A witch hunter handbook is a guidebook or manual intended to provide instructions and information to individuals who engage in the practice of hunting and persecuting witches. These handbooks have a long history, dating back to the medieval period, when the fear and persecution of witches reached its peak. The contents of a witch hunter handbook can vary, but they typically include information on how to identify a witch, various methods of detection, and techniques for capturing and executing suspected witches. They may also contain descriptions of witchcraft practices, spells, and charms, as well as information on the devil's pact and other alleged connections between witches and supernatural forces. Witch hunter handbooks often provide detailed instructions on the use of certain tools or implements that were believed to be effective in combating witches. These can include items such as holy water, crucifixes, consecrated salt, and various herbs and potions.
I started crying and angry about why can’t I get Bink’s sake, I just want to go away in peace. Next one was an amv titled “Get up” (one of my fav yet) and this is a piece of art. I remember watching it the first time and absolutely falling in love with it and the non stop goosebumps. The goosebumps happens almost every time I see something like that. And when the amv gets to the part where mr.2 screams “kwambare” my hair stood up and had goosebumps all over my body and for a few seconds I could breathe again and it felt like my body let out heat.
Few hours later I passed out and next thing I heard was my door bell, beyond that was my dad and a friend of him who just traveled all night to bring me back home. They were first seen in Green Bit when Robin and Usopp were exploring the forest at the northern part of the island off the coast of Dressrosa, they discovered a tribe of dwarves living on the island.
These can include items such as holy water, crucifixes, consecrated salt, and various herbs and potions. The handbooks may also include instructions for conducting rituals or prayers to ward off witches or protect oneself from their influence. In addition to practical advice, witch hunter handbooks frequently contain religious and moral arguments against witchcraft, often drawing on biblical passages and church teachings.
One piece saved my life
I lived away from my parents, alone in a different city. I just quit my job and was about to move to another and new company decided to offer me less money once I quit — naturally didn’t join.
Cut to day 1 without a job…
I was having body pains and felt shortness of breath. I knew it was covid, rapid testing came out negative and I had wait for rtpcr. The testing and the health infra was so bad in India that I couldn’t get access to medicines or to a decent doctor until I have a positive report. A week passed, fever came and went in waves.
It was a cold Tuesday evening. I was going about my wfh life as usual and I stood up to get some water and suddenly collapsed. I woke a few hours later with high fever and my breath was short and I was struggling to keep it steady.
I was sure I wouldn’t make it alone. That night my fever spiked to 103 and my body was feeling like it would burn up at any moment. I tried calling emergency services, no one attended, tried calling my neighbors, anyone who I could reach out to(there was heavy rain and the power was out). No one picked up(I couldn’t get out of my bed nor scream for help). Tried texting and I couldn’t reach anyone (no internet) By this time my breath was so short, I was barely conscious.
I wrote down all my passwords on a piece of paper as it became clear that this is the end, to go away at 24, damn
“Well, it’s time for Bink’s Sake then” I thought. Opened my video player and started my playlist.
Playlist had more than Bink’s Sake and the first thing it played was the scene where luffy was carrying nami towards the top of the mountain to help with her fever. I wished I had a friend like that. Next thing that played was “Nothing happened”, I wished someone would protect me like that.
I started crying and angry about why can’t I get Bink’s sake, I just want to go away in peace. Next one was an amv titled “Get up” (one of my fav yet) and this is a piece of art. I remember watching it the first time and absolutely falling in love with it and the non stop goosebumps. The goosebumps happens almost every time I see something like that. And when the amv gets to the part where mr.2 screams “kwambare” my hair stood up and had goosebumps all over my body and for a few seconds I could breathe again and it felt like my body let out heat.
By the end of it I decided this is not where I’ll end. I need to keep having these goosebumps and I might just live. Next on playlist was amv titled “this is one piece amv” by the end of this I was able to walk. I got ice cubes, bucket and some cloth. Next was a clip where luffy orders sogeking to burn down the flag. I was able to cool myself with the cloth wrapped in ice cubes. I could think straight at this point. Next was Bink’s sake where brook sings it while they leave Sabody and on the way to new world. I started laughing and crying at what was happening to me.
