Yes, a fairy tale. Think about the elements. Witches, poison apples, dwarfs, mean step mom, handsome prince. All fairy tales have these things.


What poison drove the Salem witches mad?

You have your facts mixed up. Those accused of witchcraft were unlucky and did not go mad. The accusers were the ones who were crazy. There is no proof that poison caused the accusers to do what they did, but some people do think that Ergotism, the technical term for poisoning resulting from eating Ergot infected wheat, may have been the agent that caused affliction.


Is Nocturnal Poison Photography an appropriate name for a photography studio?

The name should reflect the style of the photographer and/or be pleasing and inviting to the clientele if you wish to augment the chance for success. So if you wish to attract the likes of vampires, witches and sociopaths as clients, I'd say it's a great name.


How do you kill a witch in minecraft the easy way?

I'm pretty good with combat with witches. Number one, don't get too close to the witch, and number two, keep hitting them with arrows until they die. The reason why you don't want to get too close is because they will hit you with potions of slowness and poison. I also think they throw harming potions but I could be wrong.


Name something you associate with Snow White?

Poison Apples. I also associate those with the mysterious benedict society (really good book!) also, disney trying to draw witches that look more like hags from Harry Potter. Teehee! LOL :D


What kind of things would a witch who is called upon do?

ANSWERThat depends on what era you are talking about, and what the witch was specifically asked to do. Commonly, witches of old were called upon to protect and watch over women giving birth (midwives), use herbs and other items in healing illness and injury, give advice on spiritual or other protection, teach, and so on. Today witches can do much the same thing.Witches in a magickal context exist within many cultures. A witch is a practitioner of magick and spell craft. They are most often associated with the Neo-Pagan tradition, although Witchcraft still exists in many tribal societies in much the same form as ancient times.Answer 2:In my opinon: Witches (in the magical context) don't exist. What I mean with that is witches like the ones you see in movies. And if someone says they are a witch (in the magical context) they are lying. Quite easy to be honest. So they will not be able to curse you or anyone else...unless you believe in what they do; in which case anything will look like it was caused by a curse or "magical incantaion" etc.If anything, a 'witch' is someone who has a vast knowledge on herbs and remedies like the person above wrote but I just wanted to clarify that the only way a 'witch' can harm you is if you 1. believe in magical nonsense and 2. if they somehow manage to poison or influence you in some kind of way with a herb.


Who was hemlock acording to the Macbeth by Shakespeare?

Hemlock is not a "who", it is a "what". It is a plant related to carrots and parsnips and cumin and cilantro and parsley, but it is a deadly poison. It is the poison used to execute Socrates as seen in Plato's Phaedo. In Macbeth one of the ingredients used by the witches in their stew is "root of hemlock digg'd in the dark".


How did witches supposedly get their powers?

They didn't know what they were doing, as they were paranoid superstitious Christians who conducted the infamous witch trials in Salem and elsewhere. They would administer such tests as "The Drowning Test," where they would take a suspected witch and try to drown her. It was a common belief that witches floated in water no matter what. So, if she was a witch, she would either float or she would somehow magickally escape and fly away. If she was not a witch, then she would, well, SHE WOULD DROWN, so the person was condemned to death either way. They kept doing this to innocent people over, and over, and over again all because of the fear of the christian god.

Why do people assume that witches are bad?

Thank you for your answer but I want to hear from people who DO think we are evil. Thank you again. (AS THIS IS MY QUESTION, I ASKED IT AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY THOSE WHO DO THINK WE ARE EVIL, THINK THAT.) GREAT ANSWER ABOVE Wicca ( properly pronounced witcha) is the Old English word for what we now call a shaman. The reason why we think of witches and pagans in general as being evil is that conquering religions always demonize the practices of the religions they replace. In fact, pagans are just as morally good or bad as everyone else, with this difference: pagans never have religious wars, or burn people at the stake, the way Christians do.
