Will the "Burning Times" Ever End?



After joining a group about Nephilim and hidden history this author has noted that Witches are still persecuted by Christians for beliefs that do not align with the beliefs of Christians.  Some the Pagan gods can be traced back to what Christians call Nephilim while others call them Annunaki or “they came from heaven to earth” in Sumerian.  This author noted that Christians in this group called her satanic and evil for presenting the idea that their bible god’s people have committed more atrocities against the those of the “evil Fallen Angels” than we have against them.  This article will suffice to highlight 4 times that Christians have decimated Heathens and Pagans.  First, some biblical quotes about the manner in Witches shall be dealt with will be presented.
Revelation 21:8 states “but cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars–their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death”.  Micah 5:11-12 says “I will tear down your walls and demolish your defenses. I will put an end to all witchcraft, and there will be no more fortune-tellers”.  Leviticus 20:27 claims that “men and women among you who act as mediums or who consult the spirits of the dead must be put to death by stoning. They are guilty of a capital offense.” Exodus (22:18) states, "thou shalt not permit a sorceress to live" (Chery, 2015).  There does not seem to be Pagan doctrine that recommends dealing so harshly with Christians.  Next, the treatment of the Celtics by the Roman Catholic Church will be considered.

Michael Tsarion is an Irish research scholar who has documented the harsh treatment of those in Ireland and Scotland at the time they were desecrated by Roman Christians.  Rome rode through the Celtic lands and destroyed the Indigenous Peoples as well as their knowledge in a cruel and unusual manner.  The “holy” Catholic churched proceeded to wipe out the Ancient Ways of the Celtics in order to force Christianity on them (Besik, 2015).  Saint Patrick really ran the Olde Folk from Ireland of the Serpentine Cults and not actual snakes. A summary of the Witch Trails or “Burning Times” will be presented next.

From the 15th to the 18th centuries in Europe people who were not perfectly aligned with Christianity were considered in league with satan itself so they were sorely persecuted by Christians.  A myriad of torturous acts were used to coerce confessions of Witchcraft from any suspect that may have confessed just to end their torture; luckily, those who could stand the torture without confessing may have been released.  Exile, imprisonment, fines, flogging, and capital punishment by beheading, hanging, or burning at the stake were among common punishments for Witchcraft.  Although Catholics were responsible for more Witch Trials, Protestants enjoyed this practice as well (Wikipedia, 2016).  The Catholic Inquisition even targeted midwives.  “The Burning Times” reports that approximately 9 million people were burned at the stake for heresy during this period so that 6 generations of children saw their mothers burned at the stake since 75% to 85% of those tried for heresy were women (NFB, 2015).  Next, the enslavement and conversions of Africans will be considered.








The history of African slavery in America is well known.  Millions of Africans were captured and brought to America where their slave masters forced Christianity onto them with fear of death and torture (Stone & Fogelman, 2003).  This author located a fabulous meme to dispel and myth about the Christian god being against slavery.  The treatment of Native American will be summarized next.

     Although the decimation of Native Americans began as soon as the Europeans landed, this article will point out Manifest Destiny.  In Manifest Destiny Christian “Americans” believed they had the divine or “god given” right to kill, enslave, and destroy the Indigenous of America in order to steal their lands.  This time of Native sorrow happened in the 1800s as primarily Christian “Americans” realized that they needed more land (Sparrow, 2017).  Even the Tribe of this author’s Ancestors, the Cherokee, were marched the Trail of Tears at this time.  Finally, a plea to the “burners” will be expressed.  

       The biblical 10 commandments specifically state: 6) “you shall not murder”, 8) “you shall not steal”,  9) “you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor”, and 10) “you shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's” (The Ten Commandments, n.d.).  The bible further states in Ephesians 5:11 “take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them” so this Witch asks that those persecuting us will follow their own commandments so that we can all live together in peace.  Furthermore, 1 John 3:8-10 states “he one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister” (Chery, 2015).  When one views Christianity from a Pagan or Heathen view-point it seems that it is possible that Christians are truly the devil’s children, especially since it is a biblical concept in the first place.

        The author would like to note that not all Pagans or Heathens are angry about our past treatment, and  that most believe that we each walk our own separate path so that judging others is a mute point.  It should also be noted that calling people or even "gods" or "fallen angels" evil because a book says they are evil should be avoided without careful consideration of past acts  that are associated with said book.  Blessed Be )O(

  1. Women are like earth, earth is caring for her children feeds them rivers and oceans of her blood and milk everyday. Women are breast feeding their children. To give birth is to give your blood for the shake of another soul. The message of Christianity is the sacrifice. Sacrifice brings gifts, it's inevitable . You can't have one without the other. You can not tell a person to be like Christ but not to have visions, dreams, or any kind of inner information. You want them to be sinners? or saviors?
