It is with great relief and joy that we can now confirm that the witch has met her ultimate demise. For far too long, she has wrought havoc and terror upon our village, casting dark spells and cursing those who dared to cross her path. But now, thanks to the bravery and determination of our people, her reign of darkness has come to an end. The witch, whose name we dare not speak, was known for her twisted and malevolent powers. She could be seen lurking in the shadows, brewing potions and reciting incantations that sent shivers down our spines. Her presence alone was enough to strike fear into the hearts of even the strongest among us.

Like Gage, Baum was a proponent of equal rights for women, and he wrote several pro-suffrage editorials in the South Dakota newspaper he owned briefly, the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer. She was arguably the first American pop-culture figure to prove that, despite their reputation for diabolical antics, witches could be benevolent beings.
Her presence alone was enough to strike fear into the hearts of even the strongest among us. But no longer. Our community, tired of living in fear and under the witch's dark influence, banded together to put an end to her tyranny.
Were Witches Really Burned at the Stake During the Salem Witch Trials?
In January 1692, a group of young girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts became consumed by disturbing “fits” accompanied by seizures, violent contortions and bloodcurdling screams. A doctor diagnosed the children as being victims of black magic, and over the next several months, allegations of witchcraft spread like a virus through the small Puritan settlement. Twenty people were eventually executed as witches, but contrary to popular belief, none of the condemned was burned at the stake.
In accordance with English law, 19 of the victims of the Salem Witch Trials were instead taken to the infamous Gallows Hill to die by hanging. The elderly Giles Corey, meanwhile, was pressed to death with heavy stones after he refused to enter an innocent or guilty plea. Still more accused sorcerers died in jail while awaiting trial.
Salem Witch TrialsThe myth of burnings at the stake in Salem is most likely inspired by European witch trials, where execution by fire was a disturbingly common practice. Medieval law codes such as the Holy Roman Empire’s “Constitutio Criminalis Carolina” stipulated that malevolent witchcraft should be punished by fire, and church leaders and local governments oversaw the burning of witches across parts of modern day Germany, Italy, Scotland, France and Scandinavia.
Historians have since estimated that the witch-hunt hysteria that peaked between the 15th and 18th centuries saw some 50,000 people executed as witches in Europe. Many of these victims were hanged or beheaded first, but their bodies were typically incinerated afterwards to protect against postmortem sorcery. Other condemned witches were still alive when they faced the flames, and were left to endure an excruciating death by burning and inhalation of toxic fumes.
As Burke recognized, there’s more to Glinda than her saccharine trappings. When the Wicked Witch threatens her, she responds with a laugh: “Oh, rubbish! You have no power here. Be gone, before somebody drops a house on you too.” Glinda later asks Dorothy whether she has a broomstick for flying to the Emerald City. “Well, then, you’ll have to walk,” the Good Witch replies when Dorothy says no. Glinda then sends the child to brave the wilds of Oz with nothing more than a canine companion and some flashy footwear. Beneath Glinda’s tulle outfit is a spine of steel—and a belief that a young woman like Dorothy could grow one and become independent too.
We gathered the most skilled warriors, the wisest sorcerers, and the bravest souls in our midst, all united by a common goal: to rid our village of this wicked sorceress once and for all. The battle to defeat the witch was not an easy one. She fought back with all her might, unleashing her dark magic upon us. But we stood strong, refusing to let her dark powers overcome us. It was a grueling and dangerous fight, marked by casualties and sacrifice. Yet, we pressed on, fueled by our determination to reclaim our village from the clutches of evil. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the moment of truth arrived. The witch was cornered, her powers weakened by our collective strength. She tried desperately to escape, to summon one last spell that would save her from her impending doom. But we were relentless, closing in on her with every passing second. And then, it happened. With one final strike, the witch was defeated. Her body crumpled to the ground, her powers extinguished. The air grew still, as if the very universe sighed in relief. We had done it. We had triumphed over the darkness that had plagued us for so long. The atmosphere in our village is now filled with hope and renewed energy. The once barren and desolate streets are now bustling with life. Laughter and joy permeate through the air, replacing the fear and despair that once consumed us. The witch's demise has brought us together, solidifying the bond between us and reminding us of the strength we hold as a united community. Though the scars of the witch's reign may never fully fade, we will not let her memory haunt us. We will honor those who lost their lives in the battle against evil and ensure that their sacrifice was not in vain. Our village will rebuild and thrive, basking in the newfound freedom from the witch's darkness. As we move forward, let the tale of the witch serve as a reminder of the power of unity, courage, and resilience. We are no longer under her spell, for we have proven that together, we can overcome even the darkest of forces. Our village will forever be a testament to the triumph of good over evil..
