Salem was a very witchy place. See below for other witchy sites. It didn't take much to brand someone a witch and murder her/him. Why?

There were the Basque Witch Trials in Spain
The Fulda Witch Trials in Germany
The North Berwick Witch Trials in Scotland
The Toraker Witch Trials in Sweden
The Salem Witch Trials in America

Hanging was the  primary means of murdering the witches in Salem. In Europe they often burned their witches. Accusation didn't have to be corroborated or true or proven. How do you prove someone is a witch anyway?  Through the centuries around the world there have been "witches" and witch hunters and witch murderers .

    Many good, decent, God fearing women were executed during this age of terror. (John 15:18, 19; Matthew 24:9,)

  • christianity  gave / invented  something for  people  to blame their hardship  on  .  - ( their  competition).

    The christian story book commands  these people be  put to death  . 
     
    they can't call BS on themselves  , so they carry out  the deed  when called upon. 

    ironically , in most  witch trial  cases , it was  pissed off christians getting  back at  another christian and accusing them just  to  get rid of them . and  women who turned down sexual requests from clergy ,  then were accused  before she  made it public  .  etc etc etc  ..

    that   "holy book"  actually commands  you  kill almost everyone on the planet  . 

    and they   cal  US  evil?

    our book  contains healing  recipes .
