A hand holding up a woman’s long hair and turning it into a witch’s hat.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eI remember so well a school excursion to a history museum. There was a small section about the witch trials between the 15th and 18th century. I was fascinated, and as a child I thought it was so silly that they tested if a woman was a witch by drowning her, and if she floated, she was a witch… but what if she was actually innocent?\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eI didn’t think much of it at the time. Only years later did I realise they were all innocent women. Calling them “witches” diminished the impact of the femicide that was happening, and it’s still used today as a way to trivialize violence and aggression against women.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAnd on a less serious note: being called a “wizard” (a male witch) is considered a compliment, a wise, all-knowing master of their craft. Honestly, I aspire to be a witch myself these days, which I also take as a compliment. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Janneke Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54088048738650,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/5884\/3994\/files\/WiNvEkV5q5.jpg?v=1777569632","url":"https:\/\/theartistsurvives.nl\/en\/products\/burgundy-red-embroidery-witch-hunt","provider":"The Artist Survives ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
