Welcome to Gnet 
I like some of the bands that you do.

The Salem Witch Trials were COMPLETELY separate from the burning times.

I already stated that they were hanged and not burned.
But the Burning times were tied to Witch Trials. They may not have occured at the same time, but they were done for the same reasons. During the Witch trails, people were tortured, hanged, crushed and drowned.
Then, I think, sometime after the Salem Witch Trials, the fever spread to Europe and these "Witches" were burned at the stake instead of hanged.
Either that or they were thrown of the cliff into the "Drowning pool" at St. Andrews with weights tied to their legs. Some also may have been hanged here in my village.
My village used to be called "The Gallows walk".
I don't know for sure if this place was used to hang these supposed Witches, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was.

Ophelia - Apparently, she's a 'witch', not a pagan.

First off, please lay off the speed and E cocktail before posting in the future. Second off, if you're so oppressed by your grandparents, you would probably either try to live elsewhere, or at the very least wouldn't be proclaiming it like it's a badge of honor. Third off, I hereby disown Stephanie Meyer on behalf of the state of Georgia. Fourthly, *poisons the troll food, just in case.*

Why are we keeping the disowning of Stephanie Meyer to the state of Georgia? Lets expand this disowning to humanity, shall we?

I guess you could say I have a broad taste in music then.
I listen to everything from Bach to Current 93 to Deathstars to Leonard Cohen to Cinema Strange. 
Yay for threadjacking!

Because someone from the bookstore I used to work at apparently mislead me in thinking she lived here...but it appears she was wrong. Arizona apparently bears the...honor...according to wikipedia, and we can blame Connecticut for giving birth to her. Shame on you, Connecticut. We're very disappointed in you.