I put the clip on repeat and waited. Few hours later I passed out and next thing I heard was my door bell, beyond that was my dad and a friend of him who just traveled all night to bring me back home.
I recovered well. A lot had to go right for me to be alive and it did. Dad and his friend(who I haven’t even met at that point) took a huge risk transporting me and my mom(works in gov healthcare) used all her influence to get medicines that work. I believe I am lucky, although I made all the bad(stupid and idiotic) choices to be at that position, I was saved.
It’s been six months since all this happened and I joined a new org which compensates me well for what I do.
Looking back, it’s clear I wouldn’t have lived without One Piece.
Thank you Oda sensei and everyone who make the anime and the fans who make those incredible amvs ❤️
Happy 20th fellow pirates. Raise em Jolly Rogers and may the winds fill your sails on your path to freedom 🏴☠️
(Posting from a new acc. to keep myself anonymous)
thank you all for the responses. I think reading such a long post shows me how much everyone here loves One Piece.
And I did expect some backlash and do see some downvoting on some comments. I think it’s totally fine take to have on something like this. I believe it’s really not worth fighting over/reducing someone’s karma or even have a serious thought(if you think it’s fake).
That aside, please don’t give this any more awards, this account is going to be inactive for longer periods (I plan to read back to this once every few months — I don’t want to be reminded it too often or forget it completely — I just want to remember as it happened and what it took and what I learned — too many “I’s” in that sentence:P) and these awards/karma are more deserving somewhere else.
By the end of it I decided this is not where I’ll end. I need to keep having these goosebumps and I might just live. Next on playlist was amv titled “this is one piece amv” by the end of this I was able to walk. I got ice cubes, bucket and some cloth.

They aim to convince readers of the reality and dangers of witchcraft and encourage them to take action against supposed witches in their communities. It is worth noting that the methods and beliefs outlined in witch hunter handbooks have been widely discredited and are considered to be products of superstition, ignorance, and prejudice. The persecution of witches, fueled by the information contained in these manuals, resulted in the torture and execution of countless innocent people, usually women, throughout history. Today, witch hunters and their handbooks are largely relics of the past. Modern societies have come to recognize the harm and injustice caused by witch trials and have endeavored to promote tolerance, understanding, and respect for diverse beliefs and practices. However, the study and examination of witch hunter handbooks can provide valuable insights into the historical context and mindset that led to the witch trials and persecution..
Reviews for "Witch Hunt 101: Essential Skills and Tools for the Beginner Hunter"
1. Jane - 1-star rating
I found the "Witch Hunter Handbook" to be incredibly disappointing. The information provided was minimal and lacked any real depth. I was hoping for detailed accounts of historical witch hunts, specific techniques used by witch hunters, and maybe even some interesting stories or folklore. However, all I got was a handful of basic facts and repetitive explanations of how to identify witches. It felt like a rushed and poorly researched book that barely scratched the surface of its subject matter. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive guide on witch hunting.
2. Mark - 2-star rating
While "Witch Hunter Handbook" had some interesting content, it failed to live up to my expectations. The writing style was dry and lacked any sort of excitement, making it difficult to engage with the material. Additionally, the author seemed to rely heavily on assumptions and stereotypes, leading to a biased and one-sided perspective on witch hunting. I was hoping for a more balanced and nuanced approach to the topic, but unfortunately, this book did not deliver. While it may be informative for those completely new to the subject, for anyone with even a basic understanding of witch hunting, it falls short.
3. Sarah - 2-star rating
I was intrigued by the concept of the "Witch Hunter Handbook" but found it to be underwhelming. The book lacked a clear structure and organization, making it hard to follow along and navigate through the information. The author jumped between different time periods and geographical regions without providing enough context, which left me confused and frustrated. Additionally, the writing style was often repetitive and monotonous, making it difficult to maintain interest. Overall, I was disappointed with the lack of depth and coherence in this book, and it did not meet my expectations.
