Hey guys, thank you so much for watching I hope you liked this one. It is a little different but was fun to work on, the next one will all be about witches in art and literature, and then after that witched in film and tv, see you then!
You should do a video essay about the werewolf trials.
@@tommyhicks4510 That was almost this one funny enough, I really want to do a similar video on werewolf media though so that will for sure happen at some point down the road.
@@InPraiseofShadows I'll be looking forward to it. Great job on this one man 👍
Lol this guy mentioned beserk 😆
Id say this about witches. You know like in the movie the witch. Im a Christian btw. But anyway. Its simple. You get your witch. Tie em up or apprhend them somehow. Them you get that bible and read them scripture and also memorize scripture to show em God's power Against their witch (demonic/satanic) witch power. The witch will either react or mock u. But thats how u find out if they are a witch. While I dont agree with torturing ppl to get info everyone should get a fair trial except for terroist but thats a different story. But anyway but it if a witch has to be burnt then it must be done.

Villagers: Woah! Woah! watch the magic!
Trying to make a clever comment but it’s hard
In the city of Whiterun, i suppose

Matriarchy is here. Buckle up little f
Captain Grey eye lol
I’m not being funny, just tongue and cheek but yo...An incel changed the course of history with one document
He did not do it alone, did he?
I was just about to say the same. Dude probably the first known incel.
The OG Thot Patroller. Which is ironic, as Jean D'Arc was known to Patrol Thots as well.
Lol dude the same thought came to my mind. 😂
*tongue in cheek
Sorry, I just hate to see people mouthing off like that
So let me get this straight. The misconception of Witches was started by an old guy who got rejected by a woman?
We know nothing of his early life, but from what I can piece, I think he grew up with a bitchy mother.
@@Lilas.Duveteux That would explain a bit. Thank you!
@@admirador3239 I have no proof of that, but with such violently misogynistic men, it's almost always mother related.
@@Lilas.Duveteux It's ok :) It's a theory.
@@Lilas.Duveteux I wonder how true that is. I'm reluctant to believe that mummy issues play that much of a part in misogyny, because if it's true then it backs up freud (who was wrong about just about everything, if I remember right) and kind of implies that men with parental trauma are abusive by default. Not to say that Kramer didn't have parental issues and that they didn't play a part into his violent brand of misogyny, but I don't think that we should generalise about all sexist men. I would definitely like to learn more about what makes sexist men like Kramer exist, though.
(sorry to butt in)
The saddest part is that if you were accused. There’s no way you can escape, they’ll find always find an excuse to kill you.
Not fun for indigos and starseeds
Not true. I escaped
what is so baffling to me is that, if witches possessed all these powers as listed in Krämer's book, how would anybody ever be able to even capture them? that is so stupid. also, can we identify Krämer as an ancient incel?
Because the women captured probably weren't actually witches.
@@tiffmonique7154 really? Wow. What a surprise 😮
They didn’t use common sense clearly because it was easier to be sexist and go along with it.
@@k00ki3izkrazy not much has changed for centuries then
It was easier to go against this shit before Kramer ret-conned his own playbook by saying if you're breathing then you're witching... Fear is a potent motivator. Funny how no one questioned his vast knowledge of witchcraft..
Makes you think how the real devils wear the masks of saints. This is so sad.
Very succinct and spot on.
@TheMagnificentPony they never gave that phrase a gender. They're just stating a fact.
@TheMagnificentPony wow youre so smart
@TheMagnificentPony Why was it necessary for you to say that? The phrase was never gendered.
@TheMagnificentPony Your comment implies otherwise. You go out of your way to seek conflict that wasn't there to begin with.
The scary thing is that things like this are taking place today, particularly in western Africa.
Well, they did talk about Tanzania
But over in africa witches kill people just to formula potions
@@luiscruz-carrion123 So the opposite, kinda, in that they're actively trying to practice some 'magic'
@@Faith-bl6tm there is 100% witch trials going on in Africa I've seen videos of people being beaten with branches and set on fire. Vial Evil stuff goin on
Im not trying to defend anything but, there's actually some black magic rituals happening there, and they mutilat3 childr3n to do so. That could explain some of the panic and aggressiveness there... Truly an horror story
The Church: Don't be summoning no spirits.
Also the Church: 'the father, son and the holy spirit'
there is another side to this story ruclips.net/video/7vTmB_CUFVM/видео.html
@@HeadFunny No one wants to hear it. No excuse for burning anyone.
@@cya.6616 of course there is no excuse. There is just a new theory about why people thought they were witches.
@@cya.6616 woah thats actually crazy, dont think anyone asked though
@@cya.6616 who said anything about burning anyone and i dont know maybe witches are wow evil but i would not burn them still so stfu
So they would burn women instead of admitting they're short down there?
Sounds about right
its like that even today so im not surprised but rather disappointed
Chaotic floral arrangement what?
@@qualitycroissant8527 dudes who cant cope with their micro and are unhinged go after women that make them upset. its way more common than you think
Truth hurts bro.. 💁🏻😌🙂
I knew the witch hunts were based in sexism but god damn, didnt know it went that deep
same here, it's crazy how they recognized both male and female witches but the whole narrative shifts to just killing of women :/
It sounds like these men were just butt hurt men because they weren't getting any attention and mad cause they couldn't understand what the witches did 😂🙄
Men abusing women since the beginning of time, What’s new?
@@destree6348 Well, it was an incel who wrote that book after all
David Alves Lol, true. I just wish we didn't have to still pay for it
I once saw a man post that he would celebrate if there was an all women massacre, right after being turned down by a girl when he asked her out... that was the first thing that came to mind when I heard about this old guy and his anti-witch book
My heart goes out to the women who were needlessly murdered due to a man suffering from unrequited love.
Unrequited ego more like!
I love that they said women wouldn’t be in groups or have friends, did homie forget nuns live together?
Yeah this dude is obviously an idiot. The whole thing starts with just a ton of images of women burning. He’s not talking about these women like they are people, but actual demons or something.
Doofus is just repeating cliche nonsense.
And lesbians sex is option too
😂😂😂
EW Moon because that’s what they viewed them as back then, he’s just quoting what people thought then
Yeah but they’re nuns and everyone knows they’re nuns so
That’s different tho. When you’re a nun, you’re placed in a convent which, obviously, has other nuns residing there; plus it was a place for worship and religious practices. There was a purpose they were there for. I believe he’s speaking in general that it was dangerous and looked down upon for common women to be in large groups.
Yet male witches were renamed as “alchemists” and the only reason they were mostly spared was because alchemists wanted to create the philosophers’ stone to make gold out of lead for their masters. Gold is next to godliness and forgives all. -the pope.
There was this one male witch in Salem that wouldn't tell the citizens of Salem shit so they decided to crush him with boulders. Too be fair, everyone was pysched up on Ergot but its still crazy
Giles Corey I think. I played that guy when we read the play in high school. Hammed his lines like crazy!
@@ibuprofentabs Corey was no Witch, he died without confessing so. And none that were put to death were Witches, in truth...
Lead to gold represents the transfiguration of the mind from physical to divine
Fruit Gummi Mass hysteria and people exploiting the mass hysteria (remember the “Satanic Panic” in the 80s & 90s & the ongoing Drug War?) for power and profit requires no hallucinogens. No reputable scholar on earth would agree that this was hysteria was due to moldy grain.
I did not expect this to turn into "the medieval Hitler and why he was an incel" but ok.
I myself am a modern witch, and love learning about its history. So many innocent women were killed just because they were different or easy to blame :( not all witchcraft is associated with satan, its mostly nature. I wish more modern movies would show the real and positive side of witches.
I agreed with you it would be so very nice instead to portrait witches as bad and evil which it's absolutely nonsense.
Magic isn't real. Grow up.
@@brent3086Let people believe what they want.
Witchcraft is as good a spiritual practice as any other. Like buddhism. You don't have to believe in it, but I wonder if you take aspirin for pain or know anyone treated with cancer drugs? Because these things were discovered by herbwives. Not necessarily witches, that was the accusation. I'd say helping heal cancer was pretty magical though maybe not in the sense you meant it.
Thank you my my fellow witches people always make like a sinner because of my love for witchcraft and magic
"Preventing men from getting erections" I did not realize I was a witch this entire time.
But in all seriousness awesome video.
That is a VERY DARK beautiful spell to be casted under a scorpio waning moon😌
@Jacob Locklear Oh shit
MezzaTheHyena AHAHAHA BYE
That's my favorite Hex tbh
You're not a witch, you're something cringey with the same effect.
Don't blame the witches.
I read somewhere that the pointy hat were often worn by women who owned taverns, breweries. To signal their profession. They often kept cats to keep rodents from getting into the grain. Thus the relation between the pointy hat and cats, just another way to get women out of business. Wish I could remember the source, was very interesting. Great video BTW!
Jael S even more so, medicine (as explained in this video) was dominated by women. Then, all the history of the witch trials, the jailing of people distributing herbal remedies, the executions, etc. Suddenly men start taking up medicine. They study “physick” and so they were physicians, but wanted the prestige of the scholars and academics and thus started using the term “doctor”, and they keep women/witches out all the way up until they kick women out of the birthing process-midwives were so crucial and there was disastrous consequences (...and still are) by changing the way birthing had been done for so long. So, women are actually returning to medicine. (Physicians salaries, however, is a far more complex issue to go into, especially depending on where you live, due to general economic and government policy shifts.)
Actually witches today wear pointy hats as a fertility symbol
@@natashadahl7541 its not an overall reason. Many of us have adopted the hat as its an identifier. My "witch hat" isnt pionty, but wearing it is something that isnt usual to see hats being worn today. But when I wear t esoecially around thus time of year, most of my Bretheren see ne "flagging" and identify themselves.
@@natashadahl7541 very cool!
Abby cox has done a great video on the history of the witches had. You might like it. 🧐😄
man...even though it happened so long ago, learning shit like this really makes ya lose hope in humanity
"IF SHE BREATHES... SHE'S A THOOOOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"- Heinrich Kramer, probably.
so basically whenever a disease broke out they blamed the witches.
they always blame the witches.
Lol basically
Funny part is that the catholic church caused the plague , they thought cats were evil and killed 99% of them then BOOOM, rat population skyrocketed and plague started
So...coronavirus happened...witches?
Anything that was out of place to them they blamed it on the “witches”
“Oh you planted different herbs than the other people in the village?”
Burned them at the stake!
Sigmund Freud to Heinrich Kramer: "Tell me about your mother."
Oh he definitely had issues with women even if it wasn't his mother some woman brought out this mysogonistic and sadistic sickness inside of him. When it said little was known about his early life I thought oh yeah and why is that?...
Oof.

My boyfriend and I are watching this and he goes “Ladies and gentlemen, Kramer the worlds first incel” 🤣🤣🤣
You trained him well
As a pagan, I do appreciate this information and knowledge that you have put into this video. It has no biased sides, and is just speaking facts and history. A change I would love to see around the world regarding my faith.
as an extremely biased person I can confirm there is no bias here
What form of paganism do u practice
It's clearly biased in favour of witchcraft

Evil is in this sense more spiritual than good.
"Evil lies in the gaze that sees evil everywhere"
-Hegel
You have no idea how many popes were criminals who used religion because they knew that would give them power. So many of them hired prostitutes or had people killed. Recently in the past 20 years we had a pope that was an accused Nazi.
My blood seriously started to boil at hearing the digusting things that were said about and done to women over your narration. I cannot imagine how brutally restrictive, painful and degrading it was living during this mysoginist panic.
A very well done video and your content is getting increasingly better and better. Your channel has been my go to for horror genre commentary for the last few months.
Interested to see part 2!
Thank you so much, part 2 should be out really soon hopefully. It is already mostly written and I'm going to start recording audio for it in the morning. I always strive to do something better with each video so it makes me really happy to hear that.
But I agree with you, I originally read the Malleus Maleficarum out of curiosity. I wanted to write a story while in college about witches, and became interested in the history involving them and that was when I first encountered the book, and I have known for a long time now that I would one day do some sort of piece on it because it made me so angry to read it. I had never come across a historical document that got to me to that extreme degree on an emotional level before and I really wanted that to come across because all of the violence that came from it was entirely senseless and needless, and it resulted in a lot of problems still to this day. And because of that I knew I wanted to talk about it in some form eventually. Thank you so much for watching, it means a lot to m, and thank you for your kind words.
You should read about the misandry men were subjected to in ancient times....but hey ..lets make believe it's only men.
@@KortovElphame Stfu. Your logic is gaslighting at best, the fact that women didn't even have access to many basic rights until the last 100 years or so says more than enough.
Men also weren't, if you didn't watch the video, publicly hunted, tortured and executed for their gender.
Learn to empathize with people that have different parts than you, holy fuck.
Neither were women, they were burned because people thought they were witches, daft as the notion may have been, no one burned women because they were women it was always for some perceived infraction
@@jimsaintruth4248 It's naive to think it wasnt based on being born a woman, but it must be drawn out more for you, so I will...it wasn't just "being a woman" it was always tied to sex. Women who were unattainable (like Kramer hated women who he couldn't have sex with, so do most men) or who "flaunted their sexuality" which isn't a thing. It was essentially a perceived sexuality or feminine "other"ness which men feared. I would say an old maid would be exempt, but that's not true, cause she could be a healer and seen as odd, therefore she could still be burned. No one was safe if you were a woman, it is like being a Jew during WW2, the demographic might not mean you surely die, but you were specifically persecuted for belonging to that hated group. You could be born blonde and be lucky, or you could be born obviously Jewish. I would say being born totally sexless, unsexual and devoid from male attention and desire (which most women aren't) is the equivelant, women who were born say, with long beautiful hair and very "womanly" would be more likely to be witchy. Believe me, take it from a woman who was grossly hit on by men since age 10 for being "too sexy"...the way men see you can be a curse. A person can't help how they look or how creepily sexual some men see her as, but the persecution does stem from being a woman and all that comes with.
This entire 3-part doc is SO GOOD I'm actually watching it again for a second time. Absolutely amazed at your work Zane !
Thanks!
Where are the other 2 parts?
Nice guy gets rejected one too many times in the Dark Ages and makes it his goal to eliminate as many women as possible and make their lives horrible.
yeah nice guys have it so hard smh

