Setting
"Good morning class! My name is Professor Jane and I am your History teacher. Here are your books, Our Journey To Modern Witchcraft, by Aza Z. Allly. This book contains everything you need to know about our history. Now, shall we get started?"
The class stared at her, groggy from the lack of sleep they all experienced.
"Okay then! Today we are going to be learning the very basics. What is a witch? I can definitely tell you that they aren't the wart nosed women you see on the cover of every fairy tale, nor are they the scary old ladies who live down the street. Now can anyone answer this for me, where did witchcraft begin?"
A small brown-haired, mousy boy raised his hand. "The planet Earth. Is it true that they are scared of witches now?"
"Yes, the planet Earth but unfortunately you are correct about them being scared of us now. The people who practiced this religion brought it here to save it from being burned to the ground...quite literally. Now something we all need to learn are the roots words.
Wic- means 'wise' and 'to bend and shape', for we are the wise ones who can bend time and energies to reach our specific needs."
"Now, can anyone tell me what the origin of the word 'witch' comes from?" Professor Jane looked around the room, impressed that there was a hand in the air. She figured she could stump them with this one. "Yes..?"
"Scarlet Grace, Professor. It is originated from the Anglo-Saxon traditions."
"Precisely! Now I think this is all the time we have for this lesson. The next class we are going to focus on the very beginning of witchcraft on planet Earth. Here are the homework questions..."
