If the history of the Earth were compressed down to a year, our species would arise in the last thirty minutes or so of the final hour. But life itself is not such a late arrival: It has existed on Earth for something like 3.7 billion years—most of our planet’s history and over a quarter of the age of the universe (as far as we can tell).

Witchcraft here is not superstition but a sacred inheritance, carried by the marginalized and kept alive through an unbroken thread of devotion.
