| | Execution by burning |
 | | Burning was used as a means of execution in many ancient societies. | | | These reports claim that in some cases they failed to be burned, and had to be beheaded instead. | | | Contrary to popular belief, none of the executions in the Salem witch trials were carried out by burning. |

| | Stage #9: Sentencing and Execution |
| | The actual hanging or burning could be preceded by a bout of monstrous public torture, especially where local officials controlled the trial. | | | A servant who killed his master or a woman who used magick against her husband was a petty traitor and could be sentenced to be burned alive. | | | Religious courts who sentenced a Witch to death handed her over to the government for actual execution, to "keep the Church's hands clean", so to speak. |

| | Witch Hunt |
| | The low number of executions in Italy and Spain is due to the fact the Spanish Inquisition was more interested in heretics and in relapsed converts from Judaism, Islam, etc. than in accusations of witchcraft. | | | Most of these victims probably would have viewed themselves as good Christians, and were not member of any secret cult: most of the confessions about secret meetings or convents can be shown to be the result of the torture on one hand, and the superstitions of the inquisitors on the other. | | | Many witches were burned alive, needless to say. |

| | Doomed prisoners were led in procession to the place of execution. | | | Matthew's 'gentle Jesus' sanctions the burning of heretics, Jews, witches and unbelievers. | | | Such Church/State terror (a pretence was maintained that the secular authorities carried out the actual murders) not only enforced religious devotion and conformity: it provided substantial income from property confiscated from the victims. |

| | Considerations - Monitor |
| | All of the methods of execution currently used in the United States have been criticized, e.g., they allegedly inflict unnecessary pain, are anachronistic (hanging and the firing squad), or they "sanitize" executions (lethal injection). | | | At first, Gilmore was dismissed as a lunatic - there had been no executions in nearly a decade but as his campaign gained momentum, reporters and film crews, activists of every stripe, publicity hounds, gawkers, and assorted wackos all flocked to Utah State Prison. | | | Some Florida lawmakers looking to Texas' example may envision an execution mill if lethal injection is adopted in Florida, but there is no evidence that indicates that the Texas' experience would be duplicated in Florida simply by adopting lethal injection as the method of execution. |

| | Challies Dot Com: Nobody Expects The Spanish Inquisition |
| | He says that often mannequins were burned to represent those tried in absentia and condemned to death and heretics and witches who repented at the last minute were given some sort of relief when they were strangled before being burnt. | | | The trouble is that wild claims of an orgy of killing and torture have been floating around since the Reformation, and these have been accepted as truth by a large part of the populace without recourse to the official records. | | | The Inquisition reached its peak in the 16th Century as it battled the Reformation, but its most famous trial was that of Galileo in 1633, condemned for claiming the earth revolved around the sun. |

| | Burning Witches |
| | It was once commonly believed that a witch's power could be nullified by blooding her or by destroying her blood in a fire, hence the practice of burning at the stake. | | | Sometimes uncooperative witches were burned with green wood, which took longer to kill them. | | | Partially as a result of this declaration, victims were burned to death in order to give them a taste of what was coming. |

| | In Paris, in 1532, Calvin fell in with Lutheran protesters against the Mass and barely escaped arrest and execution by burning. | | | When Sebastian Castellio (1515-1563) wrote, "Let us who are Christians not condemn one another, but, if we are wiser than they are, let us also be better and more merciful" in his pamphlet, "Should heretics be persecuted?," Calvin merely banished him from his comfortable commune — a luckier break. | | | Unlike the profane peasant Martin Luther, 26 years his senior and with whom Calvin never met, Calvin was genteel and scholarly and was never ordained in the Catholic Church. |

| | Truth About The Spanish Inquisition |
| | They did not originate during the middle ages, having been the law before the Christian era. | | | Persons called before the inquisitors who repented were released after promising to mend their ways and to do the penances enjoined, such as fasting, wearing a special penitential garb for a time, and imprisonment, which very often was in the houses of the penitents themselves. | | | Torturing and burning were no part of the solemn religious ceremony called the Auto-da-Fe, where the penitents abjured their errors and made public recantation, by making an Act of Faith. |
