Witches have a long history dating back to ancient goddesses like Hekate and Circe. The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 saw the wrongful accusation and execution of many. Modern Wicca emerged in the 20th century as a pagan religion focused on nature. While stereotypes of evil witches persist in media, actual modern witchcraft involves harnessing natural energies without harming others.

The document discusses how the Nation of Islam empowered black Americans during a time of oppression by using Islam as a symbol of beauty and power, in contrast to Christianity which was seen as a white man's religion, though the same faith has been accused of oppressing Muslim women by masking their beauty and freedom. It questions how two oppressed groups, black people and women, found such different outcomes from practicing Islam, and recognizes the need to differentiate between the Nation of Islam and other sects of the Islamic faith.
The document discusses myths from various cultures around the world. It provides examples of myths from Greek mythology like Scylla and Charybdis, and gods representing values. It also summarizes myths being explanations for origins in Southeast Asian countries and the forces of creation and destruction in Hindu myths from India. Japanese mythology is described as celebrating nature and the nation by explaining the origins of its islands and divine emperors.
The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 were caused by a combination of factors:
1) A history of witchcraft hysteria in Europe and beliefs from the Bible that witches should be killed.
2) Tensions between religious Puritan communities in Salem Village and Salem Town.
3) Superstitions fueled by the Puritan religion and accusations from young girls that led to mass hysteria.
4) Over 150 people were accused of witchcraft and 20 were executed before the trials ended.
The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a play about the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. It opened on Broadway in 1953 and is also an allegory for McCarthyism and the Red Scare of the 1950s. Miller drew parallels between the ritualistic hearings of the historical witch trials and those held by the House Un-American Activities Committee. He used the Salem trials as an allegory to shed light on the "hysteria" occurring in his own times.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

2. Witches:
According to Merriam Webster the top three definitions of
Witch is: a woman who is thought to have magic powers, a
person who practices magic as part of a religion (such as
Wicca), a very unpleasant woman
https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/three-witches-22896908.jpg
3. Witch refers to Wicca, which means wise. In Greek and
Persian, the root words for magic are magos and magus,
which means wise. They also refer to the English word,
magi, which means wise men. Now, most people, when they
think witch, they just think of the modern witch with the old
woman, pointy nose and hat, warts, evil laughter. Some even
think about the Salem Trials in 1692. Long story short,
witches don’t have the best reputation. During this
documentary, we will look from the very beginning of
witches to modern day witches.

A Little Background:
4. HEKATE (HECATE):
One of the earliest goddess of all time and possibly the very first
witch was, Hekate (Hecate). Hekate was said to have three bodies.
One for Heaven, Earth, and Hell. Or past, present, and future. She
was called the triple goddess, mother goddess, dark goddess, and
some even called her, “Queen of Witches.” Now, Hekate was a Titan
goddess, one of the last Titans after they were wiped out, was
respected by the Olympians. She brought good luck and prosperity to
them and the people.

AN00969955_001_l.jpg
5. It is said she rule Hell for a time before Hades ever did. Hekate
spent time at the crossroads, like crossroad demons people have
heard of. She was there with her familiars, the black dogs. She
was know to protect people who, “lived on the edge.” the ones
that were shunned out and were misunderstood. She could
tolerate and they were comfortable in her company. (LeRoy)
The symbol on the right is the Hekate wheel. It is said Hekate
can go to other worlds beyond this one. It also shows she is the
keeper of the crossroads.

Hekate (Hecate):
6. Kirke (Circe):
Another with/ goddess was Kirke or Circe. Circe was also a Titan goddess, as Hekate. Her name is Kirkoo in Greek, meaning,
“to secure with rings,” or “hoop around.” They say it is a binding power of magic.
She is mostly known by Odysseus tale in The Odyssey. Circe has her own island, Aeaea. On this island she had many, many
animals. These animals actually use to be men that had offended her. In the Odyssey, she turned Odysseus's men into pigs,
since they were behaving as pigs. Her name for binding magic goes along with her specialty.

7. The Fates:
In Greek and Roman myth, there were three sister goddesses.
They were called, The Fates, Moirai, or Moerae. It is told that
these sisters had spun a person’s destiny before they were born.
It was also said they wove the destiny of the gods.
They had different names in each culture. In Greek, they were,
Clotho, (the spinner), Lachesis, (the apportioner), and Atropos,
(the inevitable). Roman culture they were, Nona, Decuma, and
Morta (Hill 14:42).

