History of Witches in the 16 and 1700's
HISTORY OF WITCHES IN THE 16 AND 1700's
Around the dark ages people believed in one god (which people still do today) and in their belief, it quotes, "any practicing of sorcery and/or witchcraft shall be purified." Basically meaning kill them. For centuries massacres and thousands of men, women, and children perished because of this so called witch hunt. In the mid 1800's the church declared them to stop these massacres.
People believed and still believe that witches came in with the Devil, actually there is no Devil in the craft we do not believe in such demons or devils. In fact, we see it as nonsence. Witches believe and believed in two entities a Lord and a Lady, and these beings are equal. But, the goddess (lady) gave birth to the god in the dawn of time.
