Was this why witches were once burnt at the stake? No, it was due to patriarchal oppression, and fortunately, in our enlightened age, such brutality is a long forgotten thing:

Nowadays modern witches do great and exciting things, like defend political correctness by placing curses upon figures of the Right, and who could not see that as a fine thing to do with one’s black magical powers?

“A large group of witches is meeting in Brooklyn this month to place a curse on Judge Brett Kavanaugh “and upon all rapists and the patriarchy which emboldens, rewards and protects them.” “We will be embracing witchcraft’s true roots as the magik of the poor, the downtrodden and disenfranchised,” states a website advertising the October 20 event, “as often the only weapon, the only means of exacting justice available to those of us who have been wronged by men just like him.” Approximately 1,000 people have said they will attend the sold-out event, which will also be live-streamed on social media. A quarter of the proceeds will be donated to abortion giant Planned Parenthood, organizers stated. Dakota Bracciale, a “queer, non-binary witch” living in Brooklyn, who is spearheading the event, told the Huff Post that witches use hexes as a radical act of resistance against oppressors.
“Witchcraft has been used throughout history as a tool and ally for people on the fringes of society who will not ever really get justice through the powers that be,” Ms. Bracciale said. “So they have to exact their own justice.” Bracciale claimed that Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation was proof that survivors of sexual assault often do not get justice by going through the courts, but witchcraft can offer the means of “exacting justice that would otherwise be denied to you.” Hexes are “not something you do lightly,” Bracciale said, “but it is something you have in your arsenal or toolbox.” Bracciale distinguished a hex from a “binding” spell, which prevents someone from doing something and limits his ability to act. A hex, she said, is a more direct attack that engages its target in a supernatural fistfight.”
I expect that Justice Kavanaugh and President Trump will be turned into toads, so stay tuned, I will report on developments from the swamplands. Footnote; here is an explanation of non-binary gender:

These are people who are “not exclusively masculine or feminine [which are social constructs, and purely arbitrary, unless told by the Left, otherwise]—identities which are outside the gender binary and cisnormativity.”
Various forms of genderism are constructed daily and there are probably an infinite number of genders:
