Well ask a german :-)
The burning of witchs is a wery new part of the tradition which was brough to denmark by germans under the potatoimmigratin in the 19 century, but it only became normal to do in the 20 century, even now a days there is many places that don't burn witchs.
Traditionel it is said to help the witch getting to Bloksbjerg(A city in german named Brocken) fast. Witch have a midsummer gathering there.
