I'm starting a class tonight, at my Church(yes, I am half Christian) on the Salem Witch Trails, and the Occult.
Any thoughts?
I'll let you all know how it goes.
Blessed be )0(

Permalink Reply by Party Pooper on September 9, 2012 at 5:49pm Are there going to be both Christians and Pagans attending? Does this church welcome pagans (CUUPS or UU)?

Permalink Reply by Firespinner on September 9, 2012 at 6:28pm Erm... what exactly is it that is being taught at this class? The "witches" in Salem weren't actually witches, and the trials (and people involved) had nothing to do with the occult...
Permalink Reply by Aurelia Pontia on September 9, 2012 at 7:45pm The occult and the Salem Witch Trials were two different animals.
It's obvious the slave woman was teaching the girls some occult parlor tricks, but the trials were nothing but hysteria, scapegoating and people out to settle scores whether personally or politically.

And maybe people will learn something.
