It's like Ofsted turning up when you're teaching.
It's just, just pretend I'm not here.
And fundamentally, like he's like, I'm out here checking for witches.
And in the medieval period, there is a concept like there, like maybe a witch could exist.
But for the most part, if we're looking at medieval period and the attitude to witches, if you look at things like, you know, your friend and mine, Bouchard of Worms, he writes in his book,
his particular uh guidebook for people who are doing confessions he says do you believe that you are a witch and it's like and what he says is like because you're not and you have to do penance
you're a witch because witches aren't real girl you cannot possibly be going out at night like going to the sabbat like in a particular way they're like that's not real and it's actually heresy for you to think it's real you can't possibly be doing it
Fast forward 700 years and Heinrich Kramer is like, no, that's real.
That's real.
They'd be doing
everybody.
Completely.
And it's like for them, they don't think that like being a witch in that Roman way is real.
And it's one of the things that they do to differentiate themselves from pagans before.
They're like, you can't possibly, God wouldn't allow that to happen.
Yeah, like, how are you going to get the power in order to do this, which is a big thing the Malleus covers.
It's like, there's no way that you're going to get the power in order to do this.
So that's kind of weird of you to think that, like, God wouldn't allow this to happen.
So one of the big things about the medieval period is they're like, absolutely not.
Now, magic might exist.
