, beyond time, a magical inexplicable energy which we all are incorporated into and brought into existence by. In short all is perfect. At its core, all is well :-)

    Years ago,I was in northern Norway and came across a book with the English translations from all the hand written notes from the witch trials from the 1600s. I didn’t buy it and always regretted it, but my partner was just there and tracked down a copy for me. It is eye opening and it makes the Salem witch trials look like an unfortunate car accident.
    But it’s so clear we are just hard wired to have our in and out groups and unscrupulous people and groups will insure others suffer just because [insert any reason here]? It breaks my heart because when I think of how far we’ve come, we’re always sliding backwards….

      Probably not much, as those were grown overwhelmingly in southern regions that hadn't been drawn into the hysteria in the first place: more relevant would be the potato, but even in most of Ireland that didn't play a big role until after 1700, and takeup in Germany (the epicentre of the persecution) followed behind.
      So I'd say advances in food availability before then were more about improved agricultural techniques and better market conditions after the disruptions of the C16 and the first half of the C17 - but I think you can see such effects from around the 1650s, so the chronology fits.

    I love Ronald Hutton & this particular lecture was of great interest to me. I have a relationship to witchcraft & Curses.
    My thoughts are that when a land is surrounded by water ; Christianity & Witchcraft from ancient times come together. ie. Haiti & Ireland.
    My Grandmother was a catholic from Eire. But she was a “traveler” & married my Grandfather who wasn’t. I think she was beautiful, hence he married what he called a Tinker when they argued.
    I assure you that even catholic priests believed in Witchcraft & curses in the 1900’s🧙
    Belief is all you need to harm a person who believes🧙 Not many people in the UK do but cultures bring their biases.
    ❤Anyway I loved your lecture. How do I see one of your lectures live?

  • @verhalenvrouwe
    @verhalenvrouwe 5 місяців тому +5

    Very interesting lecture.
    As a side note regarding the voodoo death, I recall a case of someone being cursed through voodoo and was said to die on a certain day. This man believed he would die that day. The only reason he survived was because he was brought to a dark room so he had no perception of time and was let out after that day had passed.
    Another side note: I noticed that witch hunts started ramping up during the time Christianity was divided into Catholics and Protestants, but this lecture did a great job putting into perspective why this happened. I also read before that in early medieval times it often wasn't the person who was accused of witchcraft that was put to death, but the accuser because believing in magic and therefore in witches was heretic.

    So interesting to me that people accused witches of evil when tribes and communities have engaged in magic rituals for all sorts of purposes. Traditions all across Europe and the World had brides carry fertility symbols on their wedding days. Used amulets or idols representing different things that are burned, carried, or placed in the home. People buried food sacrifices in their fields, or sacrificed animals for abundance. They perform religious rites that involve chanting, candles, music, specific robes, carried out on specific days... pot and kettle if I've ever heard of one! The idea that a witch is anything different from the village seer, shaman, or priest is incredible.

      Witch hunting could have been increased and inspired by the discovery of the americans. The stories about human sacrifice practiced by the native americans could have given some italians and germans ideas. Witch hunting then would be as american as potatoes and tabacco, not just in Salem.

    7:08 Shock is a hundred percent a medical condition with clear signs, as in metabolic shock, hemorrhagic shock, septic shock etc... But it's something a clinician can diagnose and describe clearly. I believe the cases you describe had been mislabeled as shock in a more abstract way, without fiting the criteria. So I don't disagree with your argument, but the statement "shock is not a medical condition" is false and makes you sound less credible. Hopefully you can rephrase it more accurately in the future.

    I recall in Ivory Coast that a family related to the land owner who had sold piece of land to my boss had then buried a food beating pestle in the land. All the workers then refused to go work there believing the ones who will work the field will die. We ended in the prosecutor office who took it very seriously explaining the matter was in the intent and the meaning for that everybody will be threatened by this action. I realize the power of self-conviction and tribal rings of obligation/dependence as it happens if something would have been seen working it wouldn't have necessarily be by the owner but that indeed it is probable the worker would have indeed died after that through witchcraft. Witches are often the end culprint but it's because there are people addressing the cause to them.

    interesting about the contemporary movement to abolish witch-hunting ... if the belief/practice is indeed rooted in structural misogyny, as the popular feminist critique has it, then such a movement is surely very ambitious, taken on a global level. one could look at related efforts to level 'gender apartheid' accusations at states such as in the newly returned taliban in afghanistan, who have similarly ideologically entrenched beliefs and practices. all very agreeable - but thus far the 'opining' of international bodies on their internal affairs (as opposed to international intervention, which we hardly need say hasn't worked after 20+ years of trying and trillions of dollars in this case) has achieved very little. to stay with the taliban's gender apartheid, indeed they seem very recalcitrant to change on this point, despite any attempts at diplomatic entreaty, reason, or coercion. these deep-rooted forms of misogyny serve deep and structural purposes in their respective societal contexts, whether the magical/occult in a destabilised christian europe or in islamic theology as applied to pashtun-tribal patterns in afghanistan. i think it will take more than historicising witchcraft to persuade current-day witch-hunters to give up their craft!

    As an ex Roman Catholic who grew up watching a man dressed in special robes hold up a large host, mutter some 'magic' words in Latin to turn the host into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ, I became appalled by the hypocrisy of Christians in decrying magic as practiced by people of other cultures.
    This is not to deny the aid and comfort that religions, including Roman Catholicism can bring to believers. As, despite now being an atheist religions codify for most of us our ethical outlook on life as well as the knowledge that ritual and community are extremely important to most of humanity and should not be sneered at.

    The third definition is not really a definition of witch. It is a way the word is used

    I say that no country should be allowed to persecute people for witchcraft -- and they have no right to stop me because colonialism is traditional to my culture.

    I think witch hunting by Europeans or whites are still very much alive today; albeit in a extremely subtle form under many different names as cover.

    That feminist definition of a Witch is as banal as it gets. Without turgid cliche feminists would have nothing to say.

      This just proves you've never read good feminist books with an open mind. There's so many brilliant women out there, which shouldn't be surprising considering about half the population are women.
