BODIL, I tried to find a translation:

I 'think me' here for a list of all the Witches and also our Magicians. Perhaps many of them are here already, and then it's fine if they are linked to this project, if you want. I've already found a connection, but fortunately it is far out .... Unfortunately, I mean. ;) I wonder if it's best to deal with Norwegian or English? Thank you to all the people who help. Thank you for your introduction and list -jMu

I still do not know the meaning of some Norwegian words, so I will look for a good translation-machine on the internet. For this purpose I used:

Thanks to all the people who are helping. Thanks for the introduction and the list @ JMU-.*

It's best if we keep it in english.
jMu, I mostly use google translate. http://translate.google.com/
I have to write such Norwegian so it is possible to do a translation

Greeting Bodil

Bdil, what is the difference between a Witch and a Magician? Is it about a female or a man? It's not mentioned in the list, so is there a range of different kinds of Witches and Magician's? It's so 'leuk' to learn things about other cultures in geni, that's why I continue to work on this platform, even it's not about relatives of my own. But now I have to be careful, for I am a witch-like type with my red hairlocks and to much connexxions between my feelings & brains to be normal..... Some people call it a sensitive sense, the sixth'one? I think there are much more, for if you are creative and scientifically interested you can imagina -like a magician- there are far more senses than the ones whe learned in algebra at school. Still lots of work to do on the list, but continue to search for ones in geni, ok? groetjes, jeannette.

I should perhaps not have used the word "Magician" because that term is incorrect.
I am very easy to adopt the other's language and expressions. Yes, I would certainly have been burned if I had lived in these hard times .. I am very sure there ... : D

Perhaps I've always been curious of our historical witches. In Norway, the period is known as "the dark side of history"

But back to the word "Magician". That is a person who performs magic, and in this context is wrong. Our witches have more synonyms that are good.

"wise woman" "midwife" "healer" These concepts are often cross-gender, but there were many more women than men who were killed for their deeds.
You're absolutely right about that is linked to a so-called extra sense, the six sense.
Do you have stories, historical events etc so it is great to have this on Geni.

I looked for my great grandma's family, my mother had asked about her, had told about her and something of the things she said was that she could do more than "do the Lord's Prayer"
So I was surfing sites to look for her family, and going quite diretkte to Elisabeth Pedersdatter Nypan. I looked for names, and it had nothing to do with witchcraft. I am not direct related to her, but it is a four-color connection between us, fun.
:) Bodil

I am very fond of knitting, and I now know that the first known knitting person from Norway, was burned alive on a pole. Elisabeth Pedersdatter Nypan.
...That was too much for the important men, they did not understand that kind of new thinking ....

my mother was official Dealer in the Hague for the Swiss PASSAP knitting-machines and sold a lot of them in the Netherlands. She was really awsome with the technique and a very lot of also not-dutch did learn how to make the most beautiful pullovers and other creative things on these machines. She even was learning how to add computers on the machine and it was really a loss when she died of an accident in 1997.

I can't think of any modern English words that are good/accurate synonyms for a male witch.
With 'magician', I think of an illusionist - somebody that does magic tricks.
With 'wizard', I think of Harry Potter or Lord-of-the-Rings' Gandolf, not with a real person who practices witchcraft.
'Sorcerer' and 'Warlock' are a little better than Wizard, but I still picture something from a storybook, not a real person.
A 'Witch' could be a male, but usually a female comes to mind.
For the English translation of this project's name, I think the current 'Norwegian Witches' is best.

Isn't using English etc on a Norwegian project way out of line?

Private User witches is not just an norwegian phenomena and Bodil and I were trying to find out what was the difference between our idea about it and what was researched in norway. How can we communicate if we can not use common language? Never saw elsewhere that people were obliged only to use one language, is that a norwegian geni-rule?

Bodil K-Hansen I'm very sorry that it is not possible to work with you any longer about this subject. I was very interested because I've been told that in my ancestry the sixth sense as we call it was present in some females, but ofcourse not everybody thought is real.

"English etc", Bjørn, could you explain what you mean by *etc* in your comment?

The title of this project is bi-lingual, no?

"Noen Hekser og Trollmenn fra Norge her? ~ Any witches and wizards from Norway here?"

And the subject of this discussion is "Hekser i Norge / Norwegian Witches" and starts with a sentence in English. How could using any other language but Norsk be considered inappropriée?

Perhaps it is my fault that the issue has come up. When I made the Project I had no idea about how and what language. This is my FIRST.
I think that the introduction and ideas about the search can be in both languages​​, One thing we must not forget is that all of us descendants of these so-called witches will be spread out all over Mother Earth.

About the discussions, Perhaps is a good idea to have some in Norwegian, and some in English.
About the term heks/trollmann, I have nooo idea, but I can see in the google translate... :D

It's all coming back "The Billy Goats Gruff" great story I even had a spoon engraved with the bridge and the goats .....long long ago....ttfn

you might have to remember,that the people mentioned in the project are not fiktive.

they have lived,and have been judged by the law of there time.

so no fiktive or fake storys there,only the real and hard facts from the past.

I read in the newspaper that a Saudi Arabian woman had been beheaded for witchcraft - today! TODAY!
Yes, all these men and women are real people who once lived.

You might be related to them?

But I will still ask about our fairytales has some reflection in reality?
The stories were written from the early 1800's and beyond, based on legends and told stories.

Here is an article about 'witchcraft and sorcery' in Saudi Arabia.

Then again, torture and solitary confinement versus beheading, not sure which is worse! http://www.geni.com/documents/view/project-10648?doc_id=60000000157...

It's like choosing between pestilence and cholera,,,,,.

Hi Bodil, do you mind if I start 'marking' those special women in our common history with a sparkling ☆ star? If not, I can easily use a ...(toverstokje) to wipe them out, ok? Like a teacher who doesn't like what student write on the .. (schoolbord) while she's taking a breath. :-)