Men gossip just as much as women
Look not upon my own Sins... But harken to these I call your own.
No they don't! Women gossip! I read it in a book Maellus Maleficent...or something like that.
You've either never met a man... or ever met a woman.
i work in a barbershop and this is true most gossip over masochistic and homophobic stuff
@@belialsimp1100 I've had similar experiences. It makes me a bit uncomfortable sometimes because I don't agree with a lot of stuff that's being said
Fun fact: a significant portion of my clan in Scotland were killed during the witch hunts for supposedly having satanic gatherings in the night. Looking back now, it is likely they were trading Druidic tradition in secret since it was so stigmatized by the English. Proud to say I now practice some of those traditions, keeping alive the practices that sentenced them to death
do you have an Instagram page or somewhere you share these practices? I would like to at the very least learn about these traditions to help conserve the Druidic traditions, even though I may not be a descendent of these strong people.
I should add that I am sorry that a portion of your clan was killed, but I am proud of you for keeping their traditions/ practices alive. I hope you continue to do so and wish you the best.
@@megaowl8884 I do have an instagram, but it is mostly pictures of my cat with a few celtic witch things thrown in (I am kind of new to the platform). Right now I am still doing a lot of research, and discovering my own way of practicing based on what artwork and stories have survived from that time. We don't have any real account of what rituals and specific practices would have looked like, but I can use what has survived to create my own practice and feel connected to the past in that way. In the future I hope to post more celtic witchy content. If you want to check out my account anyway, it is saroceto. Other accounts that would be great to look at would be thewitchoftheforest and thecelticwitch13. I follow them, and they post some really informative stuff. Hope this helps!
@@elyanreed2925 thank you!
@@elyanreed2925 where can i start researching?
from now on, whenever an employer asks me about my weaknesses in an interview, I will only refer to them as "delectable detriments"
I’m an autistic girl (and also a pagan witch lol) and I wonder how many of the women labelled as witches were autistic. Women who lived by themselves at the edge of the forest, unable to fit in with social norms and act “socially appropriately” in a time where being a woman and being “weird”, was punishable by death and torture. It’s just something that went through my mind while watching this
I'm also an autistic neopagan priestess. I wonder the same thing.
At the time if you was neurodivergent, had marking (moles etc) disability, old, young, in part single. Or freethinking highly likely they be classified as a “witch” by others who had malicious intentions.
Imagine the "witch hunters'" faces when they die and wake up in Hell 🤣
Ellie Ledgerwood Imagining Kramer suffering in hell is satisfying af 👌🏻
Ak Am PREACH 🙌🏻
Ellie Ledgerwood We can only hope!🙏😵🔥🥵🤞
nah - there is no devil or hell..., "divine" justice would be in away of dieing from something that a local herbalist could have cured, if she was not burned few years eralier
Bring a mirror and you won't have to.
I remember the book burning of Harry Potter, I laughed and was sad at same time. I went to church regularly at that time, pastor went on an anti Harry Potter rant. I couldn’t ever take him seriously after that sermon.
I wonder how many women got killed for curing headaches by chewing on willow tree bark.
Terrifying thought. Men wanted their property and feared their knowledge. So, of course, they had to be eliminated.
@@frogpalpeeper4249Men didn't fear their knowledge, Men wanted a monopoly on knowledge, wanted everyone to come to them for that knowledge and so the churches were started.
My DUDE. You have singlehandedly made excellent documentaries FREE for anyone interested. You freakin' bamf.
You missed the series "Charmed" from the late 1990s to early 2000s. This series brought witch craft to the attention of a new generation in the way of explaining the craft of the world of many different demons and white-lighters or protector for witches. Plus it explained the spell book "The Book of Shadows". Much of the series was made for entertainment but it also has a lot of information about witchcraft in general.
that cramer guy was one of the OG incel posters jfc
He should’ve just been a newspaper boomer comic writer
Ha ha! I came here to say this same thing but you beat me to it.
@Matthew J. Raymore My guess is he suffered from erectile dysfunction. But but instead if coming to terms with his own.. shortcomings.

