The origins of witchcraft are early human efforts to deal with women’s mysteries, particularly the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and childbirth. We can’t be certain when witchcraft first started, although it probably started around the same time that pre-humans mastered fire (around 400,000 years ago).

The oldest evidence of witchcraft is a piece of whalebone from 106,000 years ago that has a crude calendar marking the phases of the moon and a woman’s menstrual cycle. See & hear her M Song Calendar:

Early witchcraft combined magick ritual with herbal preparations, built on millenia of lore passed down through generations of wise women.

As one example, consider the use of the rose. Modern science has revealed that the rose hip (the sweet part at the center of a rose) has the highest concentration of iron of any plant (it is also an excellent source of vitamin C). A woman loses a lot of iron during her period, and a natural supplement of iron has obvious positive benefits. Additionally, there are a few dozen minor trace ingredients in rose hips, many of which help stabilize a woman’s emotions and moods while on her period.
