Only difference is witches only want female empowerment and feminism whereas libertarians are the children of wealthy people that are totally down with the racism, sexism, and homo/transphobia of conservatism but are too afraid to actually commit because they like to smoke weed.

"Witches" tended to be social deviants, herbalists engaged with the remnants of pre-Christian culture, and/or social undesirables such as widows or serving women. They lived on society's fringes or otherwise defied societal expectations. It goes without saying they were overwhelmingly women, but of course, not exclusively.

Throw in a strict social hierarchy, social animus, and some ergot, and you've got nasty social violence.

Edit: The point is that that social hierarchy didn't win. It couldn't contain us. Not forever. And it never will be able to.

This kinda. To me, it's just saying they are the survivors of ancestors who weren't wrongfully burned in the Salem Witch trials.

It is kind of stupid. Because the women killed were not witches they were just people. This saying seems like yes they were this evil cabal women dangerous women out there , and they didn't get all of them.

It's a kinda silly quote for two reasons:

1) In Salem all the "witches" were hanged, not burnt at the stake - https://www.history.com/news/were-witches-burned-at-the-stake-during-the-salem-witch-trials

2) In Salem, a lot of the "witches" hanged actually had children survive them - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_of_the_Salem_witch_trials#Executed

It sounds like saying "you were right to suspect single and lonely women and set them on fire, you just didn't kill enough of them" which is weirdly self owning.

Everywhere else, there was a much better balance of male/female ratio executed for witchcraft. In fact, more men than women were prosecuted for witchcraft in countries such as Normandy, Estonia, Burgundy, Russia and Iceland. The quote only makes sense in the context of Salem, thus "daughters".

Salem, Mass. is just the biggest example of weirdo Satanic Panic from days past. It was basically caused by old school herbal hallucinogenic cocktails spread on broomsticks and 'applied' to mucus membranes.

Then the Salem government saw a chance to grab land by randomly calling people they didn't like "witches" and having them executed. Mass hysteria allowed that all to happen.

Bad history is what I'd think.

The overwhelming majority of people killed as witches were not pagans they were regular people were wrongly accused and then were killed.

Neo pagans coopting their deaths is like people at a furrie convention saying they are spiritual descendants of people that were killed in the middle ages because they were suspected of being werewolves.

The last witch hunts must've taken place in the early 1900s. However, the last witch burnings would've been 16th-17th century I would assume so we're looking at several generations.

Thats how they know theyre the daughters of witches. When they reached 100 years old, they thought they were lucky. They knew something was up sometime before 200.
