(Three Messages From No Witchcraft For Sale)

Witchcraft, oh the thing that everyone hates and accused so many people of, and killed them because they accused them of it. Witchcraft is the practice of magic, especially black magic; the use of spells and the invocation of spirits (https://www.google.com/webhp?tab=ow&authuser=0&ei=aRlrVpux

All throughout history, we hear about how whites ruled over blacks, how they were slaves and they were abused and all, but it wasn’t always that way. Before whites ever went to Africa or anywhere, they lived in distant harmony where blacks were free and whites never ruled over anyone. When they sailed though that's when things went bad whites thought that blacks or anyone that wasn't white needed their help and be “proper” and not “savage”. Ever since then whites always felt that they were always superior over everyone, especially since they were a different color from them, they taught their children, who then taught their children, that everyone who isn’t white is a “disgusting vile creature” and must be treated as such. White “superiority” has been through history a long time they are in history books, documents, and is still active today for most white because they still believe that whites are better than any other race on this planet.

Course, the question is why do you think that Gideon doesn’t share the information about the root, and to answer that question is because it’s like it’s apart of his family recipe from a long, long family line who first created the recipe. To him it would be like a betrayal to his long line of ancestry that created that recipe and have attempted to only keep in the family line, course, things don’t always go as planned even later on in generations. It’s considered betrayal and rude to give out things that are suppose to stay in the family, even to your masters and baas’ it would still be considered betrayal and many people just don’t understand that. Many whites back in the day didn’t understand why many of their black servants wouldn’t share anything about herbs or medicines that helped cure them or someone in there family or neighborhood. They didn’t understand, the Farquars, on why their servant Gideon wasn’t giving out the information about the root and where it could be found, they didn’t understand that not everything is about
