9 million is a little over the top.

But if this is supposed to be an essay upon an essay about the burning (and hanging and "pressing" - a form of torture using rocks placed up on a person in a supine position to make them confess to being a witch) of people accused of being witches, then it misses the mark because it completely leaves out King James I's obsession with persecution of witches (do unto others *before* they do unto you) - not all women, btw - which seems to have been spawned by his attendance at the North Berwick witch trials in Scotland. He later wrote a little ditty called, Daemonologie, In Forme of a Dialogie, Diuided into three Bookes. By James Rx (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemonologie) in 1597.

I am the pagan friend of [livejournal.com profile] dadadadio, although my personal preference is spiritualist, and I more closely follow the traditions of my Native ancestors of the southeast United States, who to this day, still experience persecution because their own spiritual practices do not dovetail with those of the Catholic or any other Abrahamic tradition.

And I have no intention of kissing your ass...
