Witchcraft

In the novel Stones, there have been several references to witches. Hannah was referred to as "Haiti witch", not eighty wish, by the stoning mob. Raphaella was also called a witch by that same group. One of the ideas we are offered in this novel is that there is often a lot of misunderstanding of those who some people call witches. Go to the link below and watch the documentary entitled Witchcraft and Magic: Witchcraft. Hopefully, this will help us educate ourselves about this topic.