@@johnmarston6643 What's disgusting? Are you just a snowflake?
Dude I really like how you incorporate facts about how unequal things were back then, honestly I think it helped a ton in my journey from being a raging anti-sjw/anti-feminist to being a lot more open about stuff like that, simply due to the fact it was intertwined with both the horror genre and history, which I am very passionate about. Basically, thanks for turning me into less of an asshole lol
I personally don’t think this stuff in this video has anything to do with sjw’s but whatever. I personally view this as history and a lesson for us in the future. Also something for us today to be proud of our progress and how far we have come. Things just aren’t the same today for witches and women and we have more rights. I’m grateful that I won’t get burned alive today and that we as women have more freedom in Europe and the west. Now there is still more work to do in the world. But I have confidence we will make it where everyone is equal and no one is higher in regards of race, gender, class, etc. If you want to be more open minded this is a great start.
@@alanal5997 i’m not saying the video had anything to do with that either, it’s just learning about like the sort of roots to sexism in society helped me realize that they really are fighting for something. And yeah, it also makes me proud of our progress and thankful for the people that got us here.
@@elliotsmelliot *they really are fighting for something* jeez dude. I understand that you're more open minded now but the fact that there is such a large amount of people who think like that just baffles the hell out of me. It's *ucking terrifying honestly. Just that lack of empathy and understanding hurts so many people and it isn't changing.
these poor innocent women, my heart aches for them:((
Kramer was an incel before incels were a thing.
Their patrol saint
@Cryptic Cara Consider yourself lucky for not knowing and don't worry about them.
Somebody nobody will fuck or suck but in reality hardly anyone fits that criteria because there's always people out there ready to fuck or suck anything they can. What it's trendy to refer to as an incel right now are guys that are critical towards females for being female, most likely because they've had bad experiences and a lot of females for some reason think further degrading them and making them feel worthless is what's going to break them out of the mindset. I used to see the reverse more often with the "all men are dogs" type females but the internet has swung it around the other way it seems. Then again a lot of girls hate white males now days so maybe not.
Cryptic Cara an involuntary celibate. So they blame women for not being able to lose their virginity or get into a relationship because “all they want are CHADS”
@Ashton Mitchelll Dunno, hating women is a problem honestly.
It's wild that you did this amount of research (presumably on your own) for these videos. I mean, you're presenting over 3 hours of deep research on a topic without hope of gaining a doctorate, a promotion, a raise, a book deal... it's impressive to see what is obviously a passion project of yours, being done for others, at little personal gain to yourself.
I'm really humbled to see this...
Michael well let’s hope he gets enough views to make some type of sponsorship with new videos. If he is trying to go that way. Maybe he’s just bored and this is more entertaining than his normal life. Could maybe not even need the income, though I doubt as he sounds like a student or in that age range. Either way, I agree with you. Very humbled and happy to see people just sharing knowledge for the sake of sharing knowledge.
The more you know! 🌈
@@maybelikealittlebit I'm just so impressed. You hear so many RUclips personalities talk about their income and how, if they don't get more ad revenue, they'll call it quits. Then this guy puts down a 3-Part, near 4 hour, professional level series - on his own - and not only was it great but it was inspiring just to see the effort.
and the town of his narrative was so beautiful and human.
This is BRILLIANT. Thank you for the accurate, empathic and compassionate work.
The history of witches has become my go to to watch in fall.
so terrifying to know that women’s rights were taken back centuries by one misogynist who used big words. thank you for this video, it was incredible! gonna watch it again until i can memorise it properly
Ikr
Male ego is very fragile and jealous of female power
And it is why I hate witchcraft as being used by one misogynist man that thinks that Males are better and Women are lower than men. This video about history of witchcraft is giving me rage and frustrated all because of a pure sexism towards women
@@AmericazSweetheart You seem like an angry sexist. Sexism is sexism no matter the sex of the sexist. My comment has little do with your sex and everything to do with the character of your words. UwU

Idk if you'll see this, Praise, but I stumbled upon your channel the night before last with your Re-Animator video, and have since been completely enamored in your videos. Your presentation style, depth, research, video length, and topics are all sooo interesting and well executed.
You deserve to get HUGE, and I can't wait to watch those subscriber numbers rise.
I'm definitely feeling that your Anatomy of a Franchise videos are going to be your bread and butter, and I cannot wait for more of those, but so far, all of your content is very deserving of many watches.
All the best to you, and thank you so much for this extremely entertaining content.

I'm pretty sure men have been advocates of women since the beginning of time or women would have been killed off in the first days of existence.

No transgender person claims to be a biological female, only a woman. Gender is a social construct, which can vary depending on the person. Would you be offended be a woman dying her hair to a darker color, if you had dark hair because they didn't originally have black hair?
No, that's stupid.
Trans women who transition, ARE treated like all other women in life because that is what they are seen as. On every level, except in chromosomes, trans women are women. And chromosomes aren't always an accurate tool to decide sex because biological females can have typical make chromosomes. When you think of women and men, do you think they should be equal? If you are going to say yes then you acknowledge that all the stereotypes against women used to oppress them are societal constructs and there is no perfect woman or guidelines to what a women must be.
Have you heard of intersex people? They are individuals born as both sexes essentially, many have both sets of genitals or mixed chromosomes, etc. These individuals often get made female with surgery as babies. Would you call these women fake because they were not born with something as simple as a vagina?
Nice to know that you think your vagina defines who you are as a woman, seems like a very misogynistic point of view but yet you surely don't want men to define you as a woman by your body.
Trans women are actually MORE DISCRIMINATED against then average women. They are BRUTALLY raped, often sodomized, hunted down and murdered and assaulted, and then people will claim a panic defense because the person was transgender.
And alongside that, trans women who pass as biological women, or look biological, are discriminated against as much as other women.
You have no idea about the struggles of trans people and yet claim that they are the ones pretending to know the struggles of women. You are the one pretending!
There's no excuse to be a bigot. Trans women are not hurting you and many are young teenagers just trying to feel comfortable and happy with themself.
Edit: also change isn't that easy. These people spend their whole life living as a particularly hated minority, thousands of dollars in money and time because it's not as easy as going "I'd like to have a vagina please" you have to have wait YEARS and have many therapy appointments with specialists and doctors to make sure you are sure about it and actually transgender.
Then, you have to live as someone who's scared to simply exist because anyone around you could be the last person you meet.
Women can't legally be refused jobs based on their sex.
If you are transgender, many states have it to where they can be refused work and service just based on who they are.
Trump tried to propose something that would let doctors REFUSE to treat transgender people and could DENY THEM MEDICAL CARE based on who they are as a person if it was "against their religion"
Have you ever had a president act like you should be denied healthcare based on your gender?
If you were turned into a man tomorrow and had to live as a man everyday the rest of your life, would you be uncomfortable?
Edit 2:
Transgender people have gender dysphoria which is a diagnosable condition that makes people extremely uncomfortable as their birth sex. There are little children who try to cut their penis off because of this and are suffering because they were born with the wrong anatomy. Theories are that, in the womb, there have been studies that studied transgender brains and noticed that trans women had brains that worked similar to a biological woman's brain and vice versa. People think that a mishap In the womb is responsible for this. Gender dysphoria is literally the intense feeling that your body is wrong. A transgender woman will feel like a penis does not belong.
No one would cut off their limbs if they weren't suffering.
@@blupyxi5669 transwomen are women and more witches than you with that stupid comment. using this theme to feed your prejudices is not understanding at all the meaning of pain. I hope you have it in you to try to go understand how ignorant and stupid you are at this point of your evolution.
Men are still threatened when women have friends, I didn't know it started here! When a woman begins dating a man, she is expected to let go of her friends, or in general, women are expected not to be too close to each other

