There are some features that can be found in all cultures, European and Asian, when it comes to the use of sorcery. A wizard or a witch can influence another person’s body and private property, he or she casts magic spells or conjures the dead and the devil. The powers commonly attributed to those believed to use magic originated in the pre-Christian beliefs of the peoples around the world. There was a time when the pagans in Europe strongly believed in gods, spirits and demons which could be called for help by the white witches and wizards or on the contrary to harm by the black witches. The Church placed a Christian methodology involving saints and divine relics which when venerated or mentioned in special ceremonies, such as the liturgy, would bring luck, health and peace. The fundamental difference between the pagan beliefs and the Christian doctrine consists in this clear statement: God is the only one who can be called for help and He does only good things. Satan is not worth paying attention to because he is an evil-doer.

Witchcraft and its origins can be traced back as far as 2000BC in Ancient Egypt and Babylonia where in existing records of the code of Hammurabi it says

If a man has put a spell upon another man and has not justified himself, he upon whom the spell is laid shall go to the holy river.

Witches and witchcraft

Witches and witchcraft

As I said, in the Middle Ages people were particularly interested in witchcraft. Anybody knows about the witch hunts. A witch-hunt is a search for the so called witches and wizards or evidence of sorcery, often involving moral panic, mass hysteria and mob lynching, but in many historical situations also legally sanctioned and involving official witchcraft trials. From this point of view the “classical age” of witch-hunts in Europe was between 1450 – 1700 which resulted in tens of thousands of public executions and torture. A very efficient “public service” specially founded for this purpose was the Inquisition. The Catholic Church fought by all means against heresy and the hostility to the ecclesiastical hierarchy. In England the episode of the “Witched of Pendale” in Lancashire represented a turning point for the evolution of the witchcraft phenomena.

In Eastern Europe, where most people are Orthodox, the “war” against the use of magic was not a priority. Pagan beliefs and customs were accepted by the Church as long as they did not interfere with or alter the religious doctrine. Spells and incantations were mainly used for domestic purposes such as protection of the family, of the cattle and very rarely to harm some neighbours.

Today, after of period when witchcraft has been neglected, it comes back but this time only as a source of inspiration for the showbiz. Especially in books and films aimed at the youth, witches are often depicted as wicked old women with wrinkled skin and pointy hats, clothed in black, with warts on their noses and sometimes long claw-like fingernails. They are usually portrayed as concocting magic potions in large cauldrons. Witches typically ride through the air on a broomstick as in Harry Potter’s universe. The modern folklore is represented mainly by successful literary works and movies such as the classical The Wizard of Oz, released in 1939, one of the greatest film ever.
Persons who engage in witchcraft and who are male are called wizard, sorcerer and sometimes a warlock if they indulge in black magic. Females who indulge in witchcraft are called Wiccan or witches.

Witches are thought to worship the devil. They are portrayed to cast spells and use supernatural forces to cause havoc within the community.

In Britain during the late medieval / Early modern period, many women were killed during witch-hunts. They were accused of being witches and would be strapped to a dunking stool, and submerged in the local river or lake. If the woman dies, she was then proved not to be a witch. If she survived, it proved her guilt and she would be burned at the sake alive.

Of course, most of the alleged witches were in fact destitute old women with no family. They plagued the communities begging door to door for food and milk. They would often curse the households who wouldn’t give them any food, to make them more generous when she next visited. But of course this gave the local folk cause to try the old women for witchcraft.

The Wiccans on the other hand, were herbalists of their time. They used plants to cure people and animals. However, the wiccan was misunderstood and would often be accused of being a dark witch when patents under their care worsened or died. Sometimes they were also called witches when they healed the very sick.

The spell casting evilness traits of witches has always been used to scare young children, just look at the classic children’s fairy tales. In Snowhite the wicked witch tries to kill her stepdaughter. She uses a spell to put Snowhite in a dead like sleep. In the story of Hansel and Gretel the evil witch likes to eat children. The mysteriousness of witches lends itself to creating chilling stories, and not just for children but adults too in the case of the Blare Witch Project.

Our fascination for witches and witchcraft is highlighted each Halloween, when many people like to dress up as witches. Luckily they no longer try witches on dunking stools. But curiously, ‘witches’ do still go begging for food door to door ‘Trick or Treating’.
