Definitely older and modern witches, though. Not that a girl can’t have hobbies but people burned for using herbs to help heal when men were still talking about “humours” and shit and people acting like you can curse someone’s bloodline with some crystals are two different things
The idea that women were burnt for using herbs is a Hollywood myth. Folk medicine wasnt considered as noble as the humours nonsense but it was a recognized trade and those who practiced it enjoyed a certain social status.
