Any subversive elements may just be witches (see The Jakarta Method).

This means that teachers covering sex Ed, consent, gender, or other alternative ways of life are quite literally witches to them. Kinda rad actually but knowing that doesn't make me feel safe as a nb weirdo

What ARE folkloric witches? Not unmarried epileptic herbalist women or whatever. I mean the ones dancing with DIVERS DIVELLS on the hilltop, poisoning milk cows, salting gardens... they're the edge of the chaos outside the current order bleeding in and working against so called civilization.

This was a great episode. One thing: right wing consliracy dipshits often literally believe in cauldron stirring witches in hidden sub basements under every public school, yes, and there's the obvious parallels between Q bs, blood libel, child killing might spirits etc etc... But!