Oh, also Santa and the Tooth Fairy aren't real
A small thing. Witch in Polish is wiedźma which divides from wiedza- knowledge in English so the whole word roughly means women with knowledge. It's something like English wizard dividing roughly from wisdom and from wise man.
It's also a source of one D&D meme: Wizards use inteligence stat instead of wisdom.
Thank you for specifying at the beginning that you’re not talking about real witches but the depiction of them in media,
Very important distinction and a huge relief
I always assumed the Malleus Maleficarum was a product of its time, not the other way around. That's somehow even more horrifying.
When people say it's "its just how all people viewed women at the time," send them this video. This guy wanted to see women tortured!
I'm saddened to think of all the wisdom we lost with the deaths of these women.
This was AMAZING. You have done such an awesome job. Thank you so much!
As an Austrian from Innsbruck and a Wiccan witch, I am sooooo glad that someone talks about our part in the witch trials, because here, everyone is just deadly silent about it and I don't think that most of my friends/family even know that we had witch trials and that it actually was a big deal here. Thanks for making this video, it is really very good and informative
so op of the witch hunter book was an incel what a surprise
No, the Catholic Church at that point had taken up the belief, Eve and thus all women, to be lessor and the responsible for the Fall...these were misogynists, and their views still color morals and values today. Making Incels the outgrowth of not the ascibed value leading to this....
Well, he was a monk, so... voluntarily Celibate. Opt-in... And I'm still waiting for the part where he's wrong on women... I'm hearing "They have slippery tongues, and are unable to conceal from the fellow-women." and having flashbacks to Married With Children. So apparently Kramer wrote Fox sitcoms in the 90s.

Imagine acting like old ideas can't still hold true and disregarding everything someone has to say because nobody will fuck them.
I love your videos. I can´t imagine how much research you had to do and how much work was put into this video, incredible
Thank you, this one and part two are probably the hardest videos for me because they are a little out of my normal style of topics that I cover, but I love working on deep subjects like this because it lets me learn a lot on them. I actually get sad when there are things that I find super interesting that don't fit into the narrative of the video really cleanly and I have to cut them haha sometimes I just still leave them in though anyways such as the story about where broomsticks come from in this one. I'm glad you liked the video though, that makes me happy to know. Thank you for your kind words!
I have literally watched this video 3 Times now, and still there is a lot of information i have not picked up on yet haha. really thorough. And as a viewer you can sense your commitment and personal interest in those subjects.
One question I have, you talk about movies a lot and I assume you watched "The VVitch". What´s yout opinion on that ?
@@johnd.6299 Wow that's awesome, thank you for that. As for The Witch, I'm honestly a little afraid to admit that I am pretty mixed on it. The next video in this witch series is covering pretty much every witch movie ever made similar to the clown one I did, and it's going to end with me covering The Witch. But I will go ahead and say that I love about eighty percent of that movie. I love the atmosphere, the dread that builds the whole time, the acting and the commitment to staying as period accurate as possible. But I really personally hate the end of that movie because of the things that I said in this first video. Because way back then, Heinrich Kramer suggested that women were witches because they would be vulnerable to the temptations of Satan, and this movie kind of agrees with that I think because in the end Satan succeeded in creating a new witch by targeting a young woman on the cusp of adulthood. He doesn't target anyone else to become a new witch but her, and in that I think the film fails to comment on Kramer's ideas. I would have personally liked it a lot more had Thomason rejected his offer or tried to reject it, but for me at least movies like Rosemary's Baby and The Witches of Eastwick have female protagonists that have a lot more agency in dealing with the devil than Thomason is ever allowed. Sorry that was long lol I will hopefully say that more elegantly in that video, but more or less I love a lot of that movie but hate a lot of the general message it holds. But it does get so much right in its portrayal of the witch, and deserves massive props for that because it is pretty much the only film to commit to depicting a medieval style idea of a witch that well.
@@InPraiseofShadows Okay, I can see that. I think that kind of criticism comes with you being an absoulut expert on the topic. Thank for the Thorough reply.

