∙ 13y agoWitches in the 1600s were probably in hiding, what with all the people parading through the streets with pitchforks and lit torches trying to find someone to accuse of witchcraft? I'm proud of being a Wiccan witch, but I probably would have kept it hidden in the 17th century.

Witches were burned at the stake, stoned (having large heavy stones placed on your body crushing you slowly to death), exile, drowning and hanging. Depending on where you are the punishments vary.

What were peoples attitudes toward witches in 17Th century England?
People believed that witches were around in the 17th century due to there being many rumours going around that old women who had black cats and had a cauldron were witches. For testing these rumours there were two methods that they used, swimming a witch and burning them alive. Swimming a witch was when they tied up the person that they thought was a witch and placed them on the water. If they floated they were a witch because the water didn't want witches in the water and later on they would be burnt alive. If they drowned they were innocent but they died anyway because nobody fetched them out the water. So basically if they were accused of being a witch they would die.
