Who can tell me the names of some ancient witches?

/kloc-in the winter of 0/692, there was a west Indian slave named Tituba in Sharon parish in Massachusetts Bay, England. He often makes gadgets and spells in the kitchen, tells stories about occult art, and makes fun of the pastor's 9-year-old daughter Elizabeth Paris and her 1 1 year-old cousin Abigail. Tituba also tells fortune by observing the shape of protein in the cup. The young girl next door is also fascinated by this.

As winter passed, the girls began to behave strangely: Elizabeth sobbed gently from time to time, Abigail crawled around like a dog and barked, and other girls got strange diseases from time to time. One day, Ann Putnam, who is 12 years old, said that she was trying to break away from the control of a witch who wanted to cut off her head with a knife. The village doctor examined the girls and found that there was nothing wrong, saying that they were "caught by the talons".

Pastor Paris asked the victim girl to name the witch who tortured them, but she couldn't get an answer. However, when he heard that Tituba's husband cooked a kind of "witch cake" with rye flour and children's urine, he flew into a rage, which scared Elizabeth to blurt out Tituba's name, and other girls soon added the names of other wizards: Sarah Goode, a beggar who liked smoking a pipe and was despised by the villagers.

In a trial in early March, Titaba admitted that she was a witch, and she attacked Ann Putnam with a ghost. In addition, she even claimed to be one of many witches in the village, and said that a "tall man from Boston" showed her a list with the names of all witches in the area.

Sharon's political persecution began. Ann Putnam and her mother accused Rebecca years, 7 1 year old, of killing the baby. Susan Martin was accused of putting magic on her neighbor's cow after arguing with her neighbor. George Burroughs, a former priest in the village, was accused of being the leader of many wizards; Captain John Alden was accused of being "a tall man from Boston", as Tituba said.

Within seven months, seven men and 13 women were executed, and many of them were convicted only on the basis of ghosts or ghosts' "testimony". Pastor Burroughs was hanged in August 19; Giles Corey, 80, refused to testify and was slowly crushed to death by a stone; Tituba escaped death and was betrayed by Reese.

192 1 Margaret Murray, a British anthropologist, put forward her amazing views on witchcraft: "For hundreds of years ... wizards have been respected and loved. Whenever people want to get rid of persistent illness, seek advice when something happens and predict good or bad luck in the future, they will go to a wizard, whether it is a wizard or a witch. " Murray pointed out that witchcraft was not an empty concept in the Middle Ages, but a far-reaching pagan belief, which originated from Neanderthals in the Paleolithic Age.

Raymond buckland is a disciple of Gardner and a high priest, and buckland holds eight ghost worship ceremonies in the middle of the night every year. 1969, the congregation gathered in the apartment in New York State to celebrate Halloween. Thirteen wizards took off their clothes (they thought clothes hindered the magic) and washed themselves with salt water. Then they all gathered naked in a circle with a diameter of 9 feet, singing and dancing, and listening to the high priest recite the Shadow Sutra.

Many people think that this ritual is nothing more than seduction and indulgence of sexual desire, but in the view of Rick, one of the famous wizards, it symbolizes "religious belief of returning to nature" and aims to "let human beings know their place in the universe". She said that her ancestors had done this in the 12 century, and she even taught this ritual to her children.

At the end of 16, French witch hunter Henry Buji recorded this: "Fran? ois Hickhotan confessed that she could soar in the air and fly to the wizard's midnight ghost worship ceremony to worship the devil as long as she stepped on a white stick and read some spells." When Isobel Gaudi, a Scottish witch, repented, she even gave a spell to make brooms, beanstalks and straws fly into the sky. In Safwa, France, a witch confessed and told interrogators that she just ordered the broom to fly? Choose me to order you to fly in the name of the devil? Just choose. "

In the 65438+4th century, a witch named Giorgil in Toulouse, France, admitted to concocting many kinds of witchcraft with poisonous herbs, human and animal remains, and rags taken from hanged people. Although her testimony did not specify the real purpose of witchcraft, it seemed impossible to do anything good.

16 16, a man named BenQ in Beressi was accused of being a wizard. In his confession ceremony, "people who worship the devil are offering sacrifices and holding black asphalt candles from the devil." He drew a magic circle on the ground with the blade of a magic knife, which was also part of the midnight ghost worship ceremony. This circle is used to gather witchcraft and magic.

Witches in the Middle Ages thought they could fly. Witches use household bottles or rough pottery pots to package spell products.
