'THEY' are still here......just wearing different clothing.
Which makes sense, because this post isn’t really about witches.
As a witch myself, I don't find the "they didn't burn witches" line very helpful. Maybe as a historical take it is, but today, being a Nature-focused neopagan is a matter of religious liberty.

What seems to me most problematic about "they didn't burn witches" is the unintended implication that if those burnt *had* been witches, somehow that would've been more acceptable.
Because it reminds us that they *tried* to burn all the witches, but didn't succeed.
We women in sympathy with those ancestors, including contemporary witches like myself, celebrate their bravery & resilience.

"Nasty women" as Trumpers say is just the modern way to call those women witches
