Edit: It seem like even scientific works regularly talk about men being accused of being "wizards" in the context of witchcraft trials. Haven't been able to dig up any historic accounts about those, though, so I'm not quite sure how historic this term is. This even extends to German regions, where a man was known as "Zaubererjackl" (wizard Jackl), and I did find a couple of historic accounts that mention the word "Zauberer", and specifically "Hexen und Zauberer" (wizards and witches). permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Etterra@discuss.online 1 point 3 weeks ago (1 child) Clearly they all think this is hilarious, so who cares. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [โ] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 1 point 3 weeks ago it's not a personal attack FFS permalink fedilink source parent
