I wear the Pagan start around my neck and pray to both the Lord and Lady of the Old Religion, hence my knowledge of magick.

We're all forgetting an important point. Was she, in fact, a witch?

Unfortunately, that is exactly how the Malleus Maleficarum described it. Such injustice that happened in those times and I see they still happen today.

No, it just makes it funnier.

Would it be funnier if someone pointed a finger at you for some stupid reason and treated you this way?

No, I'm not a witch.

It is not illegal to be a witch in Jharkhand, so what if she is? Does it mean it is right to treat her with such cruelty for it?
