Question

Please make sure it is medievil times you are talking about.

The most info given will get best answer.

Answer 1

well, i remeber that they would tie a persons hands whom they thought was a witch, they would also attach something heavy, and would throw them in the water, such as a lake. if they float back up, and live, their witches. it was usually in Salem, Massachusets

Answer 2

I'm sorry, no. The way your question is posed is much too general. In Medieval Times, witches in the Tuscany region of Italy were treated with honor and respect. In other parts of Europe, mainly due to the teachings of the church, they were beginning to be shunned and mistrusted. The full history of the Craft during  those times would fill volumes.

Answer 3

Sorry, but there is -far- too much information on this topic to be put on here. There are books upon books on the subject.

Until Judeo-Christian times, Witches were protrayed and thought of in a positive light, as they could channel spiritual energy, perform magick, and often times predict the future. They knew the cycles of nature...the moon, the sun, the land...

Some people may bother copying something off of Wikipedia, but there is such an expanse of knowledge on the subject that the most you can hope for it to find a really good website, or pick up a good book.
