The Witch That Never Was

In this spiritual story, I share a symbolic tale about a classroom game where fear, suspicion, and uncertainty begin to divide people who were never truly enemies.
This story reflects how powerful fear can be, how quickly it can separate people, and how much damage can happen when we believe in a threat that was never really there. Take what resonates, stay grounded, and allow yourself to reflect on where fear may be creating distance in life.

This story of the witch that never was. Find a comfortable position while you listen to this story. Easy story starts! By a young girl that comes home from school unset. Mom! You'll never believe what happened in history class today! Apparently, Her teacher told the class they were going to play a game. She walked around the classroom and whispered to each child whether they were a witch or just a normal person. Then she gave instructions. Form the largest group you can without a winch. If there is even one witch in your group, You all fail. She said that the whole class immediately became filled with mistrust. Everyone! Began questioning each other. Are you a witch? How do we know you're not lying? Some children stayed in one large group. But most split into smaller, More exclusive groups. They rejected anyone who seemed unsure or nervous. Or who showed the slightest sign of guilt. The energy changes quickly. Suddenly, Everyone was a species of everyone else. Whispers, Pointing fingers, Suspicious looks, Trust completely disappeared in a matter of minutes. When all the groups were finally formed, The teacher said. Ok, It's time to find out who failed. Witches, Raise your hands! A no-hands win-up. The whole class burst out laughing. Wait! You ruined the game! Then the teacher dropped the bomb. Really? Were there really witches in Salem? Or did everyone just believe what they were told? The little girl said the whole class fell silent. Then they understood. No witch was needed to cause harm. Fear had already done its job. Yasmi's trust had divided the whole class and thrown the community into chaos. And isn't that exactly what we see today? Different words, Same game! Instead of witch, Now it's liberal. Conservative Left-wing Right-wing Conspiracy theorists. Sheeple. Vaccinated, Unvaccinated. Pro this, Anti that. The labels change, But the tactic is the same. Instill fear, Sow mistrust. Devi. Then sit back and watch as trust collapses. The danger was never the witch. The danger is the rumor. The mistrust. The fear. The lies that are spread. Reject the whisper. Don't play the game. Because the moment we go out hunting for witches, We've already lost. I hope you enjoyed this story with your daily dose of light with Fernando Albert.
