Salem Witch Trials

If they were convicted, their property was confiscated.

Yes and no. First, one of them was either 11 or 12. Second, the two girls were believed to be bewitched. Now, we know that they were not bewitched and we do not know the cause. Either they were faking or a physical or mental illness that caused then to have symptoms like what Puritans considered witchcraft and hallucinate they saw witches tormenting them.

not really, it was mainly about religion

Whole bunch of people and Villingers. the afflicted and the acused were the main people.

death of witch

---

Sadly, the death of a witch did not end the witch hunt. The witch hunt went on until all of the accused were dealt with, including those who were accused by people confessing under torture. The result was that hundreds of people could die in a single prosecution.

The reason for this was partly that people in a position to do so sometimes put bounties on the witches brought to justice, so people could enrich themselves by persecuting numbers of others in a really brutal fashion.

The thing that brought the whole movement to an end was clearly not because medieval superstitions were put aside; the witch hunts did not begin until more than 100 years after the Middle Ages ended. Nor was it a matter of the Age of Enlightenment coming; that began after the witch trials ended.

I think the end if witch hunts was more a matter of people getting sick and tired of the whole thing.

no they didn't deserve it for being a piece of crap witch

Edit:

What's above is just rude and none of them were actually witches. They didn't get obituaries, however, because they weren't printed in newspapers back then.

The Scarlet Letter and the Salem Witch Trials belong to very different eras. The 1640s and the 1690s were very different in New England. Especially in Boston.

During the Salem witch trials, they didn't dunk the witches. That was a European thing. The Europeans believed that if you tied a supposed witch up and attached stones before putting them in the water. If they floated, the devil was holding them up and therefore they were a witch. If they sank, they were innocent and probably dead.

Valve seals are dried out and need replacing if it is blue smoke. Black smoke is a sign of a overly rich condition. White smoke is a sign of coolant in the engine combustion chamber. Have this looked at by a professional ASAP. If it is indeed a coolant leak, as in a blown head gasket, serious engine damage can occur. Some steam from the tail pipe at startup is normal, and without seeing it, I could not say for sure.

Witchcraft, or the Craft of the Witch is a spiritual path commonly found under the umbrella term Paganism.

The word witch is not gender specific so witches are both men and women.

Most witches follow some form of spiritual path that reveres nature, and celebrate the turning of the seasonal wheel and the phases of the moon. They also try to live conscientious, caring, ethical lives endeavoring to take responsibility for their words, actions and magics.

Many witches are polytheistic, actively revering both the male and female aspects of deity, although the pantheons will vary.

Some witches study, learn, teach, and practice some form or forms of magic, by tapping into and directing the power/energy of the earth and the universe.

A few witches follow spiritual paths that believe it is acceptable to use magic for purposes that are not necessarily kind, ethical, caring or benign.

All witches are human, subject to all the strengths and weaknesses of the human condition.

No one is perfect, not a witch nor a saint, but as with every spiritual path, witches endeavor to be the best person they can.

EDIT:

Governor Phips declared spectral evidence invalid after his wife was accused. He then wrote to London asking for permission to pardon the around 150 accused still in prison. In May, 1693, the last trial was held and every remaining defendant was judged innocent.

Yes and the people who were different, alone, had a disability or just misunderstood. One UC Santa Barbara historian in her book on the trials states that her research points out that the community wanted to be rid of these people and even there were some who wanted their land, so the trials were a simple way to do this.

because Abigal didnt like the fact that John had turned her away so she got him in trouble

The blame is to be split between him and his wide Elizabeth. If she had been more loving and stood by his side being supportive, then he most probably wouldn't have had an affair with Abigail. He takes the other half of the blame because he had no self control and allowed his emotions dictate his actions.

*Salem Witch Trials

**The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts, between February 1692 and May 1693.

**In 17th century colonial North America, the supernatural was part of everyday life.

**This concept emerged in Europe around the fifteenth century and spread to North America when it was colonized.

**Witchcraft was then used by peasants, who invoked particular charms for farming and agriculture.

**Over time, the idea of white magic transformed into dark magic and became associated with demons and evil spirits.

**From 1560 to 1670, witchcraft persecutions became common as superstitions became associated with the devil.

**In "Against Modern Sadducism" (1668), Joseph Glanvill claimed that he could prove the existence of witches and ghosts of the supernatural realm. Glanvill wrote about the "denial of the bodily resurrection, and the [supernatural] spirits".

**Works by men such as Glanvill and Cotton Mather tried to prove to humanity that "demons were alive."

The Salem witch trials began in the spring of 1692, specifically in February, when a group of young girls began exhibiting strange behaviors and accusing others of witchcraft. The hysteria escalated throughout the spring and summer, leading to a series of trials and executions. The trials gradually began to decline by the fall of 1692, and by May 1693, the situation had largely subsided. Overall, the intense period of hysteria lasted approximately a year.

I need a lengthy formal poem on Giles Corey, I'm a junior in high school so I'd like words that would be used around my age. I will pick best answer.
