mLine 3:
Line 3: − − The most infamous case of witchcraft trials was the Salem Witch Trails in which dozens of women and man were all executed by the colony of Massachusettes for the practice of witchcraft. The trials are considered one of the most obsene miscarrages of justice in American history, because the accused had no way of proving thier guilt and had to choose between admitting to a crime they did not commit or be executed.

In the past many witches were burnt at the stake - most of, if not all, these witches knew nothing of [[Wicca]] or witchcraft, and were witches only in the imaginations of those accusing them. In Exodus 22:18 the [[Bible]] specifically bans witchcraft under penalty of death. A famous case is the [[British]] [[Pendle Witch]] trials of 1612 AD.

In romantic times, witches became popular figures of novels and fairy-tales. Most of the times they were of evil and dangerous character, but there are also examples of benevolent character. At about the same time they became popular carneval figures.
