In which countries were witches burned most often?

a reply to: Athetos

Some Tribes just exile them to their own communities to live and work in peace.

What "myths propagated by Britain" are you talking about, and what point are you trying to make?

a reply to: RussianTroll

As 99% of your links are in Russian I won't be clicking on them any longer, it's clear you are posting propaganda and hate for the west so I no longer trust your links.

Contrary to the myths propagated by Britain,

Do you have any evidence you can post for that statement or is it because of your love/hate of all things British?

As for Russian witch trials, there were some documented cases but they were rarer or not as documented as those in Europe...
Here's an intersting article.

How Russians carried out witch hunts
Witches and warlocks were sent into the fire in neighboring Russia, as well. However, the witch hunt here did not achieve such systematic dimensions and mass character as it had in Europe. How come?

Mass delusions about dark magic - the way they were experienced in Europe - didn’t occur in Russia, chiefly because of the path of development taken by the Orthodox Church. Demonology as a complete science did not find a home here; Catholics and Protestants borrowed theirs from antique times. Therefore, there were no monumental philosophical-religious treatises on witches and demons to speak of in Russia - such as Johannes Nider’s ‘Formicarius’, ‘The Scourge of Heretical Enchanters’ by Nicholas Jacquier and, of course, Heinrich Kramer’s and Jacob Sprenger’s ‘The Hammer of the Witches’.

Russia took longer to throw off the old pagan ways and were more 'backward' when it came to excepting Christ.

Christianity arrived in Rus’ later than it did in the West and the rudiments of pagan worship continued to linger there for a longer period. Witches, healers, herbalists and soothsayers were often seen as descendants of the servants of pagan cults - the Volkhvs or the Magi.

Magic sometimes incurred far more severe forms of punishment than described above. In 1411, 12 women were burned in Pskov, accused of spreading pestilence. In 1462, in Mozhaisk, near Moscow, boyar (noble) Andrey Dmitrievich and his wife were both burned for alleged sorcery.

In 1497, Ivan III, the Grand Duke of Moscow, received a report that his wife Sofia Paleolog was visited by three “conniving old hags” with a “concoction”. All three were found and drowned in a river.

An entire arsenal of weapons and torture was available to the judges carrying out trials - from rearing people up, through to testing them with fire and piercing the “devil’s markings” - warts and birthmarks. Perhaps, the only thing different from the West was the absence of water torture.

To add.

in Germany all beautiful women were allegedly burned, which is why modern German women on average are not as beautiful as, for example, Slavic women.

Can you even make a thread without insulting people I wonder???

This preoccupation you have with the past is more interesting than your topics, usually. --Just an observation, not exactly a criticism.

Yeah, he a did a variation on this not that long ago, he does seem to have a 'thing' for Britain and witches?

Maybe well get a thread on the Pendle witch trials next and he'll tell us how evil us Brits are??

Yea and some tribes make them dig their own graves then beat them to death with shovels.

A beautiful culture really.

Then there is cannibalism, with speculation as to actual human meat markets, where the likes of "penis wine" can be procured.

And that's not just in Africa but in places like China, Southeast Asia, and Korea.

Humans are a pretty fecked-up species really.

No wonder aliens don't talk to us.

Witch burning is still a fad. Dr William Bay is a current one for calling out the establishment on their insanity. His flesh is not cooked yet as it goes to the supreme court. His career has been made toast.

Some people are into that kind of thing.

We all remember WW2.

Search for;
Malleus Maleficarum
Treatise on the prosecution of witches

Then do some data mining for "Inquisition".

Use dogpile.com or something other than Google.

Google is junk and removes information.
