HOW TO RECOGNIZE A WITCH How does one recognize a witch? Throughout history many women have been wrongly accused of being witches, for it is common knowledge that women are more susceptible to the devil's influence, but not all of these were actual witches. To discover if a person you suspect is a witch please pay attention to these little questions: 1. Does the suspected woman disobey her husband? 2. Does she plant two types of crops in a field? 3. Does she congregate with one or more female friends, without a male chaperone? 4. Is she ever observed quarrelling with her female friends? 5. Is she elderly, but still poor or without children? 6. Does she wear garments with mixed fabrics? 7. Does she put babies on spikes? IF YOU ANSWERED "YES" TO ANY TWO OR MORE OF THESE QUESTIONS, THEN IT'S HIGHLY LIKELY THAT YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED A WITCH.
