Moore, Christy - Burning Times Lyrics

Mother Earth you provide and you heal
Nurture and protect

I am sorry most of my species look to the sky for answers

I love and respect you

Alu Mara

You all will never be forgotten my friends you memory lives on especially to this day have patience my friends I am with you all that has been victims of the burning times.

Incredible song and music sorry what happened to you all innocent or not during the burning times what goes around comes around they will burn those who burned you during the burning times my friends justice will be done because the law and government will burn for what they have done to you all during those times my friends.

Is this not Roy Bailey's song?

Hard to coexist with people whose holy book commands them to make sure you DON'T exist. Read the Q'uran, people, and educate yourselves.

Absolutely beautiful <3

There was always and onlynone to worship and her name is mother earth

My Dad used to say that people
Fear that which they do not understand, but that knowledge was power. He also cautioned me knowledge used without foresight was irresponsible and that we must always look to the mistakes of histories past to correct the mistakes in the path of our futures. To all my fellow Practitioners, Peace be with you and yours in this New Year and Blessed Be

Sadly we are on a path to repeat our past because humanity is too foolish and stubborn to learn from it and the violence, hate and bigotry continue and spread. I pray every day that the world will wake up and see what is happening hoping things will change. I know sadly it will likely never happen but I do pray that one day this planet will find peace in all of humanity. ~Brother Absalom

new year,everyone love,love each other,love everyone x

The numbers of nine million has been proved to be inaccurate. Also, most witches where hung not burned. They burned heretics mainly.

What did it mean to be a heretic?

does it really matter, for the sake of poetry and song?? The killing of women happened for 200 years. how are we ever to truly know to full extent of the murders anyways??

correct the number was actually estimated at 30k-40k that were killed though even this number is debatable as records back then were sketchy at best of those that were actually killed as Witches. It's doubtful we will ever know the exact number of people killed. The sad thing as I stated in another post, is most of these people killed weren't even witches and were completely innocent of witchcraft.

so you aren't counting the Inquisitions?

@homeiswonderland A person whose beliefs are different from the established

I love this song but really wish there wasnt so much made up for the sake of shock value... The truth was bad enough without building it up

As above so below to my brothers and sisters stand fast in your beliefs let no one sway you. Only you can decide how to live your life,it is your decision how to live

The way I see it is that the witch trials were the result of rising fear in the Catholic Church authority. Reformism accelerated this fear even further, but it started earlier. However, based on historical data, these prosecutions were not only anti-witchcraft, but also anti-semitic, and homophobic. Due to the panic, people who had nothing to do with the accusations, were also sentenced. The rather peaceful religion, which Jesus put forward, changed to a more aggressive version in the Middle Ages due to political factors. It seems that the vices in people (greed, lust, pride, fear etc.) will always manipulate the original meanings and facts to suit their needs.

Blessed be to my brothers and sisters...)0(.......

and Brightest Blessings to you. ~Brother Absalom

Met Charley when he first came out with this album over 20 years ago. It was produced by the drummer from Santana. Charley was more dedicated to social work and social change than touring. The Only Green World.

Hello to all the people who are online I would like to tell you with no shame that I am a witch and I am proud to say so and I would like to say that I feel so very sorry for the men,woman and even children who were so unjustly persecuted and killed just for their beliefs they had done nothing wrong blessed be to the fallen.

I suspect the original saying was IF it harm none, do as thou wilt, lost over time by those who do not understand the difference between ruling and dominating.

The quote belongs to Aleister Crowley (Golden Dawn). A good description of what it means can be found on wikipedia:

"DO WHAT THOU WILT" can often be misunderstood to mean "do what you want". When one says "do what thou wilt", this means that the origin of will directs the path. To understand and act upon one's True Will is a sort of "enlightenment" to Thelemites. The ultimate goal of a Thelemite would be to understand and perform their True Will. "

@Odax Sobi Thank you, too many misunderstandings going around. It's pretty rare to see someone online who actually knows where that came from and what it means. Well, unless I'm dealing with fellow Thelemites. But we tend to be an evasive bunch, notoriously hard to pin down.

However none of us can say what may actually harm another - we can not know each other’s paths and destinies and we can not be the judge of what is “good” for another

March 1, 1692.....remembering the brothers and sisters who burned because of religious intolerance. Peace be with you today as we remember you.

The real purge was earlier in Europe. While the rest of the world advanced in medicine the church held us in the dark ages. See the movie The Physician an excellent example of the church's control of knowledge. Ben Kingsley Stellan Skarsgaard. Great movie.

The saddest thing was this had NOTHING to do with religious intolerance, that was just an excuse to use paranoia to gain the Church and those in power to remove their enemies by accusing them of being "Witches" when in fact the majority of these people as you know weren't even witches but just Midwives and children that were cruelly slaughtered. This happened again with the Jewish people in World War II because of bigotry. We must NEVER let this happen again! It's time the hate, racism and bigotry ended in this world before it is too late and humanity destroys itself! Brightest Blessings ~Brother Absalom

Christy Moore is a supreme idiot when it comes to politics and history. The
'witches' were all devoted Catholics and Protestants deemed such during
the Reformation. They would be horrified to think that people today
thinks they were pagans.

The actual number of real
witches killed was tiny and in many cases they were up to no good like
that bunch in Pendle and the psychopathic serial killer in Kilkenny
marrying and murdering men for their money.

Define 'REAL witches'?? Pre-christian Ireland was Pagan, you make bold claims speaking for millions of dead people, are you sure they were 'devout Catholics and protestants'? Paganism was very much a part of Irish culture, despite being indoctrinated into the church. And yes the church did cast out many Women of the earth, goddess's, with ancient knowledge. not hags that cast evil spells, any willful, powerful woman was considered a witch..... The religious cults (the church) brainwashed people into believing that women were less than we are, they tried to stamp out the ancient knowing, and worshiping of the seasons labeling it satanic. (the jokes on them) You are getting folklore and HISTORY mixed up Thomas.

@Thomas Sheridan stop liking your own comments it's kinda sad and for your info, I am true blood Wiccan witch and three of my ancestors were witches two were hung for being nothing more than healer using witchcraft and herbs and the other burned alive for again being a healer so you have no idea what you are talking about and you clearly no nothing about history of wiccans, I am a historian and never were they Catholics and Protestants, those accused were tortured to the point they could not take anymore and had no choice but to confess, many innocent people died at the hand of Christian religion, learn proper history

Incorrect me little gobshite protestantism didnt come about til martin luther ya see the German martin Luther nor mlk

As the druids were also killed òf by romans and their new religon. The witches were not devoyed chatolics gof to think i used to watch your videos ove learbed along time ago your a complete walter mitty that spouts shit Mr sheridan

@Athena Anffinson I'd love to be in contact with you since I am making some research on witches. thanks x

4 people are brainwashed by organized religion.

It is not for us to judge others for the path they walk, everyone has their own path they walk. The difference between Paganism and other religions is we must support the fact that each has their own path to walk whither we agree with it's principles or not as long as they respect us and harm none along the way. (not all people that walk paths different from ours are malicious)

Thank you do every much Maxine I listen to this first thing every morning before my day begins. Blessed Be.
Merry Meet Merry part Merry Meet again. May the God and Goddess Bestow many blessings upon you and yours for eternity.
