Whispering is a term used interchangeably with the term "spell-casting."
Murmuring, muttering, or whispering charms, prayers, incantations, blessings, or curses are all traditional spell-casting methods.
However, the usage of this term ultimately led to harmful stereotyping:
- Any woman seen mumbling or talking to herself, particularly if she was old, raggedy, or aggressive, was accused of witchcraft.
