I would...be the goddess of pain and suffering. Although that sounds negative, I could actually clear up a lot of junk in the world when you think about it. If I eliminated the pain of those that don't deserve it, or fix a certain life problem for someone, or a whole group of people, I could fix so much in the world. (That's just one idea, lol I can send you other ones or add more detail to this one if you'd want)
Yes it is considered divided attention
I think it was when they started the point of telling stories of the witches and what they did with the people it just started to spook them out and they feared that maybe they were honestly true. And I think at that time it really wasn't the best time to stand out and/or say/do something out of their league because they would think you were a witch.
(And we all saw Sleepy Hollow sooo) :)
