    Hawthorne’s Young Goodman Brown was set in the seventeenth century when witchcraft was considered a wholly evil practice that would send the practitioner directly to hell. This sets the stage for the story as Young Goodman Brown meets with the devil in a dark forest and attends what is described as a meeting of the damned where fires blaze and people stand around talking and singing. One might wonder what would happen if Young Goodman Brown found himself in our world today. Witchcraft is no longer considered a soul-endangering, ticket to hell, but is now mainstream entertainment for our children.…

    Wicca is a common and older name for witchcraft; the term witchcraft has been defined in many different ways – in past times it was mostly referred to as a human harnessing of supernatural powers for the purpose of practicing black magic. For this reason, magic, witchcraft and sorcery has been associated with Satanism. Not all withes worship Satan; in fact most of them do not have a belief in Satan – nor is there a belief in hell, original sin or evil.…

    If the world would ever be put into any position as to where the governments would burn all of the book in the world, I don’t know if I would want to be living in it.

They spark creativity, inspire many for great things, share knowledge from the past to the future, and so many more.

    Although witchcraft has a place in the traditions of many cultures and religions throughout the world, there isn’t actual evidence account of witchcraft. In today’s society, witches are not considered “real,” at least not in the sense of being able to cast spells and influence the world through supernatural means. In 1486, Sprenger and Kraemer published the first and most significant book on the concept of witchcraft which was titled Malleus Maleficarum. The book made a huge impact to the widespread witch hunt. Most people accused of witchcraft were rural, poor, and single women. I do believe the hunts were seen as a massive effort to keep women in their place. Women were seen as evil and unclean people whose weakness could summon the devil…

    As a child fairytales was the only things that I read and even watched. I imagined many worlds of magic and fun. To me, fairytales and magic should be a part of every child’s youth. The reason is, with fairytales, they are the starting point to a child’s creativity and imagination but are also taught lessons in everyday life. As a child those lessons in the beginning are hard for then to comprehend as they are not fully capable to understand the lessons and meanings in the stories, but as they get older they become wiser and are able to understand the deeper meaning of the fairytales and what effect they had on their lives.…
