Novel & Cerita They Didn't Burn Witches They Burned Women

" A shriek trickled out of Emily's mouth, "Burn? How did he even find them weren't they supposed to be cloaked in a protective spell? How did you guys find out?" Vanessa made sniffling sounds. Emily's heart ached for her mother, she'd obviously cried throughout the night. "He lynched them, Emily." She moaned, "no one knows how he was able to trace them or how he was even able to set them ablaze." Emily almost choked, Fire was the worst form of death for witches. Even though it was one of the basic elements for spells, witches were petrified when confronted with it, the history of burning witches in the past made it so.

She sat back. “Huh?” Amber looked at her. “Then what are we talking about?” “Well, from what I can tell, it derives from the verb wiccian from Low German or even witan, which means ‘to know’. This is so confusing. But also my gut is telling me that the church used this opportunity to rid the population of women and men that they deemed dangerous based on opinion. They twisted their definitions around so as to be able to kill people plain and simple. This is just history repeating itself, Amber. They could claim a woman had supernatural powers…like what? She could think? Or someone who practiced what they deemed as an old religion because they healed people or were ugly. Or worse, if you were

I started bringing up my worthless heartbreaking story to Viola, but it helped me understand that killing to succeed in revenge won't improve things. "I thought he and I were meant to be, but he broke my heart by being with another." I continued. "I lost the one person who would love me to be with another. I, too, lost faith as it turned to vengeful thoughts. I planned to have my revenge on them and prove that their life wasn't worth my concern by becoming the Mistress of Pandora and having my closes friends like Zayn here. They have my back. I didn't become a witch to show how powerful I am. I am a witch because of my blood. I will show them I can care for myself and protect others."

“Because our neighbours don’t like us. They know we’re different, and it frightens them. My family was all dead, and I'm the sole survivor, so right now I'm all alone. Humans shouldn’t be frightened. We wouldn’t do anything bad to them.” Jenna and Tommy looked at each other, and Diana was calm. So calm and so beautiful. Celestina shook her head as she scooped out another handful of dirt. She had enough goodness in her to save the world. “That’s true, Celestina, dearest. We would never hurt them. But they can’t see that. They have too much fear in their hearts,” Diana added. She knew that in this era, witches were hunted and burned; witchcraft had ceased to be considered a criminal offence th

"Are you saying the family that came here, mum’s and your family, were from the witch trails? William, this isn’t a time for joking around. Please I want fact not fairytale.” Ivy was told all about the trails, her mother loved to share the facts she managed to dig up. Hidden truths in plain sight. The women and children that were killed when they were innocent. As all were. No person could be a witch, or warlock. The women were burned, drowned or beaten as they were accused of witchcraft. Weren’t witches.

“Who was with them?” Ezra hesitated, glancing at his companions. “Witches,” he said finally. “Three of them. They weren’t just aiding the rogues—they were commanding them. The rogues fought like they didn’t care if they lived or died, and the witches used spells to block our retreat.” The room fell silent, Ezra’s words held more weight that I could imagine. “What about the villagers?” I asked, though I already feared the answer. Ezra’s jaw tightened. “We got there too late. The village was burned to the ground.”

It didn’t detail too much into the whole history before the witch burnings, but when it started in on the witch burnings, it turned brutal. “The Spell-Blades as they were called back then as well were coming through the town, only taking the women and girls. They beat the men and then slowly tortured the females with their magic until they caught on fire, slowly burning to death while the men could do nothing but watch and mourn, if they interfered they were beaten by the Spell-Blades.” Jade read out loud.

She fully believed that what they were about to do was right! “Burn the witches!” An elderly woman cried. A younger man walked towards the first woman with the torch in his hand as the woman screamed, “Please no! I am not a witch, please believe me.” “Lies!” The younger man yelled and threw the torch he had at her feet. The hay quickly ignited and started burning her. The second woman started screaming when she saw this happening. Soon she was set alight and the flames burned them both alive. The third woman looked at the older man coming towards her with a torch in his hand and smiled at him, opening her mouth she spoke, “There are many more where I come from and the three you just killed w

Josephine stated to her younger brother who was already waiting for his turn. He lit up his fire magic and shot it to the house. Huge flame engulfed the building and Herod lifted the two corpses from the ground with his magic and threw them back inside the fire infested house with his magic. The three witches watched as the house got burnt and they sighed because the task seemed so insignificant compared to everything they ever had to do before. Somehow it was not satisfying at all. “It was too easy, way too easy, like a child’s play.” Lewis sighed in disappointment. Of course, murdering humans was like a petty task to them. They gained absolutely nothing by doing it.

I agreed and fell asleep quickly. It seemed like I wasn’t asleep for more than a few minutes when I was suddenly back in that room with my sister and now, two brothers. They were all shackled to the floor. I did notice that the window was no longer tall, but wide. One of them had turned the window sideways, and I know why. During the era of the Salem Witch Trials, the houses in the affected areas started being built with one window at an odd angle or sideways. It was called a Witch’s Window because a witch wouldn’t be able to fly through it on her broom. It was a human attempt to deter witches from entering their homes.
