'''A Witch''' (sometimes spelled ''wytch'' as in the old [[English]]) is a female practitioner of the [[occult]] or [[pagan]] rites. In the past many witches were burnt at the stake. In Exodus 22:18 the [[Bible]] specifically bans witchcraft under penalty of death. The famous [[British]] [[Pendle Witch]] trials of 1612AD are an example of the punishment meted out to witches by certain members of the [[Catholic]] church.
