Sounds like a call to crusade. It is interesting that the theological thicket she unfolds here gives absolutely no indication of what is actually happening and what prompts the despotism to take such a drastic step.

Very well said! But you trust her right? I mean, she wouldn't lead you astray right?

Witch is just a convenient word for anyone you want to brand as outside the law or outlaw. Anything they do is witchcraft no matter how innocuous. It's a label that can be applied to anything from astrologer to folk medicine to heretic.

Pretty much!

Actually the historical witch hunts were mostly a bottom up phenomenon, but on the other hand if you build your society/power structure around a certain set of religious beliefs the ones who live outside of them will always look like evil incarnate, and in fact attacking them is a way to reinforce the sense of belonging. (this is more like a religious war than a witch hunt).

You're very right. It's absolutely a religious war!

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live (or perhaps a poisoner, because it might have been a mistranslation)... As soon as anyone gets too powerful in any context it'll always boil down to "I want you to find XY and I want them dead...", and another good thing has been stained again.

"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" are the exact words from the King James Bible. James I studied all the contemporary works on witchcraft and even wrote his own text defining and condemning it as it was understood in his time. He chose the words in the KJV even though the actual text may mean poisoner(of minds) and actually Biblical scholars believe it's about astrology and Babylonian divination.

Precisely. Bravo!
