Witch Candle on Hand - Main Sign of Sorceress

Do you know that a witch's mark on his hand is the main sign that you can recognize as a witch? At the words "witch" or "sorceress" we often recall the famous trials of witches that took place in medieval Europe. In our imagination, an old hag with a stick immediately arises, the main purpose of which is to make minor and major mischiefs to one's neighbors. It was believed that from ordinary women a witch is distinguished by a special witch sign located on the body or on the palms. Few people now know that originally witches were called wise women, healers, healers and guides, and this name was formed from the ancient word "Veda" - knowledge.

The witch was considered a mediator between our world and the world of spirits. Its main purpose was to heal people and give wise advice. In ancient times, such women necessarily had their own goddess-patroness. In Russia, after the Russian people accepted the Greek faith, witches began to be treated with apprehension, but they still did not refuse the help of wise guides. Quite a different matter was in Europe XVI-XVII centuries. To this day, judicial records of witch-hunting have survived, affecting the imagination with their cruelty and bloodthirstiness. As a result of the persecution of innocent women, a book appeared, a kind of instruction in which the fathers-inquisitors described how to distinguish a witch from a God-fearing woman.

According to this book, the witch's mark on the hand is by no means the only distinctive feature of the witch. This sign was considered any unusual mark on the body. Professional witch hunters believed that this is how the devil branded his accomplices. A special distinctive sign was a large wart. The Holy Fathers believed that this is the nipple through which the witch feeds the devil. The same book described the order of the trial, and the torture that should have been subjected to the investigation.

A woman accused of sorcery was undressed, tied up, carefully removed from her body hair and inspected him. It was believed that the sign of the witch can not be in sight, so he was looking for the most intimate parts of the body. Each birthmark of a suspicious form was pricked with special needles - if a woman did not feel pain, then she was a witch. As a rule, the skin on such sites loses its sensitivity, so almost every unfortunate witch, caught in the paws of the holy Inquisition, turned out to be a witch . If on the body of the defendant there were no signs at all, the torture did not end there. They continued until the Inquisitor's needle found a patch of skin with a low sensitivity. Even the perfect body did not save the unfortunate, for the devil could bestow this perfection on her. When the woman's guilt was considered proven, she was burned at the stake. These bloody auto-da-fofs were held throughout Europe for two centuries. On the fires burned the best representatives of the weaker sex of that era.

Some superstitions in the darkness of the Middle Ages have survived to this day, but the attitude towards women, gifted with the gift of healing, has changed for the better. The witch's mark on the hand has not scared anyone for a long time. Palmists claim that this sign consists of small lines that form a picture in the form of the eye. It is called "The Eye of the Witch". You can find this sign at the base of the palm, in the region of the Hills of the Moon. It is believed that the sign "Witch's Eye" marks a person endowed with a special talent. Among those who are marked by this sign, there are often healers, oracles and fortune tellers, that is, people who have a connection with the other world. Such people, endowed with very strong energy and the gift of foreboding, are born either in the beginning or at the end of the millennium. As a rule, both the witch sign on the hand, and the accompanying talents, are inherited, often through the women's line and through the generation. It is on this sign that you can distinguish between a real sorcerer or a leader from a charlatan and a deceiver.
