The Mysterious World of Witches Thousands of women were burned alive in Europe on charges of witchcraft.
Due to the lack of education and ignorance in the Middle Ages, there were many aspects of life that were considered beyond human comprehension, so they sought to justify them by attributing them to magic.
Women, in particular, were more involved in magic, and rumors about them became popular. For example, it was famous in the Indian subcontinent, the witch was known to have her toes turned upside down and she eat the liver of children.
It is also well known in our country that the enemy or rival is harmed by magicians and the effect of this magic can only be removed through magic. The most dangerous of these is black magic, on which the loss of life and property is certain.
In Europe, although people had an old belief in magic, in the 14th century, especially, this sorcery arose strongly against women. Historians have given many reasons for this. This was against women because from the earliest civilization till now women knew about herbs because they had been collecting and using herbs for centuries.
This knowledge was being passed on from women to women, but when male physicians came into the profession, they had to compete with women, so they were accused of witchcraft, and rumors were spread about them to destroy this knowledge. Which created hatred and fear against them among the common people.
For example, it was said that these witches were anti-religious, worshiped the devil, and often went to the forests at night to perform their devilish rituals. Devil himself comes to this party and patronizes them and gives them the knowledge through which they can harm people.

When these things became known about them, unfortunately, the victims were old women who lived alone and who sold various herbs and some food items on carts for their livelihood.
In general, people were terrified of epidemics and diseases because they did not yet know why these epidemics occur and how to treat the diseases caused by them, because before that Europe had been plagued by the Black Death epidemic. In which about 40% of its population was destroyed.
