Have you actually read this?
In context to the time?
Its before and leading upto the 1688 Bill of Rights...
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendle_witchesWe have this happening in Europe..
They are not only prosecuting suspected witches.. as late as the early 1600s...
But some Catholics as well, when abbey's were closed down...
By 1688 the King was wanting all the Subjects to follow him as leader of the church (made by law ... not granted by the pope, or passed by supernatural Ancient ancestors) clearly..
The kings wanted devotion from the Subjects as their king and holy figure also...
They make it law that the Subjects can Petition the king with protection from prosecution..
After a bad run of executions, witch hunts and prosecutions..
These conditions are important..
Because anyone who studies Anthropology and psychedelics and that area of study, knows that Subjects are thoughts and ideas..
And everyone as a human has individual will, ideas and thoughts projected...
Its impossible to stop because like a light switch... a human is always "ON" and cannot be turned off.. while alive..
So a persons consciousness is always "on" and its will is always interacting with the other subjects and obviously the king.
Witchcraft was thought to be misuse of forces for evil.
I think that it was lack of understanding of natural principles..
We have the contact with the Americans as well remember and a renaissance of ancient shamanism by a re connection..
I think that the ease at which we were able to infiltrate the Americas.. by the will of the White Man and his ideas...
I think they realised that it wasn't witchcraft on purpose.. it was more prominent that clearly it was a natural constant..
Therefore... on returning to England and with some debate.. in parliament and with the king... I think it was decided that everyone has a right to their own will and ideas ... life.. and effects those project.. that are really not possible to stop..
We can't all walk around with metal helmets over our heads.. so stop talking and brainwaves.. and observations..
Metal knights helmets were of the 1200s and chivalry..
I'm not saying the Ancient Celts and then the Roman Catholics didn't understand these things.. but Europe was more mixed and diverse still... then..
The Roman's wanted to simplify everything and write it all down so that the basic principles were worked out.
This would in theory save a lot of shitting and puking and "unusual experiences" and also there needed to be some control and standardization.
That's what the religious battle was over.
Obviously and authority..
Then.. while the churches are having disagreements.. the Americans also plays a part with very impressionable entire continent... which must have been a surprising endeavor as opposed to the European "par" of all being more evenly matched.
Obviously I haven't figured the African people into this, because we don't hear too much about them in relation to the medieval period in England because most of the slavery was in those other countries..
The Gunderstrup cauldron (if legitimate) shows humans from Africa or places where large cats and elephants life.. as wild hunters and meat eaters that are portrayed as in need of taming... I think it's a gesture they are evolved more towards meat eating animals..
You have to understand that the English are very competitive amongst each other therefore...
And as few people had money, education or were free... unless in the countryside..
The rights were really only of use to those who learned about them..
But it was clear that everyone had the right.... should they choose to use it.
This is only a very crude gloss over a lot of complex things...
But the fact the Bill of Rights talks about evil Judges and Ministers... I think the mass witchcraft era and prosecution boiled over and they realised that people needed to be protected from being prosecuted just because of their individual beliefs and thoughts... and also complaints..
And that the government had to be accountable for reckless misuse of the law.
You need to know history, religion and geography really to get a good timeframe screenshot..
Obviously lots of prior knowledge to the Roman Empire era was lost and not written down.. we have scholars of varied levels of understanding.. and all records aren't honest or accurate..
But it's easy to get the gist of it.
We now face threat of global take over by corporate companies who are after money and material excess and have us all under full time employment making and consuming their products..
The police and government are also hearding us as cash cows and competition for power.. by using law and fines to make life difficult for us... and make shure nobody does "too good" unless it's for benefit or profit or power of the government..
And the majority of people can't keep their vagina and willy under control.. and like to make a point out of it in defiance by banging out extras just to give the finger... then drop a shit load of litter..
The government cannot carry on if the buisness just halts as its dependant on it.. so refuses to just stop and pull the plug.
And we have little fat smug rolly polly women holding the que up in KFC because they are waddling in for 3 large bucket meals, cookies and the ice cream drink.
And people were executed for witchcraft?!
It could be time to put the dragons den buisness gur before the court...
And not to let the court try their cookies.
