We grew up, and fears, and sometimes even enthusiasm, remained. Lovely beauties from advertising sites promise us, like witches in the 7th knee, to help remove damage and the evil eye, a wreath of celibacy and bad karma, to clean financial channels and ... deceive us in the most godless way. Or we ourselves are deceived. But still, why does a person of a high-tech era still believe in the powers of witches, their special charms and abilities? How did it happen that despite the bonfires of the Inquisition and the recommendations of the “Hammer of the Witches”, they (the witches) are still with us?
