I guess that Salem stake burning thing hasn't happened for awhile, huh? That was only for witches and not warlocks though, I guess. whew!
I don't think they made a distinction between witches & warlocks in colonial Salem. Probably didn't have "Bewitched" on the tube to provide guidance back then. Male "witches" were sometimes called "wizards".
Six of the ninteen convicted "witches" who were executed were male. One accused male witch died in prison.
And they didn't burn witches in Salem, they hanged them - except for one old guy they "pressed to death" by piling heavy stones on top of him until it killed him.
He wasn't actually convicted of witchcraft, they were just trying to convince him to submit to trial.
