Warlocks are born from demons and Witches, usually from rape or deceit, from demons, disguised as humans or a human s loved one or an object of sexual desire. Warlocks themselves, as a caveat of their demonic ancestry, are likewise unable to be heard by these divinities as they cannot invoke prayer without their mouths literally burning from the effort - causing them to rely only on their innate powers for salvation.
This makes it an excellent tool for labeling items or leaving notes on surfaces. The tape can be written on using a variety of writing instruments such as pens, pencils, or markers. It provides a smooth writing surface, ensuring that the ink or pencil markings do not smudge or fade.
Witches in History
Located in a dark room within Second Sight: Witchcraft, Ritual, Power are three small prints. They are easy to overlook. Monochromatic and diminutive in size, they are not as attention-grabbing as some of the much bolder images on display. But I would urge viewers to look for these prints, as they are responsible for establishing some of the most important imagery that we still associate with witches and hold the key to understanding Second Sight.

For most people today, witches are the stuff of Halloween or Disney. But only 300 years ago, witchcraft was a crime punishable by death. During the early modern period (1450–1750), 45 000 women and men were executed in Western Europe under legislation specifically against witchcraft. Another 45 000 were tried but not convicted. In the eyes of the law, and in much of society, witches were people who had made a pact with the Devil and who had then used their newfound demonic powers to harm their neighbours. Witches were most often believed to be women, frequently elderly, poor, widowed or childless. They were accused of killing children, making men impotent, ruining crops, causing storms and shipwrecks, attending the sabbath, and working together to cause evil and discord. Of course, most of these accusations were only true in the minds of accusers, but that didn’t stop the vast majority of men and women from believing in witchcraft.
But where did these ideas come from? Although witches were believed to exist in medieval Europe, it wasn’t until the fifteenth century that the idea of witchcraft as a diabolical crime rose to prominence. Key texts were influential in establishing this concept, such as Heinrich Kramer’s notorious Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of Witches) of 1486 and a number of lesser known texts from the 1430s. But one of the main ways in which ideas of witchcraft circulated was through visual culture. In Second Sight, we are lucky enough to have three early visual depictions of witchcraft: Albrecht Dürer’s Witch Riding Backwards on a Goat (1501–1502); Hans Baldung Grien’s The Bewitched Groom (1544); and Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione’s Circe with Companions of Ulysses Turned into Animals (1650–1651).
All of these works feature aspects of the now stereotypical witch. For example, Dürer’s witch is depicted as a strong, muscled figure who looks wholly in charge while riding the goat. Her position riding backwards shows the inverse and unnatural role of witches in the world. Similarly, her hair flows in the opposite direction than it should, highlighting that she is outside nature. She is both physically repellent through her masculine body but also strongly sexualised. The distaff (a feminine object used to spin wool or flax) placed prominently between her legs, her long hair and open mouth (all signifying lust), and her suggestive grasping of the goat’s horn all associate her with transgression and sexual desire. Fifteenth- and sixteenth-century treatises on witches associated them with deviant sexuality, with many authors describing the unnatural orgies in which witches were believed to partake. At the sabbath, witches were believed to engage in supposedly unnatural sexual acts with the Devil, with other witches, and even with their own children. This concept of the lustful witch is also visible in Grien’s The Bewitched Groom; although the witch is off to the side, her exposed breast is visible to all. Grien’s work also highlights anxieties about sexuality. Central to the piece is the bewitched groom’s prominent codpiece; this motif is echoed by the horse’s uncovered genitals, revealed through a brief movement of its tail. Although the witch is not central, it is clear that her presence is tied to dangerous sexuality.
Although warlocks do exercise free will and are capable of remorse and compassion, all are driven in some form - be it subtle or overt - to indulge in the more sinister elements of their deul natures; often forming covens of their own which center on shady activities or using their gifts to manipulate others to their advantage. This has made warlocks a truly unpredictable and often untrustworthy faction within the arcane world, with some of the most influential practitioners of black magic being of this race.

Reviews for "Scotch Magic Tape: The Essential Tool for Crafters and DIYers"
1. Sarah - ★☆☆☆☆
I purchased the Scotch magic tape 12 rollz and I am completely disappointed with its quality. The tape is so thin that it tears easily, making it practically useless for any serious tasks. Additionally, the adhesive is not strong enough to hold anything securely, so my papers keep falling apart. I would not recommend this tape to anyone who needs reliable and sturdy adhesive.
2. John - ★☆☆☆☆
I have always trusted Scotch products, but the Scotch magic tape 12 rollz sadly didn't live up to my expectations. The tape dispenser is poorly designed and often gets tangled, causing unnecessary frustration. Moreover, the tape itself has a strange smell that permeates the entire room, which is unpleasant when using it for an extended period of time. Overall, I found this tape to be of subpar quality compared to other brands available in the market.
3. Emily - ★★☆☆☆
While the Scotch magic tape 12 rollz does get the job done, I found it to be quite expensive for what it offers. The tape is not as clear as advertised, and it leaves a noticeable yellowish tint on light-colored papers. Moreover, the roll size is smaller compared to other brands, so I had to replace it more frequently. Considering the price and the substandard quality, I believe there are better options available for tape.
4. Michael - ★★☆☆☆
I was disappointed with the Scotch magic tape 12 rollz as it didn't adhere well to various surfaces. The tape easily peeled off after a short period of time, which was frustrating when trying to secure important documents. Additionally, the rolls didn't last long as they seemed shorter than anticipated. I had to constantly change the rolls, which became a hassle. I would recommend exploring other tape options before settling for this one.
