The Witch and the moon
This legend is as old as medieval times,when darkness rule the land and peasants lived in constant fears of all the creatures of the night.From the living to the undead ,critters and cryptids that roam the villages searching for innocent farmers to be snatched and consumed by the denizens of the night.Witches come from the north where the land gets cold and dark and raven and crows scavenge and kill small animals,rats squirrels and leftover carcasses.The witches often take these birds as pets and train them to be messengers.In olden times witches were seek to heal and give potions for spells to keep bad spirits away ,in exchange for silver and gold coins and herbs and dead animals to be used in battle and rituals.Also this typical stereotype of a witch flying on a broomstick to the coven,is a false one ,what they really did was to smear belladonna ointments on their legs and then effect was one of complete numbness and a trance that make them believe they were flying.The moon energy was crucial to their rituals to get maximum results.Words by Sergio GuymanProust.
