The final challenge for #tcwitchyoctober22 was to talk about witch trials. "The first written mention of witches in Zagreb goes back to the 14th century, to be precise in 1360, when a document tells about the trial of Alice and Margareta, who must not repeat their witch crimes or they will be punished without trial and defense. They, just like the witch Dragica two years later, could be acquitted by jurors standing up for them and swearing on their honesty. In our country, this old Slavic custom of defense was replaced by an investigation under torture at the beginning of the 17th century. However, the burnings started happening in Croatia not long after the publication of the book Malleus Maleficarum - this time, Croatia did not wait long for the movements in Europe. Thus, history testifies to the burning of Ursula, daughter of shoemaker Luka, who was sued for destroying her brother's marital happiness with magic. both were burned on September 6, 1496." #witchtrials #alessoninvengeance #victorialee #darkacademia #halloweenreads #bookworm #bookstagram #witchtrialsincroatia #malleusmaleficarum #instabook #currentlyreading #halloween #halloweendecor #🎃 (at Rukavac, Primorsko-Goranska, Croatia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYlbyyI56H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm a bit late to the 2nd challenge for #tcwitchyoctober22 about local witches abd folklore so... Back in 1632, the herbalist from Svetvinčent Mara Radolovich was accused by her fellow citizens of being a witch and of making a deal with the devil. Although she used to treat fellow citizens with her herbs until recently, she was condemned to burn at the stake in the courtyard of the Grimani-Morosini castle. Another version of the legend says that Mare was condemned because she was the secret lover of a rich nobleman. Their relationship was not supposed to be known, so the unfortunate Mare ended up at the stake. Any local witch folklore where you're from? #witch #locallegends #witchmara #svetvincenat #witchyreads #manga #flyingwitch #bookstagram #instabook #bookworm #readingaddict https://www.instagram.com/p/CkS3CHWLiTV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our first task for #tcwitchyoctober22 was to talk about tarot or to do a reading, and I just did a 3 card draw. The star - hope for the future, inspiration, courage The tower - danger, sudden change, destruction The devil - addiction, obsession, excess I am not good at interpretation but this does not look good. Any thoughts? #spellworkforselfcare #tarot #tarotcards #tarotreading #fall2022 #autumnvibes #halloweendecor #halloween #bookstagram #bookish #bookphotography #instabook #readingaddict #readersofinstagram #witchybooks #witchyaesthetic @libraryofamoonchild (at Rukavac, Primorsko-Goranska, Croatia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cje9X3CoSPP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First day of October and I started my first book for the #tcwitchyoctober22 readathon. I am so glad I chose The Winter of the witch for my first read, already on page 88 and loving it. I missed Vasya. #currentlyreading #thewinterofthewitch #winternighttrilogy #katherinearden #vasyaandmorozko #vasya #morozko #fantasy #bookworm #bookish #bookstagram (at Rukavac, Primorsko-Goranska, Croatia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjLZu9Pr_Ol/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"A landscape, unrecognisable after a snowfall ; that is that she has made of my life." I finished this beauty today, it was really beautifully made but horrific.
