So the trick is to have them try floating you in a large body of water and having learned to free-dive and able to hold your breath a really long time, swim for freedom! Unfortunately, women couldn’t go free in those days, they were not persons and any man could take them if they weren’t attached to a man, etc. Thank you, Suffragettes.

Actually, to all you duck people (yes I get the Monty Python reference), one of the things that judges DID do was throw an accused witch in the water. If she sank, she was innocent (but possibly drowned), and if she floated, she was guilty. Also, women who could swim were seen as suspicious. Sad, no?

I’m screwed all the way around, since I am a fifth generation witch. I have two furbabies I talk to all the time. I float but haven’t had wood in a long time, obviuosly an old witch problem. Oh well.

Blessed Be.

How ironic. Last night, my wife and I began watching the 2004 movie “The Crucible”. I’m planning on finishing it in a few minutes. I had no idea this was an anniversary event.

Very sadly accusations of witchcraft are still very prevalent in many African Nations. Some accuse Elderly men and women of being witches and drive them from villages. It is believed that they do this to end the cost of housing, feeding, etc. that person.
Also, many children are being accused of witchcraft which their parents either have to pay to “cure” or they are driven from their homes and forced to live in the streets where they often fall prey to human trafficking.
Very sad indeed.

Most Christians would agree that posing the WWJD question here would render the answer “not what was done”.

It’s sad… But witch hunts continue to this day. The West Memphis 3 were convicted and condemned with about the same amount of evidence.

That said, even as a Christian, I’ve never thought of witchcraft (or wiccanism or what-have-you) as the devil at work. Even the most pious should recognize the devil isn’t a creator, and can’t give anyone any “special powers.”
