Witchcraft only made legal in 1951.

[thirdwave]

In the UK you could actually be prosecuted for being a Witch up until 1951!
I have read a few things about this and find it quite interesting.. of course it was only made legal when declared as simply entertainment... Job done I guess!


There continued to be occasional prosecutions under the Witchcraft Act in 19th- and 20th-century Britain. The most well-remembered is that of the medium Helen Duncan in 1944. Supposedly the authorities feared that by her alleged clairvoyant powers she could betray details of the D-Day preparations, but the accusations in court centred round defrauding the public.

She spent nine months in prison. The last conviction under the act was that of Jane Rebecca Yorke. The Act was repealed in 1951 and replaced with the Fraudulent Mediums Act 1951. This act prohibited a person from claiming to be a psychic, medium, or other spiritualist while attempting to deceive and to make money from the deception (other than solely for the purpose of entertainment).

I knew it was only quite a recent thing. I guess the old guard dont like anything that challenges their established slave religion.

well many here seem to think this kind of thing is meant to be what the elite want man kind to do... and to bring it in as the one world religion...

makes you wonder why they made it illegal for so long...

Evil goddamn witches! :mad:

:eek:

Sorry...I mean: "Yes! Woo! Emancipation at last!"

I'm confused: good...bad...good...bad? :(

Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk! :D

Seriously though folks:

Why 1951? Since this was made legal by people who actively practice the occult arts themselves, there must have been a reason why they chose 1951.

Any ideas?

magick is very real and very effective if done right.... if the elite use it, gain power from it.. so on.

Why would they want you or me to know about it?, they would want us ignorant to it, or at least very bad at it.

in the past the elite have very clearly promoted religion, one can argue the accuracy in what they pushed as truth but none the less, it was still a dogma they taught people to believe... those who saw people outside of that beliefs who practised alternative stuff was deemed a pagan... (witch)

of course the word pagan pretty much means people who were outside of the Romans religious bracket..

the Romans had the knowledge... they created a story to keep others from understanding the nature of that knowledge... and they killed or urged other to kill those who benefited from any other spiritual practice..

it was banned.. outlawed... in the UK at least..

it was only changed when it was understood that it had to be rated as Entertainment.. and was not real...

I guess even today should anyone be proven to be a real clairvoyant .. or do rituals that actually work... they would be braking the law in the UK... Something I wana look into..