Harry Potter started my journey to deconvert from Fundamentalist Christianity. They said that Harry Potter was teaching real witchcraft. So I started researching paganism and witches and Wicca. I asked the people in my church if they have read Harry Potter and none of the did. I read the whole thing and wondered why that was condemned but the Lion the WITCH and the wardrobe is OK for Christians as it was written by C.S. Lewis.
Congrats on getting rid of misconceptions :) Wish you all the best on your new journey!
My oldest sister wouldn't let her children read or watch Harry Potter for years because it depicted magic. She and most of the rest of my family are extremely devout Southern Baptists.
>the witch in C.S Lewis’ book is the antagonist
>Harry Potter has witches and wizards as protagonists
That’s probably why. Also C.S Lewis’ books took a lot from Christianity, so I’d imagine they’d be more comfortable around it.
@@blessedjosephat1181 Both stories have witches. Why would C.S. Lewis write about a witch? There were bad witches in Harry potter. So, the Magi who went to see Baby Jesus... good wizards or bad wizards
Definition of magus
1a: a member of a hereditary priestly class among the ancient Medes and Persians
b often capitalized : one of the traditionally three wise men from the East paying homage to the infant Jesus
2: MAGICIAN, SORCERER
@@mugglescakesniffer3943 Because its apart of the world he created? You ignore that the witch in the book is the antagonist, as in the bad guy. Why would a fundamentalist church disagree with that portrayal of a witch?
Magi, in this instance, refers to 1a) and b). The three wise men were Zoroastrian priests, that is to say, “Magi”. They existed in a period before the modern definition of what a witch is, and certainly don’t fit under it. So the question is irrelevant.
Furthermore, the second part of the definition (“Magician and Sorcerer”) also doesn’t represent the same archetype as witches and wizards in Harry Potter, at least not during the period in which the biblical magi existed. “Sorcerer and Magician” referred to fortune tellers and illusionists at the time.
Loved the bit about Ireland! Though It’s had had its dark days with the catholic church, the country has an extremely rich folklore, and has always respected their “witches”, i.e women of strong standing in their community, with their own mind, and not afraid of their sexual power.
One of the most famous, Biddy Early, was a herbalist, doctor, veterinarian and modern day “counsellor”, so renowned for her healing powers, that people would travel far and wide just to be granted an audience with her. They say the pope even knew who she was. But, of course for all the wrong reasons.
Born in the 1700’s, Biddy was a bit of a rebel, and not only drank and smoked, but was an openly sexual woman, and possibly Ireland’s first 'cougar' at that, having had 4 husbands, all of which were much younger than her.
The police didn't like her, the church despised her, but the people respected her. And possibly feared her too. So much so, that when a prominent “male” doctor questioned her “healing” methods, and she was brought before a courts charged under the 1586 Witchcraft Statute, the case was thrown out “due to lack of sufficient evidence against the accused" because the prosecution couldn't find one single witness to speak out against her! Ha!
Far from being a “devil worshipper”, Biddy was said to be very spiritual, and many believed she was psychic. Legend grew around a famed blue bottle that she carried with her, a supposed gift from the fairies, or so she said. With or without her blue bottle, her “powers” of healing alarmed the Catholic Church. She was denounced publicly from the pulpit - on orders from Rome no doubt - and stopped attending mass completely, unheard of at the time.
She never “charged” for her gifts, instead accepting only what people could afford to give. Her cures were said to not only consist of applying herbs to a wound, feeding a concocted recipe to the sick, or talking somebody through a brevemente, but often treating animals too.
Today, Ireland proudly recognises Biddy not as a “witch” but as a pioneer with a gift for healing; an independent and smart woman who did her “thing” and refused to be "browbeaten” by the priests' and landlord's authoritarian doctrine.

this was such a pleasure to watch i absolutely love your channels and videos so much
Thanks for so much background on this subject! This is a fascinating video
I think it's notable that the abrahamic religions were not so homoginized early on. There was a lot more variation and discourse in general a more living and varied ideology.
The reason the Synod of Constantine was brought together to codify the Bible and hemogonize the Faith. This was because the differing faiths and belief in accountings of the Christ were causing the Christian quarter in Rome to be a literal battleground and potential ignition of a citywide riot. So, acceptance in the variants of their own assumed Faith, not so much. Regardless, we still see such infighting today, the battle of supreamacy of Dogma still played out, though not as barbarically. Although the Irish probably would beg to differ...
The variants like Pelagianism and Aryanism persisted for centuries.
Zombie Zeke they still aren't homogenized. Christianity is its own beast that makes lies about Muslims and Jews to force us to bend to their power, while ignoring the lesser known Abrahamic religions, such as Samaritans. Within Judaism, disagreement is outright expected, and it has widely varied beliefs due to the massive diaspora- including beliefs that many consider magical.

