There were somewhere between 40,000 and 100,000 executed. There may have been the same number or more accused. I don't think you really want a list that long. I know we would not be able to produce it.
More correctly it would be witch's brew (one witch) or witches' brew (several witches). As for the brew part, the origin could be Shakespearean as in MacBeth where the 3 witches concoct a broth with unholy ingredients.
Some witches may choose to wear earrings, but it is not a requirement or part of being a witch. Whether or not a witch wears earrings is a personal choice and not indicative of their practice or beliefs in witchcraft.

All trials of so called witches is caused by ignorance and superstition on the part of the perpetrators. There never has nor will there be witches. Witch trial were a farce. The so called witch had to be punished so that the minds of the superstitious might be put at rest. It is better for one person to die rather than have unrest in the community. Ignorance is a powerful tool for Satan to use.

The witches' animals: The first witch has a familiar in the form of a cat, with its name being Greymalkin. Greymalkin means grey cat. The grey part is the colour, the malkin part was a nickname for Matilda or Maud that could be used as a name for a cat. The second witch has a familiar in the form of a toad, with its name being Paddock.
It depends on whether they are part of a group like Wiccan or an Eclectic Solitary Witch like myself. I go undetected. I consider myself a witch due to psychic abilities and a knowing on how to cure various ailments through herbs and spells. It's all about energy.
