    Yeah lots of crazy stuff associated with the witchcraft accusation. My favorite was always the old throw em in the pond trick. If they sink, they were innocent.

    They were lucky if they got that. The word of an 8 year old was good enough most of the time. Of course, they'd just torture the accused until they confessed.

    The Inquisition was all about the expulsion of Muslims, Jews, and then the seizure of land. In places where the land of the condemned didn't go to the Church and/or State, accusations and executions were low-to-non existant.

    Except in the US where in Salem, it was all about a land grab from widowed women pure and simple, had nothing to do with religion, everything to do about how many men had died and the estate went to the women and the fact the women mostly lived on one side of the town. I don't know what percentage went to the state but it wasn't 50% but a lot did go to male family members of one kind or another.

    Wow, I wonder what the shipping fees were to mail land like that

    A++ post, fantastic read, will do business again.
    After "Gods" punishment, Lilith vowed that she would tear apart Adam and Eves marriage.

    She also saved the life of one of the two. One of them had a serious infection and the indians in that area used hot springs for medicinal purposes that had high sulphur content that she lead them to.

    Not much because a land title was only a few pages and first class postage was pretty cheap in 1692.

    You missed the part of my statement where I said it was purely about property seizure it seems.
