Kinda off-topic from the point of OP, but I always find it hilarious there are religious people at a school of witchcraft. They celebrate Christmas despite witches being burned at the stake by christians. I just can't get over it.

1) religion and witchcraft are not mutually exclusive (even Christianity), and 2) it's book canon (I forget where it's said exactly) that no "actual" magical folks were burned because they could easily escape.

Also 3) real witches weren't burned by mean old Christians either. For the most part it was *gasp* innocent Christians. Source: I am a witch who's very tired of The Burning Times mythos.

You need to learn some genuine history and then get over the gumph you've been fed on social media. The "burning times" are an utter myth. People were occasionally hanged as witches - almost none saw themselves as any such thing, and were usually just unpopular outcasts used as community scapegoats. As Anon Below says, far more "heretics" were burned than anyone you would recognise as a witch or were accused of same.
