OCC - didnt know where to put this as you dont have a general

Witchcraft

Witchs/pagans/ Droids etc have around since the early 1200s but this is when the first witch ever was trialed Agnes, wife of ode¡¨ she was tested carrying a red hot iron bar and Was later freed. But only because this is the first recoglection of trials does not mean that the craft was not being conducted and it certainly does not mean that illegal trials were not taking place.
The year progressed and many people were burned after being prosecuted even young children were being slaughtered if there parents were said to be witches etc although childrens cases were very rare there still is a few.

For one example July 1716 Mary Hicks and her daughter Elizabeth hicks (aged 9) were executed for witchcraft at Huntingdon.

The list goes on some people you should recognise one

Mary ¡V queen of scots 1541 - 1587 did not as was once thought agree to supporters attempting to kill her rival Elizabeth by witchcraft. Mary then made witchcraft a capital offence in Scotland (1562 repeated 1736) her son was also a stong opponent of witchcraft.

Also

Merlin of the matter of Britain ¡V was the legendary magician of the king arther stories (we all know them) But in wales we actually recognised two merlins, Myrddin Emrys (merlin ambrosius who managed to persuade Aurelius to bring Stonehenge from ireland and used magick to enforce that. The other merlin is Myrddin Wyllt Who after the battle of Aderydd in 573AD retired to the wood

1551 is the last case of a prosecution that I can see and from what I have studied and basically Christina Wilson ¡V Was convicted and executed as a witch (dailkeith, 1551) She actuallt failed a crucial test she touched a corpse which bled proving her guilt as a witch

Witchcraft can be called fake/false and whatever else you wish to use! This is basically because of the lack of scientific evidence now this is different as if you thing about it the prove would be gained by another person witnessing the craft am I correct well take oxygen for instance we cannot see it yet we know it is there we have the faith for it.

If you have/will ever see a true shaman/witch/druid and so forth you would not be so quick to disclaim everything about it. Maybe seeing is believeing but why do people believe in Christianity ¡V the so called bible has been around for so long that it has ended up being fabricated and seems to have bits missing! Yet we do not see it we have never seen what it can do correct have we had proof no jesus etc does not count have YOU you personally seen any proof to this I thought not but it is there and true to you because you have faith this is somewhat the same with witchcraft we have faith it works and we have seen it work!! Maybe you should consider that there are other things out there people may scoff when they heard what i/others are but if only they could see then there eyes would be open to a degree where they will except it!

Prosecutions were going on in the 1200 to 1700 centurys because people were scared of them yes maybe some did do sacrifices etc but most did not and they were sacrificed so that the people would feel safe again!

Now we are very lucky that time has moved on for us as think about the olden days we/they were not ever considered they were put to trial instantly if there was so much as a hint that they practiced the craft now a days people still fear it so therefore do not except it fully but we no longer have to hide it and worry about being prosecuted.

hmmm maybe some people really need to open up there eyes that there are other things to this world. Witchs have been around for thousands of years and still are going strong only thing that is the same now as it was then is that our communitys/pacts groups still have to be done in secret! We cannot let anyone in and cannot pass any information that has been passed to us from the inside.
