Myths
- Myth #1: “Witches are only a Salem story.” The truth prowls across continents—Nordic sagas, Mediterranean trials, West African healers, & modern revivals.
- Myth #2: “It’s all broomsticks & black cats.” Real lore is legal codes, midwives, folk medicine, & power struggles—messy, human, riveting.
- Myth #3: “Pop-culture got it all wrong.” Sometimes it did—& sometimes movies preserved echoes of authentic rites, words, & warnings.
- Myth #4: “Witch hunts were medieval.” Many peaks were early-modern & even modern—with newspapers, pamphlets, & politics fanning the flames.
- Myth #5: “There’s one witch archetype.” Witches can be sages, scapegoats, rebels, scientists in disguise, or simply neighbors with inconvenient knowledge.
