Witches were punished by being thrown in ditches with spell fish tied to their feet to make them swim away and drown.

they were burned at the stake and hung. depending where you were, the punishments differed. in England, witches were hung and in the rest of Europe witches were burned.

Witches 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.
