It's no secret that today is Joan of Arc's birthday. Joan is the first female military in France. Joan is a saint. But first she was hailed as "heroine" for saving million of lives in the longest battle with their enemies. Joan was born in France on January 6, 1412 although she is a warrior and a saint still she was not able to stop the execution of her death ( May 30, 1431). Joan was a visionary with E.S.P. but her special gift was extraordinary and unknown that time in her generation that the skeptics regarded her as "witch" instead of being a saint or gifted. And you know what the French and the ancient people do with the witch and sorcerers in her time? They tied them on the pole and surrounded the victims with piles of firewood and set the suspected witch or witches on fire... and that's what happened to Joan. Tragic death lead to many miraculous occurrence and circumstances that Joan of Arc was actually a Saint devoted to one and only God and her religious visions are attributed to her devotion and honorable faith.
Do we have Joans in our time? There are probably many witches and sorcerers in our time but who cares? We can only see them on Halloween wearing costumes. It's a fun-filled celebrations of a different tradition of the Golden Harvest. It's a childrens' festival other than that it's nothing sort of fairy tales but you know some ghouls and goblins bad and notorious making lives miserable for the good and righteous causing so much troubles for mankind.
I don't care if you are a witch for as long as your magic is good not bad who are we to stop magic from its mysterious sleight of hand passing the cup to the righteous?
Medicine can be attributed to the power of witches and sorcerers long time ago. It is their creative thinking, hardworking hands and concoction that lead to the creation of wines, gin, alcoholic beverages, ethyl alcohol, sulfur ointment, antibiotic, and many pharmaceutical drugs, cough syrup and medicines. In our time, these "witches" are known as pharmacists. Hard to believe? To see is to believe.
