BURNING TIMES: Paganism Pagan Dictionary on BURNING TIMES
BURNING TIMES: Reference to a historical time from around 1000 C.E. through the 17th century when it is said that up to nine million people were tortured and burned by church and public officials on the assumption that they were the Christian version of Witches. This turned into an extremely profitable venture, as all land and property was seized from the accused individual and portions given to the accuser (in reward fashion) and the remainder seized by the church officials. Historians indicate that the majority of people tortured and murdered were women and children. . . For more articles on BURNING TIMES , see: BURNING TIMES , Paganism, Pagan, Pagan Dictionary . .
