RE: Giving Birth to the Magical Syncosmi of the Cherinians
A beautifully written piece . And interesting. Accurate in it's concept.
In a strange way Cherine resonates with me. 😊 And somewhere this story resonates with my recent post on Witches - "I am a Witch. I love Wizards".
Syncosmi is interesting !
Thanks and I hope it means you've now been tempted into reading her stories.
I wanted to take out of a book the adventures of Robert as he is sent by someone from the future, from alternate reality to alternate reality, sometimes with his powers and sometimes with none, always to help another Robert and Cherine, but also so as to learn humility.
I realised I cannot do so, for it strongly refers to various experiences he had previously, so I have started from there: from what I have called The Doris War.
If you do not mind, here is a link to the first episode:

You cannot upvote for giving me money, so I feel it is not rude of me to mention the above. If you read the introduction and 1st post, I'd love to hear from you, as to what you think of it.
By the way, I did read your mentioned post, but there was such a long list of comments, I moved on to your winter painting.
I'll say here what I thought:
I think that witches, as with all other people, are a mixture of talented and those who only pretended and often did not bother to study their art properly and caused harm (with wrong herbs, etc) and are thus responsible for the dislike and fear of powers ascribed to witches, since the victims could not have known that it was the ignorance and stupidity of those women in particular.
I would say that most were normal women with inherited from grandmothers information about healing and thus they became sought out - which means that many then feared them.
Do not forget that often it was the ignorant women of that period who incited the men against the witches.
What does fascinate me is the strong possibility that some of them were women who were born with gifts, whether of empathy, healing or of seeing the past or future. It is, to me, very sad that they felt the need or were compelled to distance themselves and removed themselves in this way from the gene pool.
Imagine men and women of such gifts passing on to their children their gifts, so that Mankind evolved - how much better off would we be now? If not better, then it definitely would be true that life would be a lot more interesting.
I will definitely read the link and send you my feedback . As regards "ignorant women inciting men to go against them", I would like to say this - In a patriarchal society, males don't need a reason to be provoked into hurting others or oppressing free minds. The art of abuse , oppression, subjugation, ego, arrogance, ignorance , persecution, gossip, rumour, misbelief, ulterior motives, politics comes naturally to males and to mainstream patriarchal society ! 😊
I will Definitely read your link. I am curious about Cherine and Robert 😊💐