@@byronhamilton8021 Please elaborate why you disagree.
I wish christianity had never came to my country. We had our own cool thing going on. A bit like the vikings but it was our own belief system. Also, women were in higher regard than in Christianity.
Yeah that's actually ret-(slow)-ded. I'm no fan of catholics, but there's plenty of examples of them integrating with local cultures.
its a plague that spreads by thought rather than body
Catholicism is actually not Christianity. It is a pagan variant of Christianity. Both Catholicism and Catholicism Lite the Reformers killed real Christians who were the anabaptist. History is fun. :)
@@MrJuanduenas while thats true, Christianity is also pretty awful if you read the bible, both the old testament and the new have a lot of terrible shit in them.
To me, Kramer seems like he was either frustrated that he couldn't get a female date or he was the ugly stereotype of the closeted, misogynistic gay guy. Whatever his reasons for writing "The Malleus Maleficarum", he was a horrible excuse for a human being who wrote a sickening book and I sincerely hope karma has bitten or will bite him hard in the ass. The amount of human life lost as well as the centuries of herbal knowledge, spiritual wisdom, and native beliefs and cultures is just heartbreaking to think about. Thanks to the Burning Times, humanity's connection to our reverence for the earth was almost scorched away completely and the powerful, respected roles women once had in their communities were set back thousands of years. And even now, in 2020, we're still experiencing the effects of that. Just devastating. Gods guide us to do better, and grant the souls of those who suffered during the Burning Times peace. Blessed be. )O(
It's a myth that there was a concerted, focused war against witches and healers in Europe.
The replacement came gradually over many centuries, and the driving factor was political expediency, not religious fervor.
For example, the Cunningfolk in Britain were mostly male, middle class, and held other jobs, and were Christian.
The number of males killed in furing the witch persecution was not far from the number of females killed.
@@lockandloadlikehell Did you watch the video? Yes, people obviously used the witch trials for personal and political reasons, but Kramer, the guy who seemed to kick off the whole thing, was completely driven by religious-based zealotry and bigotry.

Might I suggest adding a credits list mentioning any relevant sources and films or books you quoted, just as citation?

@NXVI I'm one of those type and we do exist, but we hold to free will and to sacrifice a person forgoes free will and we don't do animal sacrifices either. If I need blood I use my own or go down to the local butcher shop and get some. Just like Christianity can have fucking crazy ass abusive people any religion can as well. Unlike most of the abrahamic churches we don't cover up sexual abuses and we report it to the local authority... but ya know, we're the evil ones. The church has a history of murder in the name of God, the blood of innocent people and children on their hands. Historically speaking the church has a stronger blood lust then that of the people in my path, the satanic panic was shown to be a modern day witch hunt filled with falsehoods and lies from Christians( comical) maybe try to understand those of us who choose this path instead of listening to lies from the church trying to scare children. One thing is that Lucifer didn't exist until the roman translation of the bible. That scripture in Isaiah was about king nebuchadnezzar II as the kings in Babylon were called sons of the dawn which translated to Lucifer in Latin form the Greek translation of phosphorus... most satanic practitioners know the bible better then most Christians, we actually take the time to learn what is written and not what some person spewing half truths and lies from behind a podium tells us.
@NXVI the first minute of that documentary tells me everything I need to know about your mind set... conspiracy theories and elite secret society... telling people to not research something out the gate because you'll commit a crime in the process.. yeah.. sure..
@NXVI also luciferians are not satanist either. You really need to fo some real research
Thanks for reminding me why I don’t read comment sections, especially on religious videos

Also important to note that any associated familiars fell victim to the burnings too - many animals were killed for being associated with the devil and often 'pets' of witches were killed alongside them.
Your content is so thorough! Thank you for listing the books 📚 ❤
I'm writing a novel that draws heavily from Witch history and the like so, this is a huge help.
How far is the novel? 😌
Twice during this film Heinrich Kramer is pictured with a portrait of Desiderius Erasmus. A humanist who will most certainly turn in his grave.
Yeah I’ve been told this a few times and it was an accident but still my fault. What happened was I didn’t know what Kramer looked like, but when I googled him a bunch of different pictures of Erasmus came up and I assumed that was Kramer which I shouldn’t have done. I try to never let anything like that happen but unfortunately it did here, I do always try to prevent things like that though.
@@InPraiseofShadows Then I am sorry I brought it up again. Your documentory is, apart from this picture, very interesting to watch. Thanks for posting it (and for your reply).
