It's where you get communities trying one another.
Then you get the witchcraft.
As soon as that is decentralized and taken to a bigger court, like in Scotland, the witch hunt suddenly...
came to nothing because they started to say you have to send the witches to London to be investigated in Iceland suddenly they had to start sending them over from Denmark or get somebody over and now it's not communities trying one another there's an oversight and that has an impact as well it suddenly falls away so actually within that you could kind of conclude that witchcraft in the 17th century generally speaking is very useful for communities very harmful yeah
There's always someone on the make.
There is always someone who wants to make their name, whether it was Matthew Hopkins, the witch finder.
Yes.
Whether it was King James, the sixth and first right in his demonology, whether it was Paul Beardson waving his book around.
There's always someone somewhere who's going to make a name for themselves in this community by ridding it of witches.
And what an easy way to do it as well to point the finger, go, that's the devil.
I found them and got rid of them.
I mean, well, women did play a part in this because we know that they were employed as witch prickers in the Essex witch trials.
They were the ones that would like torture them basically and try and find these marks.
No, no.
They're much stranger.
Like Helga.
What are you doing?
Yeah, yeah.
What are you doing?
Salem, yes.
