Spiritual evidence was allowed in these trials. This meant that only the person accusing the supposed witch could see an aura attacking them. Often people would start screaming as the witch entered the room and would mimic and contort them selves to act as if the witch was casting spells on them. This was considered evidence which is absolutely ludicrous by modern standards and shows how crazy the trials were. 99041640 https://padlet.com/99041640/3ax6dqvdiq2z21fk/wish/1879368583 2021-11-09 20:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/99041640/3ax6dqvdiq2z21fk/wish/1879368583 When you were convicted of being a witch you had 2 choices. One you could deny being a witch and killed by your peers. A second option was to lie and confess to being a witch ( a sign of saying your sorry for being a witch) and be spared but sent to hell.

The picture bellow shows the outcome of option 1, being burned at the stake. 99041640 https://padlet.com/99041640/3ax6dqvdiq2z21fk/wish/1879370238 2021-11-09 20:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/99041640/3ax6dqvdiq2z21fk/wish/1879370238 The purtians like their name were "pure". They thought europe's religon was to complicated and unlike what god intended. They sought to fix this with their own society's .

They said the only king we will ever need is Jesus Christ. They thought this would create a utopian society. The image bellow illustrates that point, the puritians thought their society would be so pure that it would be seen around the world as a beacon of hope. Thus the phrase "city on a hill" like the puritans were above all else. 99041640 https://padlet.com/99041640/3ax6dqvdiq2z21fk/wish/1879377530 2021-11-09 20:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/99041640/3ax6dqvdiq2z21fk/wish/1879377530
