RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi authorities have executed a woman convicted of practicing magic and sorcery.
The Saudi Interior Ministry says in a statement the execution took place Monday, but gave no details on the woman's crime.
The London-based al-Hayat daily, however, quoted Abdullah al-Mohsen, chief of the religious police who arrested the woman, as saying she had tricked people into thinking she could treat illnesses, charging them $800 per session.
The paper said a female investigator followed up, and the woman was arrested in April, 2009, and later convicted in a Saudi court.
It did not give the woman's name, but said she was in her 60s.
The execution brings the total to 76 this year in Saudi Arabia, according to an Associated Press count. At least three have been women.

The funny part is that they said, "she had tricked people," meaning they knew she wasn't a real wizard.

No shit. The crime is practicing magic and sorcery, not actually being magic.

but how can you practice magic without actually being magic? That makes no sense, the crime would be silly, something like, fraud. which honestly isn't really an executable crime. look at bernie maddoff. Just jail. No, they would have had to execute her for actually being magic if the charges were for practicing it. but, they knew, so... I mean they had her arrested, they had to behead her. It's their way. you shouldn't judge.

Lol'd.
Hall and Neville were silly men. They had it coming.
An aspiring serial killer should be much more surreptitious...

Except it's an attempt to practise magic. Practising magic is illegal. Attempting to practise magic is therefore also illegal.

but magic isn't real. How can you practice it if it isn't real. You're just lighting incense and muttering words. the crime is misrepresentation, or fraud or something. The woman was killed for superstition.

It's the difference between magick and magic. Occult magick employs undiscovered or undisclosed naturalistic pathways to effect the desired outcome. It's only magick because it is not understandable to most people.
For example, Monarch mind control isn't really magick. It's deliberately exploiting the minds natural ability to disassociate when coping with trauma. It's not supernatural at all.

Yes, and doing that is illegal. I don't understand what you're not getting here.
(By the way, it's doing more than that. Most of it involves attempting to summon demons etc)

But demons arent real either, so summoning them isn't going to happen no matter how hard you try. Magic is fake, and executing somone for it is only because of fear of an imaginary threat.
She was a huckster yes, evil and dangerous demon summoning sorcerer... Nah. That's silly.
Hrr crime was fraud, but was executed out of superstitious fear.

No, but attempting to summon them anyway is a crime. Most people who try to summon demons actually believe in demons, by the way. It's the intent.

You're arguing that it should be a crime to attempt to summon something that we know doesn't exist?
So by your logic, wishing really hard for a demon to appear should also be a crime. The intent is there so obviously it's a serious crime.

But in the west we don't execute witches anymore cause reality. Intent doesn't really matter there, even if they tried to summon satan himself.
