"This article proposes that Joseph Smith’s early trials were about 'pretended witchcraft and magic' and the related thoughtcrime of 'pretended religion,' categories of crime generated during the Enlightenment to categorize unorthodox religious traditions as witchcraft while negating their claims to miraculous or supernatural powers. Smith’s defense that he really was a seer was irrelevant because the legal system categorized the spiritual practice of treasure seeking as pretended witchcraft and magic." [Author]
