  • In the church of St. Mary’s in the small English village of Troston, a group of medieval markings known as ‘witch marks’ adorn the wall. Their purpose was to ward off evil - especially the demonic kind.

      Both things are true you’re just naive. Everything you’ve heard is true but only love can drive out demons. This is counter to man’s instinct. Our instinct is to pick up a weapon. We are not used to love being the answer.

      Unenlightened humans cause a lot of chaos and death. You could say that our Ego's are the devil...and we stalk the land. Not intentionally, but unless we intentionally stop killing and causing chaos...we will continue to torment each other

    Actually Anti-Witch marks is also a misnomer since witches never practiced the Occult/Demonology because they don't believe in demons, Witches who did worship either worshipped the goddess or the earth, or goddesses from other pantheons outside of Christianity particularly those known by the west such as Greek and Roman deities, However, witches or wisewomen as they were first called, didn't necessarily seek deities to worship.

    • @Our_Family152
      @Our_Family152 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually the witches then were or are not like Wicca, and "real-original" classical witches actually have been proven to worship the devil.

    I always wondered, whats the difference between magic and miracles? Does the church just decide that?

    • @aRandomFox00
      @aRandomFox00 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Pretty much. If it suits the narrative, it's a "miracle from god". Otherwise it's witchcraft.

    • @PunkMartyr
      @PunkMartyr ปีที่แล้ว

      Most motivations are either rooted in Love or one of the darkness emotions. I don’t think witchcraft is dangerous if love is the motivating factor.

      Miracles only come from God. Magic doesn't exist. It is. all illusion. However, magik or magick is witchcraft. These occur though the power of Satan or demons. Miracles don't have consequences like magik does

      From my understanding miracles are preformed by god were as magic is done via the devil or something else. Now when it comes to proving which it is yeah it's basically the church just say's so.

    I'm not inexpert but I am very spiritual and that looks like the demon of Leviathan the big eyes in the teeth is this Marine spirits treacherous evil. Fearing and believing in something like this only gives it more power. The spirit of fear will chew you up and spit you out you must be strong in the Lord

    These marking look like bathroom wall scribbling. Did the church and the priest really allow people to deface the walls? I doubt this was sanctioned.
    I bet some kid snuck in late at night to do this.
    Does art sponsored by the church at this time feature any of these markings? If not, chances are the church did not encourage Satan and his minions having this much power. That would be utter pandemonium.
