From Olga Gromyko’s audiobook “Profession: a Witch,” we learn firsthand how difficult the lot of a witch truly is. Every profession has its drawbacks and downsides, but witches suffer more than the rest. Fate throws her now into a cave with dragons, now into a valley with vampires; she also has to deal with werewolves and competitors just to stay afloat and get a better job. Local residents are afraid of women involved in magic, the royal authorities raise taxes, and priests tirelessly fight against “unclean things,” which are only trying to make the world a little kinder.
