As this is a short history, we have now come to the end. It is the true story of persecution based on superstition, jealousy, fantasy and religious fanaticism.

Many of the condemned were muggles, except for one 79 year old woman who was noted in the records as insane. This witch, Kerstin had no relatives and lived with muggle friends who were unaware that she was a witch. In old age Kerstin became confused and actually declared insane long before the trials. She started doodling around in her old spellbook and quickly she sent her before the commission in Mora. Without a wand Kerstin was not able to save herself from the executioners axe and there was no real witch or wizard present who could help her. The magical community of Dalecarlia, whom most has fled the region during the trials, raised a status of Kerstin in 1676, the year “The Great Noise” ended.

The last person accused of witchcraft was sentenced to death in 1704. But accusations of witchcraft still continued into the 19th century.

A strange muggle tradition evolved in the 20th century where children on the day known as “Maundy Thursday” (Skärtorsdag) during easter walk around dressed as witches and wizards begging for candy so that they can make it to Blockula. For real wizard children this is a fond tradition where they can walk around undetected in their everyday clothes, mixing with muggles and receiving free candy.
