The history of witchcraft in Europe begins with both folk beliefs and with religious and classical texts. The texts have roots in Hebrew, Greek and Roman history. The development of beliefs about what witchcraft meant — and especially the history of its gradual identification as a kind of heresy — takes effect over hundreds of years. I have also included a few American and global events for perspective on the history of witchcraft trials and executions.

Jesus,
Do you remember?
You said,
“Come to me,
…and I will give you rest,
…and you will find rest for your souls.”
Please lead me to you,
and give me rest
in your meek and lowly heart.
Amen.

Skipping and talking non-stop after playing at the vegetable garden, Thu’s daughter asks her to take her to a small fish pond located at the back of the hospital, near the medical wastewater treatment zone.

Giêsu ơi,
Khi Adam và Eva ăn trái từ cây “biết thiện ác”,
trái tim họ trở thành trái tim phân biệt.
Trước khi ăn,
họ thấy mình và thiên nhiên là một.
Sau khi ăn,
họ thấy mình và thiên nhiên khác biệt và tách rời.
“Họ thấy mình trần truồng,
họ mới kết lá vả làm khố che thân (1).” Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 228 – Prayer 228
