WITCHCRAFT = EVILNESS

During the medieval age, witchcraft was something very popular but at the same time it was underrated, it was only consulted by the Christian church. During this period Christianity had a powerful influence not only in matters of faith but also in the decisions of state. And because the witchcraft was against religion, it was considered devil's work, therefore the church said that these acts should be banned and punished.
From 1184-1965 the Catholic Church was dedicated to blame, arrestee, judge and sentence to death millions of people who were considered "pagan" and "heretics" by the benevolent and morally superior Christians who judge them  just because they didn't  follow the moral norms dictating  them as correct. The Holy Inquisition said supposedly witches were dark people that should be purified so this evil couldn't be spread among the society so they had to burn their souls back to purity by burning them. The social context was the divinity so all the events were related to a supreme being, thus charitable things were related to goodness and the unknown or harmed stuff was considered the work of the devil.
The fire is a symbol that has much relevance in cultures, both pagan and Christian. In the medieval age, according to Christian mentality of the time, it is said that the fire purifies, that ends with "the flesh" (the body), who considered the subject of sin.

Nowadays this topic is more open, although the church doesn't like it; the situation is still brought up and talked about in educational ways. Whether the acts of the church were considered sins and evil themselves, the supernatural is still something we can’t decide if it’s real or just all in our head.
