The suspected witch was subjected to \"the trial by red-hot iron\". This procedure required the accused person to take an iron from a furnace and carry it for three paces. Their hand would be bound for three days and then the wound would be inspected. They were declared innocent if the wound had healed cleanly, but condemned if it was found to be weeping or discoloured.

We do not need to look far for examples. The ability to read is a good illustration. For the great majority of western people, the habit of literacy makes it impossible to scan the shelves of a newsagent's shop without noticing the titles of magazines. When we walk down the high street, we recognise the words on posters and shop-window displays without even trying to do so. These actions are automatic; they feel as natural as breathing. But reading is an acquired skill that can only be mastered through years of practice. Moreover, mass literacy is a comparatively recent phenomenon: only a fraction of the European population could read in the fifteenth century.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Darren Oldridge" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/darren-oldridge/our-own-lives-are-filled-with-experiences-and-beliefs-that-are/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/98e/darren-oldridge-111293_faith_our-own-lives-are-filled-with-experience_3106188.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/98e/darren-oldridge-111293_faith_our-own-lives-are-filled-with-experience_3106188.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/98e/darren-oldridge-111293_faith_our-own-lives-are-filled-with-experience_3106188.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Our own lives are filled with experiences and beliefs that are peculiar to our culture, and would seem…” — Darren Oldridge", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/darren-oldridge/#person", "name": "Darren Oldridge", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/darren-oldridge/", "image": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wp-content/uploads/sms4s/authors/processed/b028/author-darren-oldridge-111293.jpg", "description": "historian born 1966..." }, { "@type": "ProfilePage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/darren-oldridge/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/darren-oldridge/", "name": "Darren Oldridge", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/darren-oldridge/#person" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/697/darren-oldridge-111293_quote_instead-of-relying-on-human-judgment-to_1641355.jpg" }, "description": "historian born 1966...
