Dunk a Witch! |
From:
http://www.csicop.org/superstition/more.html
"Rent a dunk tank from a nearby rental business (they cost between
$50-150/day). Have volunteers act as witches and warlocks or invite
event participants to be "tested" to find out if they are a witch.
Include a handout or information display that explains the practice of
dunking alleged witches in history. Or, put on the Monty Python skit
from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The belief went that witches cannot drown, since clean (sacred) water
rejects them. The accused witch would be bound and tested by
"swimming." If she sank she was innocent (and in many cases now dead
by drowning,) but if she floated, she was guilty of being a witch (and
would therefore soon be dead by hanging or being burned at the
stakes.) CLICK HERE for more information on this topic."
=====
Has anybody around here ever been to something like the above?

I would like to see a genuine practitioner of wicca try this and after
she is 'proven' to not be a witch, she reveals her true religion to the
crowd.
