@theshamelessbookclub: Did you know that medical misogyny has its roots in the witch trials? Or that gossip used to be a vital tool for female solidarity and safety? @caitemmaburke recently sat down with author @luciannetonti to chat about her new book ‘Good Witch: In Search of Our Lost Feminine Power’, and why we’re still paying the price for the witch trials, hundreds of years later. #BookTok #books #witch #reading #witchy
As a man, I am baffled by what men have done to women throughout history. The lengths they went to just because a woman was smarter....horrible.

But when men put spells on water to make it “holy,” they are called priests.

Dr. James Marion Sims, the "Father of Modern Gynecology" perfected his methods through repeated, unanesthetized experimental surgeries on at least 10 enslaved black girls in Alabama between 1845 and 1849. 3 of their names were written down: Anarcha, Betsey, and Lucy "The Mothers of Modern Gynecology"😢😭

How to Kill a Witch- the book the witches of Scotland founders wrote, goes into the history of the church “stealing” the healer profession away from local women. And so much more. 💙

All of things are still happening today, just under a different guise than witchcraft. Woman have and always will be persecuted for being who they are.

“We are gentleman, and gentleman have clean hands.” (Male doctors in the 19th century unintentionally killing a third of the women who came to the hospital to give birth. Meanwhile the midwives of the same time had around an 8% mortality rate for their birthing mothers)

Yes! the greek word "Pharmakeia", which has become "pharmacy", "pharmaceuticals" etc has its roots in healing (or poisoning) practices by women believed to be connected to the supernatural and occult. anyone who has read 'Circe' already knows this ☺️
