5 parts Ongoing You've heard about witches-evil creatures, ugly or beautiful women-little stories of the harm or good they've done in every tribe and culture. You've heard some are good, some evil, but no one really wanted to know how witches came into existence.
My name is Arachne, and I am the very first witch. Let me show you how and why I became the first witch.
I lived in a time when women were seen as nothing more than vessels for children and slaves to their husbands. In my era, the gods were male, and their power was absolute. But I was different. A spark within me burned bright with curiosity, defiance, and a desire for justice.
I was wronged, dear readers. I was wronged by the very people who should have protected me. In that moment of darkness, I made a choice: to seek power, revenge, and justice. And so, I made a deal with a being from the underworld-a being of great power and wisdom.
Together, we crafted a spell that would change the course of history. A spell that would make me the very first witch. And so, it was done. I became the queen of witches, the one who would lead the way for all those who came after me.
My story isn't one of evil, but of survival. Not one of ugliness, but of beauty. Not one of weakness, but of strength. And I tell you this, dear reader, so that you may know the truth: witches are not creatures to be feared, but women to be respected.
