OP

Yes, invented in the 20th century by Gerald Gardner, drawing from a variety of sources, including Aleister Crowley's Ordo Templis Orientis and Thelema. Wicca is a reconstructionist neo pagan belief system, not an unchanged, forever existing since the stone age kind of deal. As for the so called 'Burning Times', the vast majority of people who lost their lives during the witch hunts were actually Christian, innocent people caught up in a heap of superstitious fervour, and nonsense, a large part of it being fueled by a combination of fear and greed. And the numbers of people who died during the witch hunts has been grossly overstated at one time or another.

As for anyone walking on eggshells, I didn't see it that way, I just thought the commenter was being polite, same as I would be when asking someone of a different faith if they could explain something about their beliefs - just common courtesy.

"the vast majority of people who lost their lives during the witch hunts were actually Christian"

THIS. We were just the wrong "kind" of Christians as far as the imperial powers were concerned.
