Even they weren't really witches for some reason I've always thought of the men and women who died martyrs

The real martyrs were the one's in Europe who worshiped the Old Gods and refused to convert to Christianity and were slaughtered as a result.

I'll start by saying I know little about the faith but, do wiccans recognise martyrs? Is wicca that sort of faith if you see what I mean or was it just fate for those that died?

i've got study lots on the situation years in the past, and the full difficulty look to are starting to be began whilst 2 teenaged ladies got here decrease than the impact of a Haitan homestead-maid named Titsuba who replaced right into a practitioner of voo-doo and led to the final inhabitants to rat one yet another out as witches which, of path, led directly to the "witch trials" and well-known community uproar. have faith it or no longer, extra harmless people who had no longer something to do with witchcraft have been burned or hung, and the full difficulty replaced into - in the back of the curtain - extra political than the rest.

These people didn't die for their beliefs, they were tortured and killed because people were afraid of something they created in their own minds. So, despite the fact that their deaths were tragic, horrible and wrong, I don't consider them to be martyrs.

Not me. They didn't die for a cause or to help anyone or because they did something good - they died because other people were stupid and ignorant and terrified of things that aren't real, and coldhearted enough to kill because of it. They were unfortunates.
But you can view them like that if martyrs are important to you.

I see them as martyrs perhaps to the notion of free speach and the right to free expression, but not necasarily as martyrs for wicca or the craft. they where persecuted simply for being different from the majority and the determination fo them not to bow to the common wisdom is aplaudable.
