Description
Witches on Cannock Chase stand over a large black bubbling culdron, stirring up a magic potion for an 'Evil Spell'...with a Barn Owl - Tawny Owl - Black Cat - Raven and Frog looking on.......The oldest of the Witches sits against a very old tree resting her weary bones, her gnarley fingers holding onto an old twisted walking stick, her pointed black hat hangs on a branch above her head.There are flying Bats who have come out of their roost to hunt for food, their tiny wings lit by the moonlight...!!!!
Beliefs in witchcraft have historically existed in most regions of the world. This was notably so in Early Modern Europe where witchcraft came to be seen as part of a vast diabolical conspiracy of individuals in league with the Devil undermining Christianity, eventually leading to large-scale witch-hunts, especially in Protestant Europe. Similar beliefs have persisted in some cultures up to the present, mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa (e.g. the Bantu witch smellers), and have occasionally resulted in modern witch-hunts. The concept of witchcraft as harmful is normally treated as a cultural ideology providing a scapegoat for human misfortune.
Since the mid-20th century Witchcraft has become the designation of a branch of contemporary Paganism, most notably including Wiccan traditions, who claim to practice a revival of pre-Abramic spirituality
