List your Top 5 favourite books about witches
Aside from the greatest book written about Witchcraft and Wizardry there ever was? I really like The Witches in the movie The Originals. Dahlia, Esther, Davina, Kohl Mikaelson, Freya Mikaelson, Sophie Devereaux, Vincent, The Hollow and Hope Mikaelson.
Since this is a book style prompt, The Salem Witch Trials really happened and don’t you wish you were a fly on the wall? I am curious to know what happened and why did they kill those girls? It’s barbaric but it’s not surprising. The Salem Witch Trial took place in the 1600’s. If they thought they would rid their town of evil they were truly foolish. — source

I always find the Salem witch trials fascinating. I like to believe that witches were real and that piece of history always seems to keep the fantasy alive. Otherwise they were just horrible people.

uh ya. Witches are real. Have you not heard of The Witch of Endor? She’s in the bible. Witches are a real thing girl!

I’m not really a huge bible person, but I like to believe that witches could be real and we lock them up and tell them they’re just schizophrenic.

In the Hebrew Bible, the Witch of Endor is a woman who summons the prophet Samuel’s spirit, at the demand of King Saul of the Kingdom of Israel in the First Book of Samuel. In the deuters (deuterocanonical) Book of Sirach (46:19–20).

Do they think of her as demonic or as spiritual?

demonic. Witchcraft is an abomination. Saul was wrong to enquire her services

Yes it is. Are you a believer or no? just wondering. It’s okay if you aren’t. Thank you for being honest anyway about not being into the bible.

I’m not sure I believe that Wiccans are the same as the witches that I want to believe are real.
