This article was inspired by a close connection of mine who has had their career placed in jeopardy because of their unique personality and a mixture of toxic behaviors within their team. Although they have not given me permission to release details, they welcomed a piece that highlights what to do instead of what not to do and the importance of understanding neurodiversity within corporate cultures.
When you have a neurodiverse professional in a leadership position, training, awareness and culture become a critical part of creating a safe space for teams to learn and grow.

10th August: World Day against Witch Hunts
10th August is a Wednesday this year – not any particularly special day, at first glance. It is the Catholic feast day of the saints Astrid, Eric, Lawrence and Tiburtius, all martyrs. Calendar events can also be found for this day: the opening of the Natural History Museum in Vienna (1889); the entry of the spacecraft Magellan into Venus’ orbit (1990); the introduction of a second football league for the 1974 football season.
The Dutch physician and feminist Aletta Jacobs also died on 10th August (1929). Her observations and experiences made her a champion of a woman’s right to herself decide on the number of children she has. “During my hospital work, I became an eyewitness to the catastrophic effects that frequent pregnancies can have on a woman’s life. In long conversations, many patients have made it clear to me that they cannot prevent further pregnancies if sexual abstinence is their only option for contraception. I have spent days looking for solutions.” For this, she was bullied, persecuted and threatened, but those same critics came to her in secret to be instructed in the methods of family planning. Calvinist priests thundered against contraception from the pulpit, but brought their wives to Jacob’s practice.
We have not yet got past the belief in witches
Roughly 100 years later, on 10th August 2020, the World Day against Witch Hunts was introduced because women in 41 countries around the globe, mostly in Africa, Oceania and Latin America, still get accused of witchcraft and are captured, tortured, and even burned and killed.
One feels as though one has been taken back to the times of the book Hammer of Witches, published in 1486 by the German Dominican, theologian and inquisitor Heinrich Kramer. For example, when it states:
“that in various ways midwife sorceresses kill the fetuses in the womb and cause miscarriages, and when they do not do this, they offer the new-borns to demons” (The Hammer of Witches, translated by Christopher Mackay, Cambridge 2009, p. 211).
Or: “… as penitent sorceresses have often related to us and to others, saying, ‘No one harms the Catholic faith more than do midwives.’ In instances where they do not kill children, they take the baby out of the room as if to do something, and raising them up in the air they offer them to the demons.” (ibid., p. 212) “For the Devil knows that such children are excluded from entering the Kingdom of Heaven because of the penalty of loss or original sin.” (ibid., p. 368)
Two years earlier, on 5th December 1484, Pope Innocent VIII had signed his papal bull on witchcraft, Summis desiderantes affectibus, to bar contraception. He opposed “many persons … [who,] by their incantations, charms, and conjurings, … cause to perish the offspring of women … and hinder men from begetting and women from conceiving, and prevent all consummation of marriage …” (Translation from George Lincoln Burr, The Witch Persecutions (1907) cited in: Alan Charles Kors and Edward Peters, Witchcraft in Europe, 400–1700: A Documentary History, 2nd ed. (Philadelphia 2001), 177–180).
The reason for declaring this day of remembrance was the martyrdom of a woman from Papua New Guinea, who, on 10th August 2012, was accused of being a “witch” by residents of her village and was tortured for days. She survived the severe mistreatment, was able to escape, and was brought to safety with the help of the Swiss nun Sister Lorena Jenal. In order to draw attention to the devastating consequences of witch hunts, to connect experts and to pool initiatives, the International Catholic Mission Society missio (Internationales Katholisches Missionswerk missio) chose this day to be World Day against Witch Hunts.

And because fascistic rhetoric is remarkably good with shorthand, it’s also suggesting that to do that would in turn actually be a witch hunt.
A tranquil spa and wellness center is also available for residents to unwind and relax after a long day. For those who enjoy socializing, there are numerous community spaces within the complex, including a clubhouse with a lounge area, a billiards room, and a library. Residents can host gatherings and events in the well-appointed party hall or enjoy a swim in the sparkling swimming pool. Children have their own dedicated play area, ensuring that every member of the family has something to enjoy. Security is a top priority at The Mystic Spell Apartments, with 24-hour CCTV surveillance and trained security personnel stationed at all entry points. The complex also offers ample parking space for residents and their guests. In conclusion, The Mystic Spell Apartments is a one-of-a-kind residential complex that combines modern comforts with an air of mystique. With its luxurious amenities and attention to detail, it offers a truly enchanting living experience. This is an ideal choice for those who seek a unique and luxurious lifestyle in the heart of the city..
Reviews for "Embrace the Mystique of The Mystic Spell Apartments"
1. John - 1 star - The Mystic Spell Apartments was a complete disappointment. The room we stayed in was old and musty, with stained carpets and outdated furniture. The bathroom was dirty with mold growing in the corners. The staff did not seem attentive or interested in addressing our concerns. The location was also far from any attractions or restaurants, making it inconvenient to find something to do or eat. Overall, I would not recommend The Mystic Spell Apartments to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
2. Emily - 2 stars - I was not impressed with The Mystic Spell Apartments. The room was small and cramped, with very little space to move around. The walls were thin, and we could hear our neighbors' every conversation. The Wi-Fi was slow and unreliable, making it difficult to do any work or browse the internet. The amenities promised were lacking, and the building itself felt rundown. The only saving grace was the friendly front desk staff, but that wasn't enough to overcome the negative aspects of our stay. I would suggest looking elsewhere for accommodations.
3. Sarah - 1 star - The Mystic Spell Apartments was a nightmare. Our room was infested with bugs, and no matter how many times we complained to the staff, they did nothing to resolve the issue. The cleanliness was a major problem, with dirty linens and dusty surfaces. The noise from the neighboring rooms and outside traffic was constant, making it impossible to get a decent night's sleep. The overall atmosphere was unpleasant and uncomfortable. I highly recommend avoiding The Mystic Spell Apartments if you value your sanity and cleanliness.
4. Michael - 2 stars - The experience at The Mystic Spell Apartments left much to be desired. The room we were given had a strange odor that lingered throughout our stay, despite numerous attempts to air it out. The furniture was worn and uncomfortable, and the bathroom was in desperate need of renovations. The location was not convenient, and transportation options were limited. The staff was slow to respond to our requests, and the overall level of service was lacking. I won't be returning to The Mystic Spell Apartments in the future.
