    Most people know of witches from the movies. Horror films with evil, cackling old women dressed in black, mixing potions and lotions and bringing doom to her victims. 
     
    The truth is in fact, as normal, far from the Hollywood version. Most of this false reality comes from religious intolerance over the centuries. Witchcraft was a threat to established religion and can be dated right back into the Bible itself. 
     
    Church propaganda spread stories and fear among the masses. This in turn brought down violence upon those practising witchcraft. Hounded out of town, victimised or even burned alive or drowned, the role of those practising the old arts was not one to be jealous of. If there was any true horror, then it was for the witches themselves. 
     
    Their craft is as old as history and it holds a great many truths, both natural and psychological. It finds it’s origins in ancient techniques of natural healing and a uniting of the natural world with that of humanity. Many of the discoveries made by witches are now common practice in homeopathy. 
     
    So what is the real truth? Did witches deal with the devil? Did they eat their victims? Did they mix their special brews in big black cauldrons? It’s time to find out.

    The earliest history of Babylon is little known. Among the many cities flourishing in southern Iraq, the town first appears in texts in the third millennium BC. Until the last century of the third millennium, few references existed to Babylon; however, offerings made to the temple of Enlil in Nippur during this period (when Babylon was part of an empire ruled by Ur) suggest a city already of some size and wealth. From relative obscurity in the middle of the 18th century BC, Babylon emerged as the political center of southern Mesopotamia. It held this position almost continuously for the next 1,400 years. 
    Near Baghdad, around 85 kilometers south of the Euphrates, is the site of Babylon. The area is located north of the great alluvial plain of southern Iraq, a landscape of silts deposited by the Tigris and Euphrates into a vast rift created by tectonic movement as the Arabian plate slips beneath the neighboring Eurasian plate. In addition to defining modern-day Iraq's northern and eastern boundaries, the Taurus and Zagros mountain ranges were created by the same collision. As a result, Mesopotamia encompasses several environmental zones, but Babylon itself is found in the flat alluvial plain in southern Iraq.
