Pastors and priests, however, complained that their parishioners were too quick to blame their pains on witchcraft instead of recognizing the ways that God tested and punished them for their deviation from the devotion expected of them.

WITCHCRAFT
WITCHCRAFT. Despite a generation of excellent research, the history of witchcraft remains bedeviled by a host of misperceptions. Ordinary readers often assume that the major witch-hunts occurred in the Middle Ages, that they were conducted by the Catholic Church, and that they reflected the prescientific notions and sexual fantasies of fanatics and neurotics. Elsewhere one can read that huge chain reaction witch trials constituted a "women's holocaust" accounting for millions of deaths, and that the witch-hunters especially targeted midwives and female healers. All of these conclusions are both wrong and misleading. The great age of witchcraft trials came after 1430, and primarily after 1570. The prosecuting magistrates were almost always secular officials, imbued with the best thinking of prominent theologians, philosophers, and even scientists. The numbers of those executed have often been exaggerated by a factor of one or two hundred. Men made up perhaps a quarter of those executed, and there is little evidence that midwives or healers were singled out for suspicion anywhere. But historical prejudices are hard to uproot.
Ivy's abilities as a bone witch extended beyond simple spellcasting. She could communicate with spirits and harness their energy to amplify her own magic. This unique gift made her a valuable asset in battles against powerful enemies. With each encounter, Ivy grew stronger, absorbing the essence of defeated foes into her bones, strengthening her spells and expanding her repertoire of abilities.

The bone witch was known to be a kindred spirit, always willing to assist those in need and share her knowledge with aspiring magic users.

Ivy's powers drew the attention of darker forces, who sought to exploit her abilities for their gain. She faced constant danger and had to be ever vigilant to protect herself and others. But despite the threats she faced, Ivy never wavered in her commitment to the greater good. Through her unwavering dedication and sheer talent, Ivy Asher, the bone witch, became an icon in the magical community. Her name resonates throughout history as an exemplar of strength, compassion, and unparalleled skill. Ivy's legacy lives on, inspiring future generations of bone witches to follow in her footsteps, protecting the balance between the magical and mortal realms..
