“Spencer! Where are you, you good-for-nothing…” Dallon grumbled as he searched for his young apprentice.

“Working the forge once again, are we?” asked the Wood Carver, his voice tinged with slight disappointment.

“A witch?” the Queen inquired. “It's been eras since a witch has turned rotten.”

“That coven has long since dispersed, torn apart from the wars waged against them,” King Peter stated.

Do you recall the tale of the Enchantress Hayley?” The courier did not wait for a response. “She never surrendered, kidnapping young girls from their homes and raising them in the way of the Hag. One grew up to become more powerful than the coven could ever imagine.”

“A Sorceress…” King Peter mumbled, stuck in trance of disbelief. “Send out word to all the Knights, in this Kingdom and the next. Alert King Frank and Queen Gerard, along with King Michael and Queen Ray. Hell, tell Joseph and Andrew as well.”

“I believe it best not to alarm the people,” Queen Patrick entered. “Find a Hero, keep our residents safe, but do not unnecessarily frighten them.”

“Yes, your Majesties. Thank you,” the courier bowed and left the castle, heading to warn the bordering Dominions.

    In the 1600’s many people began having random convulsions. This was new and terrifying, and of course the only explanation the Puritans could offer was witchcraft. There were some men accused of witchcraft, the majority of were women because they were considered “more susceptible to satanic overtures, inherently more wicked” (64). Here it is clear that women were considered inferior and so could more easily be accused. A witch, Schiff says, could apply to any woman who speaks her mind, because women were not supposed to do so; they were supposed to be submissive.…

    J. Kent explores this idea and suggests that male and female witchcraft had different fundamental structures. “Modern scholars understand witchcraft as part of the world of women, not just in terms of the objects of bewitchment, but also in its localization within the household or neighbourhood.” (pg. 72 ) Kent then describes how witches operated in secret groups--now know as covens--whereas men had the liberty of practicing “occult sciences” in the public sphere.…

    Maleficium is the Latin translation of evil deeds and harmful magic, and it is extensively used in the historical documents of witchcraft. The typical identification of witches is whether they practice maleficium. Because it is categorized as a harmful magic as opposed to magic that contributes to the good deeds, people who practice maleficium are commonly identified as witches. However, Kent’s theory supports that maleficium is performed not only by female witches, but also by male witches, as “But men were also accused of maleficium and were believed to perpetrate the black magic of harm and injury.” (Kent, 297) It can be interpreted as witches also practice black magic regardless of gender.…
