Description

This picture depics my witch OC Melissa and :iconkinga-saiyans:´s OC Czarcia, both witches, praying for souls of other witches, or shall I say "witches".
Witch hunt were haunting the world for centuries (in fact, there is still some witch hunt in Africa), due to people being supersticious and retarded (clearly not only in the Middle Ages...).
Women accused of witchcraft were often somewhat different. They were often misfits and victims to gossips.
Interesting is the fact, that the catholic church does tell that widows should wear black to show their mourning. And surprise surprise, many "witches" were basically widows and were killed for being different - for wearing black clothes, what the fucking fuck??

There were obviously many other victims accused of witchcraft only for being different, for example due to having some knowledge of herbal medicine.

They were just misfits.

I am a misfit.

And if I was born ages earlier, I would be surely accused of witchcraft.

Wonderful drawing!  You make some very valid points about religion and the church.  I find that the less I have to do with the church the closer I feel to God.  It's amazing that what started out as a simple faith has become so convoluted over the centuries.  As far as the the Polish custom on Nov 1, we for the first time took part, honoring my wife's grandparents who were born in Poland. We did this as a way for my wife to connect with her Polish heritage of which she knows very little.
