John Proctor says this ironic statement about witchcraft trials to his wife, Elizabeth, in Arthur Miller's play The Crucible. Witchcraft was known as "black mischief" as in black magic, but he felt it was the witchhunting trials that were a stain on their community.
This depends on the publication. I have the black cover, with the mockingjay symbol in orange and that book has 454 pages.
AnswerAstronomy is not linked with witchcraft. Astonomy is not the same thing as astrology. Astronomy is the science of studying the universe outside our own planet, including stars, other planets, nebulae, black holes and many other phenomena. It is not prohibited by any religion. Astrology, on the other hand, is a form of divination, which some religions are against and others use. Here is a rundown of witchcraft: there was a mushroom that works like LSD that would grow in crops and people would get strange symptoms and they believed that these were caused by witchcraft.
It usually depends on which culture you look at, but, in most cases, sorcery was looked apon as "white magic" which can be used as protection against witchcraft AKA "black magic."A Pagan PerspectiveSorcery is the practice of what was once called Alchemy. Witchcraft, (aka the Craft, Wicca and in some cases Paganism) is the following of an earth base belief system which includes but is not necessarily exclusive to the use of magic (high and low), Ritual celebration of the cycles of the year and phases of the moon, as well as herbalism and scrying. Contrary to what you see in movies and read in fiction, we are basicly good people, who live, work and play the same as others.
The common image of black men during the Scottsboro case in the 1930s was heavily influenced by racial stereotypes and prejudices, portraying them as violent and criminal. This narrative was exacerbated by the accusations against the nine black teenagers, who were falsely charged with raping two white women. The case highlighted the pervasive racism of the time, as the media and society largely viewed these men through a lens of fear and hostility, reinforcing systemic injustices and discrimination. Ultimately, the Scottsboro trials became a symbol of racial injustice in America.
Some movies with the word black in the title include, Men in Black, Black Beauty, Black Hawk Down, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Yes
Black mischief is sneaky, so the trials were sneaky. The irony is that his affair with Abigail was sneaky and unfair. So, he shouldn't be criticizing the trials.
Black Mischief was created in 1932.

Witchcraft is not allowed in Christian beliefs. The Christian bible (King James edition) clearly says those who practice witchcraft and black magic will not go to heaven.
Most people, during the ancient times, associated witchcraft with black magic, even in pagan societies.
Burning women at the stake, for instance, as instruments of the Devil and witchcraft. Someone has changed my answer by replacing "black cats" with "women". They did that, too, but black cats were burnt simply because of the superstition related to the colour of their fur!
Witchcraft, like magic has no color. Magic is just hardness/ focused energy and witchcraft is the method of harnessing that energy. Its the way one uses magic that makes it black or white. In regular witchcraft a red candle represents Strength, physical energy, passion, courage, protection and defense magic
Witchcraft being a capital crime, goes back thousands of years, by people afraid of black magic.
