Lucky for the girl who was hanged. Gently and gently. Didn't suffer much. Death is also different.

Inside an oven or with the help of gasoline, the important thing is that the witch burns alive!

THE WITCH AT THE STAKE - The execution (part 5)
The two girls were calm. They never imagined what they would end up shortly after: one devoured by flames, the other by wild animals.
And finally here is your deserved end, witch!
Burn!
Burn alive!
Burn! Burn! Burn! Burn to the death! It's your end!

Nowadays the crematorium oven can help us.
But it is better for the witch to be stripped naked, wet with gasoline and set directly on fire. It's important to watch her burning alive!

Each year our circle comes together to burn a woman to celebrate the 1558 heretic burnings in this town. It is a tradition dating back over 30 years. Sometimes a volunteer from among our own ranks steps forward. Other times we select a candidate among women in town that deserve to be burned because of their immoral deeds. When we can not settle for one of the townwomen, we lure a nonsuspecting tourist or a prostitute.
I know this may sound barbaric and cruel, but please understand that it's not meant to harm more than one person each year physically. We claim to do it as a symbolic gesture to honor those who were persecuted for their beliefs centuries ago. Some of the members of our group joined us from a religious point of view, although most do not have religion as a motive. Others are interested in history, or artists. They tend to be creative in how we burn our victims. But all of us either have a sadistic side hiding under the surface of their personality or, to say it simply, just have a grudge against women.
Among our members, we have the town mayor, all members of the local police force and fire brigade, the doctor and all reporters who work for the local newspaper. This makes it a lot easier to cover up any suspicious deaths.
Our 2020 victim was Martha, a prostitute. She was secured to a pole and burned in the old fashioned way, still quite popular among especially historians. Because lately more artists are becoming members, this is happening not that often any more.
In 2021 we voted unanimously for Cynthia, a restaurant owner. She had a gambling problem. She had the habit to empty the bank accounts of her lovers and then move on to the next victim. When that was not enough any more, she changed spiking some of the drinks she served with sleeping pills, to empty the creditcards of her sleeping customers. Because it could not be proved in court, she got away with it until we decided that she would be spitted and roasted over a fire. We used a bit too much gasoline, so she was well done within minutes. Still it was a lot of fun that evening.
The next year Violet volunteered, who has lost a poker game against a rival. The winner got the lover, the loser had to volunteer for the yearly burning. We promised her a rather quick death if she cooperated. She locked herself in a cage in a field while we dowsed the surroundings with gasoline and set it on fire. In her cage the flames did not reach high, fire sometimes can be unpredictable. A quick death was not in store for her. She screamed for a good twenty minutes while we were cheering and laughing. In the end we poured a bucket of gasoline over her cage. After that it did not take long for her to perish.
The 2023 burning will be Eileen. She is a tourist from the USA, snatched when she was hiking. I think she will be a memorable one. All the time in her cage, she is begging, offering anything to be released. The look on her face when we light the fire is so unforgettable.....

First having the limbs broken and then being burned alive surely must have been one of the most torturous way to die. Apparently wasn’t practiced very often, but there were a few occasions.
In year 1600 there had been a witch trial in Munich, Germany. The men first had their limbs broken, the only female victim her breasts cut off. It is mentioned that the executioner had been ordered to ‘proceed with moderation so that they won’t expire too early’. Thereafter one of them was impaled. Only then they were all burned alive.
In the aftermath more executions followed: the young son of the above family, a woman with her daughters and one more person were burned alive

I love this! Wonderful description. Do you have a source? I would love to see the historical text. Do you read German?
I agree about the wheel burnings. I can't imagine the feeling watching kindling being lit below, being naked, broken, and completely immobilized on a wheel. The whole ordeal would have been so excruciating. By the time the wheel was lifted onto a pyre, would the victim be utterly terrified at the thought of even more fiery pain? Or would death be too welcome by that point for anything to matter?

I can imagine once the delinquents‘ bones were shattered they just wanted to die as quickly as possible:
“According to a Mediaeval witness, the victim became “a sort of huge screaming puppet writhing in rivulets of blood, a puppet with four tentacles, like a sea monster, of raw, slimy and shapeless flesh mixed up with splinters of smashed bones”.
Unless the executioner delivered a coup de grace (blow of mercy) to the head, the broken victims lingered for a couple of days until the carrion crows pecked them to death.”
Even through burning alive was an extremely cruel execution method, for those victims having had their limbs broken beforehand it must have been a welcomed shortening of suffering

Isabella was petrified as she watched the flames consuming the charred body of her friend Agnes, whom had been unjustly condemned by the inquisition together with her, just too aware that her own ordeal was about to begin …

SIMULATION OF BURNING AT THE STAKE
We want to take a video with three witches burning alive at the stake. The three starring girl are naked. The camera is on.
Are you ready? Now we'll tie you at the pole. The fire will be lighted a little far from you. You'll be sure, but you must scream.
Com'on! Let's tie you at the stake
Ok, tied and ready for burning. But in the middle age they went to stake wearing the habit of penitents.
Wear it!
Ok! And now, fire! Scream, witches, scream as if you are really burning! What are you saying? The flames are really catching your habits? Certainly, we wet those with gasoline. The video must be true. Burn alive, witches!
