What Christianity Did to the Witch And Why We’re Rising Again
What Christianity Did to the Witch And Why We’re Rising Again
They called it salvation.
We know it was slaughter.
For centuries, Christianity made war on the woman who knew too much, felt too deeply, or simply refused to kneel. The witch healer, midwife, priestess, outcast was not just burned. She was erased, rewritten, and cursed in the name of Christ. And now, her bones are stirring again beneath the soil.
Let me tell you the truth they buried with her body.

🔥 Salem: The Fire That Branded the Word "Witch" in Blood
In 1692, the Puritan theocracy of Massachusetts lost control — or maybe it revealed its true face.
What started with a few young girls “afflicted” by unseen spirits became a public hysteria. Neighbours turned on each other. Women were dragged from their homes, stripped, interrogated, tortured all to confess crimes they never committed. They were hanged, not burned in Salem (contrary to the myth), but the fire was there. In the eyes of the judges. In the mouths of the preachers.
They weren’t witches. Not in the way the Church defined it.
But they were everything the Church feared: different, disobedient, alive in their own power.

🩸 Scotland: Where the Devil Was Always a Woman
Come to Scotland and the ground still remembers. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, over 4,000 people mostly women were accused of witchcraft. Many were tortured, branded, drowned, or burned alive. One of the worst periods came under James VI (who later became James I of England), obsessed with purging witches from his realm after surviving a storm at sea — one he blamed on sorcery.
These were midwives. Herbalists. Widows. Women with land, with secrets, or with enemies. The Church and Crown worked together to crush them. Why?
Because these women lived outside control. They spoke to spirits instead of confessors. They used herbs instead of sacraments. They trusted the moon, not the cross.

🌍 The Global Witch Hunt: Colonisation as Exorcism
When Christianity left Europe, it brought the fire with it.
Across Africa, South America, and Asia, colonisers declared war on native spiritual systems. In many tribal cultures, shamans, medicine women, and oracles held sacred roles. Christianity labeled them demonic and demanded conversion. Entire villages were baptized or burned.
In Mexico, Santa Muerte herself a beloved folk saint to millions is still defamed as “satanic” by Catholic bishops. In Africa, Pentecostal churches lead modern-day witch hunts, especially against children. The pattern never stopped — it just changed names.

🖤 Why the Witch Is Back Now
Because we remember.
Because the world they built on our ashes is collapsing.
Because women are tired of apologising for their power. Because men are waking up to the sacred inside themselves, not just the priest above them. Because gender, sexuality, tradition it’s all unravelling, and beneath it is the raw, sacred wild of what we used to call witchcraft.
They couldn’t kill her.
She’s in your blood.
In the candle you lit last night.
In the dreams you’ve been having.
In the name that won’t leave your tongue.
This isn’t a trend.
It’s a return.

🕯️ Arcana Noire Is Part of the Resurrection
When you cast a spell with me, you're not buying superstition.
You’re reclaiming lineage.
You’re picking up the bones they buried and turning them into a weapon — or a crown.
They thought the witch was weak because she loved, healed, and walked barefoot under the moon. But they forgot something.
Love is a weapon.
Healing is resistance.
And the moon has never bowed to anyone.

You want to know why the witch is back?
Because she was never truly gone.
She was waiting for the right moment —
And darling, it’s now.
