Before they burn this person, they would cut every hair on the body. The reason was that it was beleived that the witches power came from the hair. Often, the mother was burned with her children that also received the same treatment before being burned. The children for the children being burned also was to make sure that the power was not transmitted to them.<BR/>Thank you.<BR/>Lorraine C.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528250518078369449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25878624.post-88022657317532152472009-04-09T11:53:00.000-07:002009-04-09T11:53:00.000-07:00Hi Aline,I am also leaving a first comment.As alwa...Hi Aline,<BR/>I am also leaving a first comment.<BR/>As always, it's a pleasure to read your blog.<BR/><BR/>I was reading the part about witches, another thing that was done to a person being accused, was to burn them alive in the public place.
