| | Witch-hunt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The most important form of evidence in many of the witch trials was attained by "ordeal". | | | It is often written that many accused witches were women who were practitioners of herbalism, natural healing or midwifery, yet none of these have ever been considered "witchcraft". | | | Many suspects were women who lived in towns, villages or rural areas and who may have been practitioners of herbalism, natural healing or midwifery; but often it was simply poor, uneducated women who did not have influential friends. |

| | Witch Hunt |
| | Witches, defined in medieval times as those who could use nature to their advantage, got a bad rap during the Christianization of Europe, says Dennis Owen, professor of religion at the University of Florida. | | | One expert claims that paganism and witchcraft are the nation's fastest growing religions, attracting baby boomers hungry for a faith that is sympathetic to their environmental or feminist beliefs. | | | But like thousands of people across the country who are searching for a spiritual message but are turned off by conventional religion, Coleman and Zaleski practice Wicca, or witchcraft, a pre-Christian pagan religion that worships nature, much like the religions of Native Americans. |

| | The Witch Hunt as a Culture Change Phenomenon |
| | Throughout this presentation the witch hunt is considered as a typical persecutory movement, and the argument is couched in its terminology. | | | In detecting witches, "cult organizers usually have their own way of doing this: traditional methods of divination are not favored, and novel procedures are often reported" (Willis 1970:130). | | | By 1400, this new form of heresy began to attract the notice of church scholars. |

| | Witches will lie if they are asked what they are, but a villager will claim to be innocent as well. | | | After making sure all witches have their eyes closed, the moderator should say "Prophet, open your eyes." Then "Prophet choose one villager". | | | While the prophet can claim to be the prophet in discussions with the villagers, witches can also claim to be the prophet! |

| | Witch Hunt |
| | The idea of burning witches, one of the cruelest forms of execution, is said to have originated with Saint Augustine (354-430), who said "that pagans, Jews, and heretics would burn forever in eternal fire with the Devil unless saved by the Catholic Church." | | | Heretics were not only disbelieves of the church doctrine, but, many also were accused of beings servants of the Devil by forming compacts with him to get his help. | | | It is alleged by church authorities that many who were burned had either recanted their confessions at the last moment or did not repent for their crimes. |

| | Only one had tried to cover for special friends in the circle by naming 'innocents' who weren't part of the coven; two of those now shaped up as promising leads into other covens. | | | Since then, seven of the others had been called in and had all - angrily, hysterically, coolly, incoherently, through tears or with icy malice - named the others. | | | 'You must be aware that the majority of these people have identified themselves as former witches and given testimony to that purpose, describing and detailing the practice of sorcery as performed in your coven.' |

| | "Witch" comes from the Anglo-Saxon wicce (meaning witch), which in turn derives from an Indo-European root word meaning to bend or change or do magic/religion (making it related to "wicker," "wiggle," and even "vicar"). | | | It is possibly also related to the Old Norse vitki (meaning wizard), derived from root words meaning "wise one" or "seer." "Warlock" (rarely used, for male Witches) is from the Old Norse varðlokkur, "spirit song" (not "oath-breaker"). | | | That will be ere the set of sun... |

| | Another different point in the book is the way it's written: entirely in the present tense. | | | Not only does the narrator, Abbey Harmon, find herself traveling back to the days of the Salem witch trials, but also she leaves her own reality in 1963, giving teen readers a good look at what life was like when their parents were in high school. | | | There are no ghosts in "Witch Hunt", rather the past comes back to haunt Abbey via time travel instead of through supernatural means, a much more interesting method than if the author had settled for a typical story about a wronged witch. |

| | Witch hunt? - The Washington Times: Commentary - September 08, 2004 |
| | Today, anti-Semitic witch hunts can be dressed up as ideological conflicts between the Bush administration's so-called "hard-liners" and "moderates." The former are increasingly caricatured as "neoconservatives." For many who use this ill-defined term, though, it serves as an unmistakable, pejorative code word for "Jews." | | | The available record suggests that most, if not virtually all of the latter meetings — including at least 19 with FBI Director Robert Mueller or his senior subordinates — have been with representatives of groups long sympathic with Iranian or other Islamist causes. | | | It would be a dangerous irony if the witch hunt assailing prominent Bush administration Jews were to weaken a vital alliance, embolden our enemies and cause Mr. |
