Wicca
Do you know what wicca is? If you think its got something to do with Witches your on the right track, but we arn't evil. I wont tell you exsactly what wicca is. I want to set the record strait on why you might think we're evil.
Along time ago Christion wasn't the main Religon so to get more followers they told their presant followers that Witches were survants of Saten. And that's what we call the Burning Times. Lisen to a story that I found.
A young woman about my age has been put on trial as a witch for growing harmless herbs on her windowsill. I watch helplessly as they bind her hands and feet with thick coarse rope and pull her long golden hair. Someone spits on the ground just inches from her face and curses at her like a demon. A holy man is at the river's edge blessing the swirling water. This is the first test. If the blessed water receives her and she sinks, then she was wrongly accused and she goes to Heaven. But if the water rejects her and she floats, then she is the demon spawn they say she is and she will be tortured and burned. I feel her terror as she is lifted. feel the air rushing by as they throw her into the river. feel the churning water around me as she disappears below the surface. and I feel her overwhelming dismay as she rises to the surface, coughing and struggling to breathe. A few men wade through the water to her and pull her back to shore. The crowd clamors for her burning, and she is taken away to be tortured. I see her again a few days later with her hair shorn and shaven. She has been dressed in a black robe and she looks as though her spirit has been broken. My heart cries out for her, but I cannot bring myself to defend her for fear they would do the same to me. they tie her to a post surrounded by wood. Our eyes lock as holy men drive their torches into the wood. I can feel the heat as the fire licks at the hem of her robe. She is suddenly shrouded by a shimmering light. Just before she is consumed by the flames. The light remains until the fire dies down. Nothing is left of her body. It seems that though Holy Water rejected her the Almighty accepted her in her last moments and I feel her joy and peace.
