[QUOTE="Lovely Jar, post: 63547363, member: 333436"] But that particular passage was altered by order of King James when his version was coming to print and ultimately did in 1611. He did this because, being incredibly deviant, he was also paranoid. And he imagined a coven of Witches were conspiring to kill him. So he altered what was the original text that stated, thou shalt not let a poisoner to live, to that of, thou shalt not let a Witch to live. Thereby making in his own words what was said to be a Godly proclamation to execute those who he thought were working magic to unseat him. No one knows if anyone put to death as a Witch after just prior to 1611 was a member of that supposed coven bent on unseating King James. (Or, Queen James, as he was also known). Witchcraft, it should be noted, was allowed to be freely practiced in England when Witchcraft laws were repealed in 1951. In 1954 the first official publication about Witchcraft was made public. Gerald Gardners, '[I]Witchcraft Today.[/I]" Something that would have made King James spin in his grave having to realize not only do Witches live but they publish in Great Britain too. ^_^ [/QUOTE]
