things that would make you a witch in medieval times.

find out what the 6 most common and bizarre witchcraft accusations were throughout history.

the amount of items on this list that involve children make me think that the children were the real witches all along

The sight of two women playing hot potato with witchcraft accusations was probably a more intense verbal standoff than even the fiercest rap battle history has ever known.

To be fair, coding - which often features math - is pretty much techno-witchcraft.

Things my husband has in common with a medieval Viking:
1. Insists math is witchcraft.
2. Is happy to let his wife handle all the finances.

I guess being a woman with personality, knowledge, and desires was considered witchcraft.

“I’m so sorry professor, I didn’t do my pre calculus homework because math is witchcraft.”

"medieval men hate to see a medieval boss women winning" best line ever XD. Though not 100 true. "witchcraft" in Viking culture was appreciated. Thus why women were put in charge of finances.

[skrahnha]

the concept of "witchcraft" was a little different in pre-Christian Scandinavia. It was more like gendered magic and to mix them up was unacceptable. A woman doing finances wasn't really witchcraft, it was more like women's magic. The only issue would be if a man did woman's magic or vice versa.

Hey! I'm so glad this got recommended to me! Love the humour! And in a YouTube-world where Sam O'Nella-clones are popping up like weeds - your distinctive and creative style is very much appreciated!!

Funny story: I'm Dutch, and during the witch trials in the Netherlands, people used to believe that witches had long hair. At the time of me learning that, I was still in high school, and at the time, we were taking this field trip in a museum dedicated to the witch-hunting days of my country. We were getting this tour there, and one room there had these historic spikes in select places on the ceiling: they were placed on one of those historic support poles that you could see on the inside of that building. Back in the witch-hunting days, people believed that a witch's long hair would get caught in those spikes, and they would get trapped that way. I'm a goth with waist-length hair, so you can understand: I had a good chuckle at that part of the lecture, and needless to say that literally everyone in class looked my way during that part of the tour. 🤣

I took a class in college that specifically focused on witchcraft in this era. What I learned was basically: if you breathe and are a woman, you’re a witch. Blink and be a woman, witch. Speak and be a woman, witch. Pet a dog and be a woman, witch.

1. Being left handed
2. Writing fantasy stories
3. Being a woman

[tripjohnston]

the fact that one is that you were in another persons dream could proved that you were a witch even though the persons dream you were in could be lying to get out of their penalty

This is literally the FIRST channel I've seen with this style that isn't a knockoff of Sam O'nella!
Congrats do more of this original take in style!

[flynntaggart]

the stupidest part was them not calling witch trials "witch or bitch" i mean really

[chloesibilla]

"If the men find out we can shape shift they'll call the church "! Literally

[Saedris]

Crazy to look back at those periods, humanity couldve progressed 100s of years if they didnt kill the "Witches" (Who were actually intuitive and smart people)
I look back in disappointment

[DiegoRockLoiro]

The middle ages ended around the 15th century, so something that happened on 1770 or 18th century was not a medieval times thing. Also, the witch hunts started right after the medieval times ended and it’s peak was years after the ending of the medieval times. If possible I would like to see the source of the information mentioned in the video.
The animations are great though!

[mikehipps]

Poopie is the only channel where I like a video immediately when I start it. I've thoroughly enjoyed every one I've seen.
Happy new year!

The fact we still act exactly like this is terrifying to me.
