Alot of womens have been accused and execcuted because of witchcraft. Especially female shamans who are made in to malicious figures by christian propaganda were suggested and accused that they were witches. They were usually exccuted by getting hanged and burning them.
Typical accusations of being a witch was:
1. The ride by night.
2. The pact with the Devil.
3. The Formal repudiation of Christianity.
4. The secret nocturnal meeting.
5. The desecration of the Eucharist and crucifix.
6. The orgy.
7. Sacrificial infanticide, and Cannibalism.
Later on Witchcraft Act was set on 1735. Instead of execution by getting hanged and burning them, people were subject to fines and imprisonment.
