Historically, accusations of witchcraft often led to severe punishments, including execution, imprisonment, or social ostracism. Methods varied widely by culture and time period, ranging from trials and torture to public executions, such as burning at the stake. Today, accusations of witchcraft are generally viewed through a lens of superstition and human rights violations, and modern societies do not endorse such punishments. Instead, there is a focus on education and understanding to dispel myths surrounding witchcraft.
