Witchcraft in the Middle Ages

If you are a witch or a western esoteric, you were probably one of two groups to be accused of worshiping Satan in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Anything that's in opposition to Christian thought is automatically heretical. And early physicians had more than just a small hand in this as well. They, in accusing, especially like folk healers and midwives of being witches, again, to basically force the competition out. So they're all witches. Let's burn them. Let's throw them in lakes and see if they float. If they don't float, then they're not witches for the drown.
