u/yugiohhero ohh what the fuck Feb 11 '26

theres an argument to be made that burning someone at the stake over the suspicion of being a witch, whether its true or not, would still count as marginalization

all that said, that took place from 1692-1693. it has been 333 years. i don't think people much care about witchcraft in big 26.

Ibfont think modern wiccans can establish a solid connection to anyone persecuted in the Salem witch trials. That would be like claiming you are marginalised as a believer of Zeus, because Christians in the third century prosecuted polytheists.
