What a fun read! And here my two cents about witches: the brooms comes from the fact that they actually kept their homes really clean as they knew that prevented diseases (at a time when so many deaths were really from a lack of hygiene!). They had a profound knowledge of nature and medicinal plants (thus the potions). Some of the plants they used had psychedelic qualities (thus when people would take them would hallucinate and see the witches โ€œflyโ€ on their brooms etc). Their relationship and knowledge of nature made them powerful healers but of course that scared a lot of people (men) and as with most fears that lead to violence (aka burning the witches). Witches have and will always exist though! ๐Ÿง™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒ—
