Josh said:It's very recent history but was prompted by your first post on this thread about the Salem witch trials, the one of Rebecca Nurse ...
Fast forward 332 years and you have this:
"The Iranian state has said that it plans to open a treatment clinic for women who defy the mandatory hijab laws that require women to cover their heads in public.
The opening of a “hijab removal treatment clinic” was announced by Mehri Talebi Darestani, the head of the Women and Family Department of the Tehran Headquarters for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. She said the clinic will offer “scientific and psychological treatment for hijab removal”."

(Guardian, 14th November, 2024)
and also this:
"A wave of protests broke out across Iran in September 2022 after the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, who was detained for allegedly wearing her headscarf incorrectly.
A video of Nika at a street protest, filmed days after Amini’s death, appeared to show her standing on top of a rubbish bin and setting fire to headscarves. Soon after, she reportedly went missing and her family found her body eight days later in a morgue. She was allegedly abducted, sexually assaulted and killed by the security forces."

There's been a massive uptick of harassment against women here since the election. Stay tuned as project 2025 aka Christian Nationalism hits the floor. Oh, wait, it already has.
Hundreds of hate attacks recorded in US since election

A little New Moon reading, tis the season! 🤶
If you’re going to use a blade to harvest mistletoe or any plants in life why it’s good to use a copper sickle or blade…
✨
There is definitely a meeting point between folklore and science with this issue.
✨
Lore for aeons has always stated that the plants only like to be cut with a copper blade. And not iron nor steel because it drives away the spirit from the plants. For the faeries do not like them as it repels & hurts them.
✨
The Tuatha de Dannan, the fae folk of these isles were spoken of being very close to human kind; the key thing which was different is that they did not contain an iron molecule in their blood, to make that haem molecule to allow their blood to be infused with oxygen. For it is the iron which grounds the human spirit into mortality and gives each human their own magnetic field. For the fae breathed the eternal light to sustain their spirits instead.
✨
Iron is known as a base metal, it corrodes & breaks down in the presence of oxygen over time.
Whilst copper is one of the noble metals, it is non corrosive…seen as an eternal metal.
✨
When a plant is cut with iron it quickens the tannins, excellarating plant cell death & decay. Iron & steel literally steals electrons from the plants which causes this excelleration of decay (steel is a v apt word in this case.)
✨
Whilst when a plant is cut with copper it forms an antimicrobial layer to the cut preserving the flowers and preventing rot.
✨
Iron is magnetic, copper is conductive. So, whereas iron tools disturb soil magnetism, copper assists the flow of earth energies to nourish the plants.
