Yeah...and burned into pyres! OMG... *faints* Not just that, but there was pressing, quartering, hanging, and other types of evil punishments. Many women drowned from the testing to see if they were a witch should they have been tested in a certin manner. And it wasn't just women either, men were persecuted too.

Nope, if they were found to be warlocks or "in contempt of the court" ((court systems were crap)) then they could be killed.

Stupid people. That floating deal is kinda unfair. Either dorwn from being normal or float being accused of whatever and killed anyways. I would hate to live back then...

Yep. And the reason they were burned if they floated, is because if you floated you were made of wood. I'm not kidding you.

Hmmm I heard it was because of their spells. Different stories I guess.

It probably depended on the region they were from and the witch hunter that did the finding.

Jesus... I would have been called witch if I lived in that time, because I am really a strange person, lol. But... "Strange is not a crime"! At least not anymore.

I wouldn't have been given time to be condemned as a witch with my ideals and habits. >.<
