THE CHURCH vs WITCHES
A thread
There was a time in the past where the Church was fully in control of the then known modern world, that era is best known as the Dark Age because that was the time where anything that resemble progress and enlightenment was met with persecution and death.
At the top of the list of people who really suffered at the hands of the Church were "Witches"
Now, everything you know about witches, or what you think you know, was heavily shaped by the events that took part in the Dark ages, events that I'm about to break down as clearly as I can.
To better gain prominence, Christianity began by demonising other religions that already existed. They demonised Mediterranean gods, the gods of Celts, Teutons and any other religion that could pose a threat to their expansion.
