What Plants Should You Grow in Your Witch Garden?

About This Quiz

In nearly every culture, witchcraft is a practice with hundreds – if not thousands – of years of history. The Bible mentions witches. The ancient Greeks wrote of witches, both good and evil. There have been times when it was considered heretical for Christians not to believe in the existence of witchcraft, and times when it was heretical for them to believe in the existence of witchcraft. Shakespeare wrote of witches, putting his indelible stamp on the literary archetype of the witch, influencing how they are depicted to this day.

The late 20th century saw the respectability of witches become mainstream. These days, films and television shows depict witches who are not old hags and who do not spend their nights casting curses on unsuspecting heroes. With this shift, people have become more open to practicing witchcraft, and today witches live unremarkable lives, free from persecution in the West.
