Traditional Witchcraft is Medical Heresy: The Patriarchal Medical Establishment Vs. Witches as Healers
Healing and harming were both crimes, if done by women.
In the modern age, it is a fairly established fact that witchcraft, in whatever form, is a heresy against the establishment religion, however, traditional witchcraft is, also, a heresy against orthodox science and allopathic (modern Western) medicine. Moreover, this is still probably the most dangerous and controversial heresy because there is still a state persecution of healers who stand outside the ordained class of professional men – and, the practice of medicine, at least, in the U.S., is almost entirely dominated by men.
So, when I say that the old witch hunters are still with us – that we have not changed and they have not changed even now in the 21st century – this is true, especially in the realm of medicine.
Modern Western Medicine is a De Facto Priesthood of the Old Catholic Church
If we trace the history of the witchcraft persecutions and the history of allopathic medicine in W. Europe we find that allopathy is a de facto priesthood of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, which was formed by men in the 13th century. The men who did such work could only do so through the power of the priesthood, by permission of the Church and with the blessing of a priest by his side to assure that his power was derived only from God. No women were allowed access to this new priesthood class, just as they were not allowed any other position in the Church.By the following century, the first persecutions of women as witches were underway. While the character of the witch persecutions in W. Europe involved victims from all classes and both sexes and motivations for such violence varied, the targets were primarily women.
By our very natures, women are regarded as being “in league with the devil.” It is women who are able to bring forth new life, a power outside the authority of God and his Church. It is, also, women who knew the most about their own health and human health, in general, since it is only women who possess female bodies and it is primarily women who care for infants and children. Women as a class of people, therefore, were regarded by the authorities of church and state as evil and Satanic.
Women who healed without a “license” from the patriarchal establishment were tried and executed. Allopathic doctors actively participated in the persecutions; they conducted the sexualized examinations and torture of women and determined whether or not they were to be tried as witches.
Only men were allowed to practice medicine. Only men were allowed into this new priesthood. And once the doctors became a professional class, only men were allowed into their schools. In the United States up until fairly recently only white men were permitted to formally study allopathic medical doctoring.
This patriarchal medical establishment has survived and thrived only because of its willingness to use violence against its opponents and with the advent of socialized medicine in W. Europe and the current attempt to force allopathy on every single person in the U.S. it has almost entirely triumphed and it has done so on the sea of blood and broken bones of centuries of women as witches and women health practitioners.
The primary impetus for terrorizing, torturing and murdering unknown numbers of women in W. Europe for centuries was to rout out and destroy the last vestige of true healing – to destroy the knowledge base and those who held it – primarily women, women as doctors and women as witches, which is really all the same thing.
Bloodletting: An early, dangerous and unnecessary allopathic practice.
95% or more of allopathic medicine is unnecessary. It almost always does more harm than good, but it is a difficult subject to broach with most people, even the most educated and enlightened. This is because the patriarhal establishment with its artifices of religion, pseudo-science and quackery, coupled with its complete domination of popular culture for well over two centuries in the U.S. has made it nearly impossible.
