This my wicca section. Comment if you wish. But please keep it cordial.
Please note! I am NOT a teacher, priest, sage or master of anything. Nor I do I wish such a following. 😒 I will try to post videos according to the season of the wheel. The first of such videos will be on Mabon
A non Sabbath nor solstice piece that is highly significant.
The burning times where terrible times for all pagans. We all remember them with sorrow.
We will never forget.

Many may believe that Wicca is all love and light. And with much that is very much true.
Yet their are tolerances and limits. So with that we say....
Never forgive. Never forget. Not with the burning times. Not then. Now now.
Sorry about the lack of formatting on the following. There just no way to format this as a table. Some of the names and reasons of those who were lost.
Note: I have come across many such list. Some contain many of the women that follow. Yet none that I know of contain any men.
If any should happen to know more both men and women please reply either here or privately or on the link at the bottom of this list.
This is not a wicca only list rather a pagan list.
Please note ”Goodwife" means unknown first name female wife.

Barbara Zdunk who was killed on August 21, 1811. She was ethnically Polish, but it was a period when the city now known as Reszel belonged to Prussia. She may have been the last woman executed for witchcraft in Europe.
She couldn't be accused of witchcraft directly, so her trial was said to be for other reasons. In 1806, the city was completely damaged by fire. People were looking for the person who caused it and they remembered that there was a witch known for her fondness of magic. They immediately started to blame her, and as a result she was arrested a few months later, in 1807.
@Peaches that was 2008. I didn't find out about this until just before I posted this a year and a half ago. So I don't know
Just included it to show it's still happening somewhere in the world. That these types of behaviors could happen anywhere. Even here still.
There's a beast behind the civility mask that we currently wear. And it doesn't hide the beast very well.
If anything January 6th has showed us, it's that beast is still there, hiding, waiting, lurking for the right moment to come out behind the civility mask. 😔