Fates_tapestry.jpg
8. The Norns:
In Nose myth, there is a bit of a different story with the
three sisters. Their names are Urd, (What once was)
Verdandi (What is coming to be), and Skuld (What shall
be). They were said to deal withWorld-tree, Yggdrasil.
According to the article by Daniel McCoy, Yggdrasil,
the great ash tree that stands at the center of the universe
and holds the nine worlds in its branches and roots.
They shape destiny carving runes into the trunk of the
tree, or, in some sagas and poems, by weaving destiny
like a web or tapestry (McCoy).

9. Going forward in time, is the next huge era for witches. The Salem
Witch Trials. This was a dark time for people, even innocent people.
There are still families trying to fight for their ancestors, who were
accused of witch craft, but innocent, and get their names cleared for
good.

Going Forward:
10. Salem Witch Trials:
The Salem Witch Trials started in the beginning of 1692. Some of the
girls in town started having fits of spasm, illusions, vomiting and choking.
The town doctor couldn’t find anything physically wrong with them, he
said it was spiritual. so the girls started to accuse women of witchcraft.
It was right after England came out of a witch craze, themselves. In
Europe, combing England, Scotland, and others, 40 to 50,000 people were
murdered. Ireland was the one place where they did not murder anyone
accused of being a witch, it was a safe place.
http://salem.lib.virginia.edu/images/people/gileslong1.jpg
12. Salem Witch Trials:
There are a few theories out there, explaining why the witchcraft broke out in
Salem. In Jess Blumberg’s article, she published, what is considered one of
the best theories out there. It was originally published in, Science, in 1976, by
a psychologist, Linnda Caporael. In this article, Caporael states the fits the
girls were having was from a fungus ergot, that is found in rye, wheat, and
other cereal grasses. According to toxicologist, eating ergot foods can cause
muscle spasms, vomiting, delusions, and hallucinations (Qtd. Blumberg).
Other theories, listed in a documentary from the history channel about the
Salem Witch Trials.

13. Salem Witch Trials:Another theory is from David Goss, executive director of Beverly Historical
Society. In the documentary video from the history channel about Salem Witch
trials he believed they were doing it for sport. They grew up in a strict society,
were in the bottom of the social scale. They became popular in the town, people
listened to them, they had a power to choose life or death for someone. They had
a great deal of fun doing it. (Goss).
Carol Karlsen, visting professor, Harvard Divinity School, also in the
documentary video, stated her son honestly believes the girls were possessed and
picked people that had been accused of witchcraft before (Karlsen). The fact of
that is, people that were high in society and a great member of the church was
accused and hung as well.
15. Moving Forward:
Modern Day Witches:
Today’s witches are mostly in movies and TV shows. There are people that
practice Wicca. Wicca deals with nature and the energy in the world. In
television there are all kind of witches. From the good witches on, Practical
Magic, to the evil witches, Wicked Witch in Oz.

16. Modern Day Witches:
Three hundred years after the Salem Witch Trials, what was know about witchcraft has
changed. Witchcraft is now a pagan religion, Wicca. (Roby 55). Of course now in
America people have the freedom of religion. Witchcraft laws was also placed, to avoid
situations, like the Salem Witch Trials.
Wicca was created in the 1940s and the 1950s. Gerald Brosseau Gardner was the one
that created the pagan religion of Wicca. Wiccans are promised to not do any harm to
anyone in their craft. Roby listed, according to the ABC News articles, the population
of Wicca is over 342,000 people. This was recorded in 2008, by then the population has
most likely increased.

17. Modern Day Witches:
Nina Bahadur did an article in the Huffington Post, how mostly woman were interested in
witchcraft. During the Salem witch trails, it was mostly woman accused. Some say it was
because they wanted independence, also it was said woman are easily convinced and not strong
in their spiritual aspect as men were. Woman, even now are not respected as they should be.
Bahadur quoted Ammo O’Day, a woman who works in a wiccan store and was raised catholic.
“’I was told I was going to hell because I’m a woman,’ said O’Day, who spent 12 years in
Catholic school.” (Qtd. Bahadur). There are plenty of men that practice witchcraft as well. Men
don’t have such a hard time with religion, society, and respect as women do. In today’s age, there
are stores for people who practice witchcraft, there is no death penalty, no law against it. It has
really changed in three hundred years. It also has changed even more from the respected goddess
thousands of years ago.
