Witch? Which?

Posted on July 29, 2024 by ogresan

Leaving old Japan for a bit, though still in folklore. I did a summary/meditation on the fine lines between Witches, Cunning Women, and Fairy Doctors in old Ireland. Quite often it was a distinction without a difference, except for intent and, of course, perception. With examples. Witches, Cunning Women, and Fairy Doctors
