How many Halloweens’ have you seen four thousand green faced, wart covered, wiry haired “Witch” decorations that some pagans get so up in arms about. They don’t really bother me all that much. I don’t let them. I could get all pissy about the ignorance of others but these green horrible faces are not totally inaccurate. obviously we modern witches don’t have horrible skin and ratty messy hair but in the past those accused of witchcraft did and this is why. During the burning times, innocent people were stuffed into dirty rooms filled with human waste, rats and dead bodies waiting their turn to die. In these conditions of disease, lack of natural light and starvation, these peoples skin started a pale yellowish color. They were not allowed a change of clothes or to bath and their bodies started becoming covered in sores “warts” if you will. They had their hair cut jagged and short in preparation for the flames. From legends of these sights, films were spawned that portrayed this, sealing our fate. Next time you see a green faced warty ragged haired witch on a broom stick remember this post and you might feel a little bit better. As times changes and people become more educated about our beliefs and the people we are this whole image may change. I see more and more images of sexy earthy goddess looking witches all of the time like the one below. That one looks a little bit like me on a night with a full moon in the sky when the air is damp and its made my mascara run., Even in this Artists beautiful depiction of a witch we see a problem. The pentagram around her neck is inverted. This is usually associated with Satanists since this is the symbol Anton LaVey used. Before this symbol was used bu Anton LaVey it belonged to the Order of the Eastern Star, a mixed-member branch organization of Freemasonry
