Which actual Witches? Most of our tales about witchcraft are tales invented by Christians and Muslims. They are a hodgepodge of invented details.

Religious propaganda about other religions, or alleged religions, is lying with intent to harm.

There is no actual evidence that any of those accused of Witchcraft, past or present, were actually practicing any form of Witchcraft.

There is no actual evidence during the more recent Satanic Child Abuse scare that anyone actually committed any such crime or that any of those convicted were Satanist.

Those trials in my own life time were just as foolish and wrong as the former Witchcraft Trials.
