We'll talk about what makes a witch and about witch trials in Germany in the 1600s that led to thousands of burnings, specifically the Würtzburg Witch Trials. On the way there, we will talk about Salem, The Malleus Maleficarum (aka Hammer of Witches), and we will talk about how, between 2019 and 2019, more than 20,000 people were killed on suspicion of witchcraft. \n\nAgain, you do you, just don't hurt people. As the judge in a 2010 murder case said - \"The belief in witchcraft, however genuine, cannot excuse an assault to another person, let alone the killing of another human being.\" \n\nAgree to agree.
