Witch burning thread.
Reading on witch being burn along time ago.I had read that most of the witches who were burn was not witches to begin with.Do you think they were not or were?
It was also interesting for the unfair trails they had put these woman and I think some man through.Any thoughts on this part of history?jm
I believe not in Wicca. I challenge anyone who claims to practice Wicca to show me a magic trick. A spell, if you will. Don't curse me, just show me it is real.

Wicca sounds cool and all, but I just do not buy it.

Anyone who claims to be magic because they are Wiccan is lying or stupid. Im not Wiccan but 2 people I know are. One is a long time family friend. He has been practicing the Wiccan beliefs for lil more then 20 years now. He is no magician... there is a difference. His beliefs are more into there being a mother earth, karma, natural or organic medicine, ect.

Exactly, they are very peaceful people. Their motto is "Do no Harm."
As far as witch burning in early American history it was brought on by religious fanatics or in one case three lying girls. One way to tell if a witch was telling the truth was to tie them up and throw them in water with stones tried on them. If they lived they were guilty, if they sank they were telling the truth of not being a witch. Damned if you do and damed if you don't.

One theory is that the "witches" were actually exhibiting the symptoms of ergot poisoning. Ergot is a fungus that can grow on grains such as rye or wheat. It's the stuff they make LSD from.
Wiccans are just an older belief that the church condemed as devil worship and nothing more. But in history people that had different practices that went against the church were ALL to be of the devil. Even today. It's just not witches or wiccans it's all old religions that the church tried to wipe out. Example was Freyja. She was the goddes of love, beauty...etc. but the church turned her into a witch and her symbol of cats are now associated with the devil also.
