I'd hate to be the woman who got drowned or hanged for being the one in the village with the herbal remedies. That would suck.

And did.

Being a witch myself, I'm glad it came to an end too. And, I'm glad that man got what he deserved too.

And, you know, of all of the supposed witches they burned, drowned, etc... most of them were really Christian and not witches at all. So, they killed a lot of people that actually shard their own faith.

I remember reading a story about one poor woman that couldn't hear their questions because she was deaf. She was a Christian woman, but they put her to death anyway because she wouldn't answer their questions so they took that as an admission of guilt.
