Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.

I think this post is based on very wrong assumptions. Healing people with herbs and folk remedies was a very normal part of early modern life. It wasn't particularly associated with women and those who practiced it would have enjoyed a degree of social status and personal independence, like any other useful trade.
